Two weeks ago our Blyth corx•es- pendent "furnished the Advance with a few facts regarding the exception- ally long pastorate of Rev. Dr- Mc- Lean, pastor of Knox Church, Blyth: Owing to delay in obtaining a cert nr- dosed from London, we have bad to defer reference to Dr. McLean's re- moval. By the kindness of Bro. Kerr, of the Blyth Standard, we are able this week to present the portrait and also add to the information received from our correspondent. Bev. Dr. McLean, for forty years pastor of Presbyterian Church, BIyth, has closed.his labors there and will re- side in Goderich. Last Sunday, Rev. Mr. Martin of Exeter preached and declared the pulpit vacant. Seldom does a pastor remain so long •in a charge and hold so well the affections of his congregation. The following are a few statistics given by Dr, Mc- Lean :- Number on roll in 1800 68 Gain in 40 years 683 751 Loss in 40 years- by death and re- moval 412 Number on roll now 339 Baptisms in 40 years . 532 Marriages 257 Deaths of members in 40 years. 226 Deaths of infants and adherents 347 Average gain in membership yearly 7 Forty years ago (November 8th, 1800) Rev, A. McLean wasinducted intothe charge of Blyth and Belgrave Presbyterian Churches. Ten years later, the congregations had grown so that each felt able to sustain a pastor ; separation was agreed upon and Mr. McLean became pastor of Blyth con- gregation in 1876. Owing to his ten years connection with Belgrave, it was fitting that the congregation there should take notice (as they did) of the closing of his pastoral labors of 40 years, by presenting him with au address, at the band. of their paster, Rev, J. Nestle, referring to days long gone by. For 37 years, Dr. McLean was Clerk of Huron Presbytery, and those associated with him will not soon forget his kindly assistance and counsel, Before leaving for Goderich, Mrs. Mc- Lean was presented with a beautiful oak writing cabinet, and Dr. McLean with a cheque for $500. They leave behind them manywarm friends whoso hest wishes follow thein to their new horne, The Local Markets.

Next Tuesday, the second concert of the course in aid of Wingham hospital will be held in the Opera House. Tho Antericau Jubilee Singers are booked for that evening, and are sure to please, The Southern melodies always please and are never better rendered than by the Jr►bilee Singers. This oonpert will no doubt be largely at- tended. Ready For Business, Maxwell s Hill have been busy making changes to aaccointnedate the arrival of new• goods, The tailoring work shop will now bo upstairs, and the whole of the store downstairs used for sales -room. The tailoring de- partment will be in the rear of the stove, and the gents' furnishings will take precedence in the front. A new saileut salesman has been put in, and business Is open wide for customers, The .fit•ni will bo pleased to have our readers call and look over their stook. See advt. this week. Collision On A Dark Night. Ou Wednesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Orr, of hotel Brunswick, were driving home from Delmore, When their vehicle collided with that of Rev. Mr. Ratdmore, Who was ort his way home to Delmore. Mr. Orr was thrown out, and received some bruises, Neither of the buggies were much the worse. Ministers and hotel - keepers do not, as 11' ride, try to get so close to each other as these two did, but wo are inclined to think, it was not altogether brotherly love than caused them to almost rush into each other's arms. The intensely dark night may have had soinothing to do with it, 1)It.

On Friday evening, Miss Houghton and the choir of St. Paul's Church en- tertained a number of their friends in the school room of the church, in honor of Mrs. A. Rennie, who is re- moving to London. Mrs, Rennie has been a valued member of St. Paul's choir and will be very much missed. Her solos were always appreciated. During the evening .an impromptu program was rendered, and refresh- ments served. Mr. and Mrs. Rennie have made many friends during their twelve months' residence in Winghanr. Mr. Rennie has received as promotion on the G. T. R:, necessitating his re- turn to London. To Advertisers.

