On a recent evening one of the young ladies in town had an experi- ence on Turnberry street, near the bridge, that she will not soon forget. While making her way to call on friends north of the river she encount- ered an unknown gent who clasped her in his arras to her alarm and dis- gust. The meeting was very brief and the gait struck after this informal introduction very rapid, the lady re- ceiving a great fright. Whether the man was the worse of liquor or not is not known but a watch has been set and this warning note is sounded that there's a hot time ahead of the gent if the offence is repeated. Grey.

The animal was in a box stall, and jumped out on to a wheelbarrow, and the handles of the latter pierced his bowels, so that be had to be killed, It is a serious loss to Mr, Davidson, On Monday last, Mr, Robt, Thomson, who recently lost a son so suddenly, met with an unfortunate accident. Ile was eating down a tree in the wends, when he slipped, and the axe indicted a severe gaeh in his head.

East Wawanosh. We are pleased to hear that Mrs. Geo. Robertson is improving nicely, after her severe illness. Herbert Shiels and Edward Fitz- patrick are cutting wood for Sam. McBurney. Do it up right Ed. Since the logs are all cut and away, the men are now cutting up the tops into wood in Mr. McLean's bush, on -Mrs. McNeil's place. George Skinn and Harry Chamber- lain cut nine cords of wood in nine hours ; it being maple and beech tops at that. Had it been body maple and beech, they could have easily made the other cord in game time. Worth Knowing. None of the small accidents to which everyone is liable is more annoying than to have a sliver of wood stuck into the hand. Moreover, it is very painful if not promptly removed. If the wood of the splinter is. soft, its removal is not easy, if attempted with a needle or other sharp instrument, Steam may, however, be employed without inconvenience pr pain, and is very effective. A wide mouthed bot- tle, such as a milk bottle, should be filled nearly full of water as hot as the glass will stand, and the injured part' placed over the mouth of the bottle, pressing down slightly, and preventing any steam from escaping. This will cause the flesh to be drawn down, and in a minute or eo the steam will extract the splinter, at the same time relieving all inflammation. This is a simple bit of information, but well worth having. A LETTER FROM MANITOBA, Gladstone, Man,' Feb. 10, 1912. To the Editor of the Advance -;- DIi it Sim,—In renewing our sub- scription to the Advance, I take this opportunity of writing you a short letter in regard to the pert of Mani- toba in which we live. Our nearest town is Gladstone, situated on the banks of the White Mud River, in the centre of an old inhabited district. We are Iodated in a very desirable part of Manitoba, only ninety-three miles from Winnipeg, consequently we are right at the front, and with the services of the 0. N, R. and 0. P, E. We 'seldom get forty or fifty bushels of wheat per acre like some of our Westerners, but we have never had a crop failure in the past fifteen years. This was formerly a serub country, but it is nearly all under Cultivation now, except for the bluffs, ' which almost every farmer has on the north side of his buildings for a wind break. We have some very prosperous farm- ers around here, a good many of then formerly from Ontario, wh`oin I be- lieve oonetltute the best adders in the North-west today, Wiehing the Advance many happy and prrospetona years. Yours truly, »w * WAVIONv (Murch 'dews The next regular meeting of Mait- land Presbytery will be held in Wing- ham on Tuesday, March 5th, Kincardine 'Methodist Church was erected in 1870, and last week, the indebtedness was cancelled. and .the mortgage burned, Rev, E I3.

Struggle may be more important than victory, Struggle is sure to make character, and victory often fails to do so. Struggle is progress ; victory may be standstill. Rev. J. B. Saer of Toronto, formerly Congregational minister here, will preach in the Baptist Church on Sun - clay, March 10, morning and evening, The Rev, gentleman will spend a few days with friends here. On Wednesday evening, March 6th, the Joint Boards (Official and Trustee) of Wingham Methodist Church, will meet after the prayer meeting, to' record their votes on the question of Church Uoion, now before the Church- es concerned. Hand Of Providence. Rev, R. J. Burdette, lecturer and humorist, says :—When a man falls downstairs and breaks his leg, we call that an accident. -When the man next door falls downstairs and doesn't get a bruise, we call that a "provi- dence," It seems, then, according to our faith and teaching, that provi- dence, is a sort of neighborhood ser- vant, who can't be in more than one house at the same time, Well, my experience and . observation have taught me that a `neighborhood ser- vant" is the most unreliable depen- dent in the whole catalogue of assis- tants. When you need him most sorely, he is most certain to be busy in the house at the end of the block. I want providence to be present at all my accidents, or none of them. Addresses on Church Union. The question of the union of the Churches, which is engrossing so much of the attention of Church people nowadays will be the subject • of two addresses in the Methodist Church next Sunday evening. Mr. John Kerr, who is a convinced and enthusiastic supporter of the proposed union, will present that phase of the question and Mr. Theo. Hall, of the Advance, who is of opinion the union would not be in the best interests of the Kingdom of God, will give an address on the sub- ject from that point of view. As the pastor is very anxious that his congre- gation should be prepared to give an intelligent vote on the question, he hopes that as far as possible all mem- bers and adherents of the Church will try to be present on Sunday evening. For Sunday Schools. 'All Sunday School scholars should know the following :—Robert Raikes, originator of Sunday Schools, was born in Gloucester, Eng„ Sept. 14, 1735. His father was a printer, and proprietor of the Gloucester Journal, and he succeeded to the business, keep- ing it up until 1802. He loved chit- dren all bis days, and his pity for the misery and ignorance of many in his native city led hire about 1780 to start a school where they might be taught to read, and to repeat the catechism; Accounts of the scheme in the columns of his journal attracted at- tention, the movement grew, and Raikes himself lived to see the schools widely spread over England. He died April 5, 1811, and was buried in the Church of L'Mary de Crypt, Glouces- ter, all the children that attended hie funeral being given, by his direction, a shilling and a plum, cake, Church Union Vote.
