When Blyth Orangemen do it, they de it well. George Smith and his red jacket wore Inueh in evidence. ;It was a glorious day, the sun shone btatttifully, but not too strong. Kincardine, Ripley, Lucknow, and other West Bruce points turned out en utsaee. West Bruce stalwarts know what a 02th of July celebration means, and they turn out. Editor Mooney of the Ripley Express marched with the Ripley lodge, of whioh he is master. Charlie Fioody couldn't stay in De- troit while there was au Orange celebra- tion in his native village, consequently be turned up in full regalia. John Wilford is a good man to have on a committee when a crowd is ex- pected. His longitude enables him to Was nothing thatehould be attended to. To the citizens of BI iii and others who so kindly rendered assistance in imilding arches and decorating, the Blyth Orangemen return their heart- felt gratitude and thanks. The 12th of July celebration this year was worth at least $600010 Blyth. It is reported that the two hotels took in $1000 each, Trinity church dining hall and lemur $205, Methodist church din- ing hall, $175, and the numerous boot he and refreshment stands varied from 7140 to 4258 each. Editor Hall of the Wingham Advance came down with the Wingham Orange- men, After marching up town with his brethren and spending a few mintown minutes viewing the hustle, bustle life of little Blyth be decided to take the next train for home, and he did. Mr. Hall is a little man who does not often wander far from his own fireside, hence life to him in a crowd is a burden. He is a decent fellow personally and we hope ,he will stay longer nest time. Presentation and Address. On Wednesday evening of last week Rev. Dr. McLean was made the reci- pient of a cassock, pulpit gown, purse of money and well -worded address. The pleasant affair took place hi St. An- drew's church. The early part of the evening was spent in partaking of lunch, ice cream and other delicacies, which were provided by the ladles in the base- ment of the church. After everyone present had been provided with the good things in the basement, adjourn- ment was wade to the body of the church. Mr. Richard Somers was ap- pointed chairman aad read the follow- ing address:— To Ray. A. MOLEAN, D.D., Btrre: Dear Pastor,—We are aesembled this evening under particularly pleasing cur- cumetaucee, to rejoice in the Scriptural maxim, that we should render honor to whom honor is due. Ae itis generally known, the senate of Queen's univer- sity, Kingston, a short time ago, be- stowed a distinguished honor by con- ferring the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon you, This university has in the past conferred this distinction upon comparatively few, thereby adding marked distinction to those who receive it. We may add here that the grant- ing of the degree was entirely unsolicit- ed by either the people of this congre- gation or yourself. It is therefor cafe to conclude that the bestowal was made on personal merit, and for a long and faithful ministry. This does not only apply to the preaching of the gospel, but also to a supervision over and a par- ticipation in those things which make for a higher moral character in the liveso( all in this community. Tbrough- out the church to which we adhere the beatowal of this was appreciated by many, for you are well and favorably known from the Atlantic to the Pacific by the ministry of the Presbyterian church in Canada, Perfection we do not look for, none attain it here, but the congregation of St. Andrew's church, Blytb, appreciate the gift be- stowed after a testing of a great many years in ministering to our spiritual neede, and of help freely given in tune of trouble and sorrow. We are confi- dent we voice the sentiments of this audience in welcoming Dr. McLean home again from the long trip across the continent to the city of Vancouver in British Columbia. We hope your trip has been profitable and pleasant, and that renewed health and strength has been added by the balmy breezes of the Pacific ocean and the pure air of the Rocky mouutaine. In concluding this address the congregation of St. An- drew's church, Blyth, desire the accept- ance by Doctor McLean of a cassock, pulpit gown and puree of money aa a token of their esteem. and as a recog- nition of the honor conferred. Signed in behalf of St. Andrew's congregation, Blyth, Mrs. Curtis, Mrs, J. M. Hamil- ton, John Brigham, A. Elder, 1), B. Mc- Kinnon, Walter McGowan, A. H. Jacobs. Mr, John Brigham presented the pul- pit gown, and Mr. A. H. Jacobs the cassock and purse. Rev. Dr. McLean thanked his congre- gation for their goodwill towards him. He gave a brief review of his 87 steers' pastorate among them end said he had been frequently invited to become the pastor of other churches, but had de- clined all invitations, as he preferred to stay in Blyth, whose people he liked and loved, Congratulatory addresses were given by Rey. J. Edmonds and Rev. John Holmes, of Blyth, and Rev. J. J. Haste, of Belgrave. Special music was furnished by the choir of the church be- tween each speech. ENTRANCE EXAMINATION.

To Rest 8 sf Eyes. The people who quit reading " just to rest their eyes" might take a hint by inference trona the reply made by an old Mississippi illiterate. A passing man found him apparently deeply interested in a paper. On looking close it became apparent that bis paper was upoide down, and he was asked forthwith why he held it thus. His reply almost knocked the ques- tioner out. It was: "Just to rest my eyes!" BANK OF HAMILTON Capital, all paid up, $2,000,o0o. Reserve, $1,700,000. Total Assets, over $22,000,000.

BLYTH Bank or Hamilton. From the Monetary Times. Rather unusual interest attaches this year to the report of the Bank of Ham- ilton. The recent death of a prominent director, the resignation of the presi- dent, Mr. John Stuart, and that of the vice-president, Mr. A. G. Ramsay, the necessary choice of three successors to these gentlemen, were all uncommon circumstances, and the lose of old aero• elates properly called for expressions of regret. On the other hand the success- ful result of the year's business of the bank was by no means an unusual thing, for the Bank of Hamilton has during 81 years *hewn excellent earn- ing power, having accumulated in that period a reserve almost equal to the paid capital. The provision which has been made for the retiring president, a retiring allowance to that gentleman of $50000 a year for the remaining years of his life, shows that the bank knowe hoe, to deal generously with a faithful servant. It was proposed at the meeting by the largest charehoider and carried without a dissenting voice. Y'e have found the addrese of the general manager very interesting, Tint gentleman reviews the career of the bank since he joined its staff, and makes a comparison of its resources and bush neas at period* tee far apart as les8 and 1908. He describes the satisfactory re- sult of the forward poiioy he recut. mended and the board sanctioned a dozen yeare ago, whereby the bank's branches were scattered widely east- ward and westward from Hamilton. The bank has now 50 branches, its de- posits are nearly 916,000,000 and its loans over $21,000,000. Some timely worde were spoken by Mr. Turnbull as to the danger to be guarded against, in a rapidly growing country like this, of a tendency to become over•eanguine and over -speculative. There is, without donht, he sees, "a real danger in this characteristic of ours, and itis the part of all prudent persons and those who have the best interests of the country at heart, to spare no effort to discourage such business methods and enterprises, and to try. by precept and example, to confine all over whom they have any influence within the paths of mode simplicity, careful living and goo sense." —Dr. 11a11, of Harriston, was shot in the foot when he was 14 years of age, and all the grains were not extracted. He began to suffer conaiderable pain recently and went to the Toronto gen- eral hospital, where Dr. Teekey ex. tracted seven grains of shot, having lo- cated theta with the X ray apparatus,
