the hops ignited from the furnace and the place was ablaze in an instant 200 will cover the loss small insurance quarterly serrioos the regular quarterly communion serr ices in connection with acton circuit of the methodist church will be held next sun day in the b rick church about two miles west of here bev wm savage gaelph will assist in the services there will be no morning service in the methodist church here but bev mr savage will preach in the evening the new arrangement for holding the communion services alternately at these two appointments is owing to the recent union of the methodist bodies while the members of acton church are heartily willing that the quarterly serr- ices should occasionally be held at the brick it will be very inconvenient for them to attend as comparatively few have any means of conveyance and consequently must remain at home on he bther hand nearly all the members of the brick church are owners of horses and carriages and can conveniently come to service hew wa think that it would be better for all con cerned for the quarterlyservices to be held regularly inacton as all could then attend and more sacoessf ul meetings be the result
