At the meetin.! of the Orangeville Preil)3iery, held at Oningevillo last week, a very full discusaiim of the organic union of the churches took place, the matter being vitwed in all its aspects, A motion was adopted unanimoualy, putting the Presbytery on record as in favor of or- Rxijic union, and as of the belief that, â- "the organic union of the churches would be for the advancement of the kingdmi of God, and in fultillment of Christ's command." The annual business mneiing of the Epwonli League was held last Monday when the following ofiicers were tleoted: Hon. Pres.. Rev. Wilson ; Prrs, Mm.W. Armstrong ; 1st. V.

McMullen ; Assistant, Miss Martin ; Treas., Thomas Bulmur ; Representative on District Leiigue Executive, Mrs. (Rev) Wilson. The Department reports sliowed the League to be in a flourishing condition. Orders have been issued to the Slst militia of Grey to go into camp al Niag.ira about the 14th of June, each company to have a complement of 40 men. The pay for milita service this year is incrsas- ed to 70 cents per day for first year men, 85a for second year men and one dollar for men who have served three years. This increase together with the improve- nient in rations will doubtless bring out a first-class lot of volunteers. Intending recruits should cull am' see Lieut. Rich- ardson as the muster will fill up rapidly. Mr. S. D. LeGaid, who recently left here for Ca'gnry. N.W.T., writes The Advance under date April 28 : Calgary is growing very fa.st. â€" new bouses in all directions. At 7 in the morning until 6 in the evening the hammers are kept continually going. Stone masons and carpenters arc in great demand. Stone- maaons gel 50c per hour, carpenters 30c per hour. Other work is not so plenti- ful just now. Seeding is nearly coin pleted here, although not much seeding is bt'ing done here ; tno.>tIy ranching. We left Toronto Tutsday noon and ar- rived in Calvary Saturday noon, and enjoyed our trip very much. No snow here when we arrived and none since, but a snow storm is looked for in May. The death of Mrs. Harvey Wilketson, which we announced last week,ie thus re- ferred to by the Moosomia Spectator of I date April 28 : "Mrs. H. E. Wilkeraon, of Tantallon, was brought here by train on Tuesday to undergo an operation io the hospital. She was very weak, and the only hope of her recovery was a suc- cessful operation. Her youngesL child, is only a cuupie of years old. After be- ing placed in the hospital her extreme weakness made an operation iiupossible. She gradually sank, and on Wednesday morning aboHt 5 o'clock her spirit tix>k its departure from its earthly tenement. Her death is particularly sad. Taken from husband and youtig family at the early age of 27 years her vacant place must make a sad, sad home. This after- noon at 6 o'okwJf her body was ceverent- ly laid away in the ae* cemetery, when a g'odly number of friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect for the departred." A serious accident occurred at • barn raising on the farm of John Stoneman of Amaranth, on Monday of last week, which resulted in the death of Ueury Besley. The body of the building had been com- pleted and the men were engaged puti ing up heavy green rafters. Three of the latter had been placed iu poaition prior Io being palled up on the building. The rafters through carelessness or oversight had tteeu left iu an almost perpendicular position and they slipped over sideways and in falling struck Henry Bcsel on the head, inflicting a small flesh wound over the right eyie and fracturiag the skull. The injured auMi was hurriedly taken to Mr. Stonemau's houie and Dr. Roonsy waa sumuiooed, but could do nothing for the sufferer. He never regained coa- sciousneas after being struck and died at 4.30 on Wednesday morning. The young man was to have been married in J une.
