A. of Sunderland, will be held in St. Andrew’s church on Friday evening, at 8 o’clock. Before this service begins a meeting of the congregation will be held for the transaction of important business. The Rev. Dr. Potts, of Toronto, secrets of the Educational Society of the Meth - ist Church, will preach next Sunday, mornin and evening, in the Cambridge street Iethodist church.

Hunter, of Toronto, superin‘ tendant of agencies. and Mr. G. H. Allen, of Peterborouzh, inspector, of the Stand- ard life assurance company spent a few days in town last week. Mrs. Robb. Cliff returned home last Friday, after a. two monht’s visit to her relatives in Genoa, Ill. The special meeting of the Board of Trade last Thursday evening was well .at- tended, the question for conSIderation being the lighting of the town by electric light. Messrs. M. D. Barr, of Montreal, and Jenks, of New York were present on behalf of the Edison electric light com- pang Mr. Jenks is general manager of the dison company, and Mr. Barr their lagent for Canada. Both representatives 3 ably set forth the claims of their system, Mr. Jenks especialy handling the subJect of electric lighting in a manner which only a perfect master of the subject could do. 1 The impression which Mr. J enks left u 0n \ those who heard him was most favora le. A number of questions were put of a prac- tical nature and satisfactorily answered. The electric light question is rcceivinga good deal of attention, and wisely so, before any steps are taken to put the matter into practical shape. We presume Lindsay will ere long adopt modern im- provement in the matter of street and private lightin , but it is the proper course to carefully loo ’ into the different systems before undertaking so important a move.
