RSV. DR, A, McLEAN.
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,

Hospital Concert.
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

The .fit•ni will bo pleased to have our

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,

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

ments served. Mr. and Mrs. Rennie
have made many friends during their
twelve months' residence in Winghanr.

To Advertisers.
DEAR FRIENDS,-Ohristmas is ap-
proaching, and at this thee of the

you would give us your changes of
advertisement earlier than usual, it
would enable ns to give them more
attention and avoid causing night
work. As '

takes no longer to write
an ad, one day than another, will you
help ns out. Some always send their
ads. in Saturday ; this is appreciated,
as it gives us a good start on the next
issue. We shall appreciate any help
you can give us in this way, It is dis-
tracting to have a lot of changes come
in, just when every effort is being
made to close the news forms. Thank-
ing you for your kind efforts in the
past, wo wish you a prosperous No-
vember and December trade, -TIM

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.

The Municipal Election.
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.

Power From Goderich.
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."

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

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."