Remarkable Success. The suecoss that has attended the first term of Wingliam High School is really remarkable. Although this is the opening term, and the accom- modations ate rather restricted, en- tailing inconvenience for the titne be- ing, the attendance has been pheno- menal, and has now reached 138. This meads strenuous work on the part of the three teachers; indeed if we mistake not, the regulations of the School law would class Wingham as a five -teacher School. Notwithstanding the inconveniences under which the School is laboring at present, Prin- cipal Taylor and staff are doing excel- lent work. When the new building is completed, and the teachers and pupils have its advantages of room, light, apparatus and conveniences, a greater measure of success may be ex- pected. The attendance and interest prove clearly, what the Advance en- deavored to show a year ago, that Wingham was a suitable centre for such an institution, and should be very gratifying to the tax -payers, wile so willingly suppotted the By-law for its establishment. IVe lctlow of no other High School in the province, that in its initial term, rose to the five teacher requirement, When the ex• atninatioo tests have been applied, we shall look fora record, that not only Principaal Taylor and his assistants shall be proud of, but that the people of Winghantshalt regard with sincere gratification awl pleasure, At the nigh School Board meeting on Tues• day evening, it wes decided to ndvers Use for a fetish; teacher for 1007.

Yes, but perhaps there will not be any ; perhaps the Councillor's will be spared the anxiety of an election, and be allowed to quietly sit dawn with- out the form of an election, as they did last year. 13ut in 'any case, a Reeve must be chosen, to represent the municipality in the County Coun- cil. He should be good choice, a man of good judgment and experience. The Advance thinks Wm, Holmes would make a good man. Besides, he has earned the position by many years of faithful service for the town. He is a good roan at the Council Board too. Then at the next election, there will probably be chosen Commission- ers to manage the Waterworks and Electric Light, for the Council have taken the advice of the Advance and a motion to that effect is on the min- utes. Lastly but not least, will in all probability be a By-law to loan Win. Dore $5,000, without interest, repaya- ble in ten annual instalments of $500 each, to enable him to so enlarge bis carriage business as to employ 25 men, So that the approaching municipal election will be of interest to the elec- tors, even should the Councillors be allowed to sit down comfortably with- out a contest.

The Seaforth Expositor reports that offers have been made to Seaforth of electric rc � ower to be supplied. bythe Maitland River Power Co., and says :-"This company propose to de- velop electrical power on the Maitland River, near Goderich, and to erect works for that purpose. The estimat- ed cost of these works is $300,000. The town of Goderich have passed a by-law guaranteeing the bonds of the company to the amount of $150,000. The company now ask the towns of Seaforth and Clinton to pass a similar by-law, guaranteeing the company's bonds to the amount of $50,000 each, and the company is supposed to pro- vide the balance of the money to carry out the work. The reports of several eminent engineers have been procured showing that the wails is feasible ; that the required power can be developed from the Maitland Riv- er, v er, even at the lowest water time, and that the cost will bo as stated. The report of the Government Com- mission shows that power can be de- veloped and delivered in Seaforth for $25 per horse power per 21 hours ser- vice. To this has to be added the cost of local distribution, which is estimat- ed at from two to four dollars per horse power. Even at the last named figure the cost of power delivered here would be at least a, third less than the cost of steam power. The respon- sibilities to be assumed by Seaforth in order to secure the advantage of cheap power are so great, that the Expositor does not feel at liberty to advocate the adoption of the proposi- tion." MiSS CAROLING WELLWOOD. The above is a portrait of Miss Caroline, denghter of Mr. and 31i's. Wellwood of Wingham, who is leav- ing her home and native land to labor in missionary work in China. .Hiss Wellwood has had an extensive pre- paration for the work, having taken the Nurse Deaconess course at the Na- tional ',Graining School for Mission- aries in Washington, 1), ('„ including two years at Sibl�e hospital ; oneyear in mission work iit Philadelphia; ne year in Bible school ; deaconess to medical mission in Boston, attd head nurse in Talitha Cu►ni Maternity hos- pital, Boston.

The Prince Albert Times has this to say of our townsman, Dr. John Chis. holm.: "Dr, C'hisholin, .of Win ;ham, Ont„ is locating in this city. Ile has secured quarters in the An- drew Holmes block on Central Avenue, he is a son of Dr. Chis- holm, M,P., for Huron County. He has a pleasing personality and will no doubt prosper in his epos - en calling. He comes with a good experience, having practiced for six years in his home town, but like all young men got the West- ern fever." - The Advance may add that the block in which our former townsman has his office. is owned by a cousin of Mr. Wm.
