interesting To Students.
It will be of interest to students
who purpose writing on the higher
grade departmental examinations this
summer to learn that -special care will
be taken lay the examiners in setting
the papers to avoid what is known as
the "catch paper." The papers this
year will deal with the work very
comprehensively, but will avoid any-
thing like "catch questions."
Satisfactory Development.
Wingham will make greater sub-
stantial growth during 1907, than in
any recent year. Three blocks—the
Hanna, the Mackenzie, and the Wil-
son buildings ; one Bank, (that of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce); and
about twenty-five new residences.
The assessment next year should be
from $50,000 to $100,000 more than in
1907, and the tax rate proportionately
less.
Partnership Formed.
Messrs. John Ritchie and A. Oosens
have formed a partnership to conduct

Ritchie and Cosens. Both have had
considerable experience in the insur-
ance business, and as Mr. Cosens has
recently acquired that of Jas. 11. Chis-
holrn, they should be able to do a suc-
cessfnl business. The union of inter-
ests will permit one to be in the office
during office hours, while the other is
free to attend to outside business.

Resolution Of Sympathy.
At the regular meeting of Wing -
ham Lodge, No. 11, 0. Y. Britons, the
following resolution was passed by a
standing vote : — Moved by Bro.
Adams, seconded by Bro. Carr—That
this lodge desires to record its sincere
sympathy with Bros. John, George,
and Edward Baird, in the loss they
sustained by t ea
the rete death t
h of their
n
slater. The members of No, 11 assure
these bereaved brothers of their deep
fellow feeling with them in this afflic-
tion, that has overtaken them. May
the God of all consolation grant thein
true resignation, natio and uphold and bless
, p
them in their sorrow. Signed on be-
half of the Lodge—W. Adams, T. S.
Boyle, T. H. Robertson, Committee.
The Right Stand.
It is said on good authority, that
where local option carried by three-
fifths majority, and subsequently the
by-law was quashed on a pure legal
technicality, considerable difficulty
may arise in securing licenses. It is
understood that the Ontario Govern-
ment does not favor the granting of
licenses in such places, but holds that
the expressed will of the people
should rule. Premier Whitney holds
that the wish of the people, as express-
ed by ballot, should not be thwarted
by mere technicalities. Aside from
the view from the temperance stand-
point, this is right, and a noble stand
to take in any ease. In a democratic
country like Canada, the will of the
people should rule.
Women's institute.

men's Institute held their annual

Lecture On Palmistry.
Prof. O'Brien gave his lecture on
; Pahnistry in the Opera House on
Tuesday night. He showed that it
rested on a scientific basis, explained
the lines upon the hand, and refuted
the statement that these were duo to
age. The seven types of hands were
explained, and illustrated by means of
charts. For over two hours, the audi-
ence listened attentively. Madame
O'Brien rendered several solos, and
was each time recalled and responded.
Her selections were well received.
The Misses Orr gave two piano duets
in good style. The Professor is an
enthusiast in Palmistry and certainly
gave a very clear explanation of the
features of the human hand, and their
accompanying characteristics. Ile ex-
pects to remain in Wingham a week
or ten days longer.
Robt. Small Deceased.

St. Paul's Year Book.
This year, the Brotherhood of St.
Andrew took charge of the issue of
the reports of the various societies of
St. Paul's Church, and they have been
issued in the form of a "Year Book,"
At first, it was thought that seven-
teen pages would contain the matter,
and that 200 copies would suffice, but
the report grew until it reached twen-
ty-five pages, and three hundred
copies were required. Hence the
original cost, as contemplated, was
largely increased, but the book will be
preserved for the information it pre-
sents. It Contains an interesting
sketch of the history of the Church in
Wingham, from the year 1860, when
Rev. Wm. Murphy, of the mission of
Kinloss and Teeswater, took an in-
terest in Wingham, then scarcely a
village, and traces the growth of the
Church from its organization in 1867
down to the present time, finding all
departments showing healthy increase
uncler the present able Rector, Rev.
T. S. Boyle, M. A„ B. D. The refer-
ences to the early pioneers, who stood
loyally by the Church in its early
days will be appreciated, though
many of them have passed to thea'
reward. The Year Book also presents
the portrait of the Bishop of Huron,
also of eight of the Rectors who have
ministered to the congregation, and
of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew.
The old and the new churches are also
presented in contrast. The Year Book
also contains the reports of the
Churchwardens, the Rector, the Sun-
day School, the Woman's Auxiliary
and the Girls' branch, the Anglican
Young People's Association, the Bro•
therhood of St. Andrew and the
Women's Gnild ; also missionary sub-
scriptions for the year, the baptisers,
marriages and burials. The reports
shots gnat the various organizations
of the Church are active, and doing
their work successfully. , Every mem-
her and adherent of the CJhanreh shontd
purchase a copy of the Year Book,
and preserve it for the references it
coating.

evening at the close of the preaching
service.
The 88th anniversary of the L 0. 0,
F. was celebrated by Montanus, Lodge
No. 177, by attending Divine service
in the Methodist Church. With visit-
ing brethren from Teeswater, Wing -
ham, Brussels and Listowel, the lodge
mustered about eighty. The church, -
which had been previously decorated
by members of the choir, looked very
pretty, and was filled to the doors.
Rev, J. $. Osterhout, B. D., preached
a strong sermon from the words—
"Friendship, Love and Truth," the
motto of the L 0. 0. F. The sermon
was a good one, and was presented in
the forceful and energetic style char-
acteristic of the young pastor. Many
of the Oddfellows characterized it as
the best Society sermon they had ever
listened to, The choir gave suitable
music and the service was voted a
grand success. The members of Mon-
tanna lodge received many words of
praise on the improved appearance of
their hall,
At the meeting of the Quarterly Of-
ficial Board of the Wroxeter circuit,
last Monday, the following resolution
was unanimously carried by a stand-
ing vote :—
"Whereas we learn that our pastor,
Rev. J. H. Osterhout, B.A., B. D., is
about to leave our circuit, and -
whereas, as result of his pulpit
ministry, which has been of a very -
high order, his faithful pastoral
work, and his tactful and resource-
ful ministry, the circuit has made
marked advancement, reaching the
highest position that it has attained
for a number ofjyears ; therefore be
it resolved thatlwe, the members of
the Quarterly Official Board of the
Wroxeter circuit, desire to place on
record our high appreciation of Rev.
Mr. Osterhout and his devoted and
faithful wife, and we wish thexu
continued success in the Master's
work."
During his three years' pastorate Rev.
Mr. Osterbout has received into the
church nearly 70 members, and al-
though the circuit suffered heavily by
removals, the membership has in-
creased from 152 to 188. The salary
has increased $200 in the 3 years, and
the missionary and other funds have
increased accordingly.
