Lrossley and Hunter, and we fancy if there were any “ tire” to the rev. gentle- men their arms would require slings from ‘_ the amount of handshaking- The train was late, and a drizzling rain falling all the time did not dampen the ardor of those waiting, but as the train moved in the united choir on the platform com- menced singing, “ Shall we gather at the river,” “God be with you till we meet again,” and “ Praise God from whom all blessings flow," during which the train moved out, amid waving of hankerchiefs.

About 3 o'clock on Friday morning last a fire was discovered in the tin shop of Alexander Sutherland. With such rapidity did it spread that it was found impossible to rescue an occupant, John McGowan. Beside him lay his faithful dog. companion in life and death. Two buildings were burned, owned by Thomas Byres and occupied by Alexander Suther- land and John Atkinson. The losses are: T. Byres, on buildings $1000, insured $850; A. Sutherland, stoves and tin-ware $2400, insured $1200; John Atkinson, butcher, stock and furniture $500, insured $150. Mr.:-J os. Hawkins’ Death. Last week we briefly noticed the death of Mr. Jos. Hawkins. of Ops, as received by telegram from the north country, where he and several friends had been deer hunting. On Tuesday, 8th inst., Mr. Hawkins was apparenfly in his usual good health, and the whole party started out on a hunt. After going but a short dis- tance, however, he complained of a severe headache, and decided to rest while the others went on. This was the last seen of him alive by his companions. On their way back they came upon his body in the bush, life being quite extinct, his death being caused by heart failure. It is needless to say that the event was a great shock to the party who had left their companion but a few hours before. Being a considerable distance from Hali- burton, the nearest station, the news of the sad occurrence did not reach here un- til Wednesdoy afternoon, where it was received with the greatest regret. Mr. Hawkins wss but in the prime of life, being 52 years of age at the time of his death, and was well and favorably known throughout this district. His death was a severe shock to his wife and family, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the com- munity in their bereavement. The funeral on Friday last to the Riverside cemetery was the largest seen in this section for many a day. The Crossley and Hunter Meetings. For the past four weeks there have been union meetings held in the several Protestant churches in this town, under the leadership of the Rev. Messrs. Cross- ley and Hunter, evangelists, assisted by the local clergymen, which have been attended with such results as no one can estimate. There never in this town have been meetings attended with such regular- ity, and in such immense numbers, and with such seeming heart-felt demtion. Every night the largest churches have been filled to the doors, and indeed the only way to secure a seat was to get there nearly an hour ahead of time. The evan- gelists favor no church or party, their object is to assist in saving the souls of the masses, and doing good to the greatest numbers. With this aim in view the . night meetings were held each week alternately in the Presbyterian and Cam- bridge st. Methodist Churches, they being the largest, and the afternoon meetings in the other churches. The unanimity with which the local ministers went into the work, helped materially to secure the grand results which have followed from these servrces. It would be impossible for us to give even an outline of the proceedings, but merely to notice briefly the closing services on Tuesday night. Long before the appointed time every available seat was occupied and even no standing room was left when the ministers entered the church. The meeting was opened by Mr. Crossley singing the beautiful hymnâ€" “ We shall reach the river side, Some sweet day, some sweet day,” After singing several hymns, as few men could sing them, Mr. Hunter made some feeling remarks touching their departure from Lindsay, and by way of showing the] sincere fusion of the several churches called on the local ministers, all of whom were on the platform, to say a few words in reference to the work about to be terminated, as far as the evangelists were concerned, but only in its infancy as far the local churches are concerned. He humorously introduced them as represent- ing not their own churches, but those of their brethren, mixing them up undiscrimi- nately. Short and soul-stirring addresses were delivered by Rev. Messrs. Hill, Greener, Marsh, Ware, Campbell and Johnston, and such was the effect on the vast multitude that we almost expected a burst of applause to resound through the church. But the feeling was of a different nature, which felt and appreciated the great work that has no more than com- menced in our midst. The meeting was formally closed at about 10 o’clock, but the inquiry meeting, which filled the large school-room in rear of am church. , did not close until close on 12 o’clock. We need scarcely say that the sweet singing of Mr. Crossley tended much to the success of the Gospel, and the several duetts sang by that gentleman with Rev. Mr. Ware, and Miss Hammond and Miss King and Miss Jackson were soul-stirring to a degree, particularly the closing one by Mr. Crossley and Mr. Ware “I’m not mygown. ,7 figs-ii I. 10%,”. ' , mpression among teachers and others on this subject, it may be well to state the terms on which third class certificates are extended in this county. (1)The candidate must have passed one of the non-professronal examinations since the certificate was granted. (2)He must take the Model School examination. . (3)He must be recommended by his inspector. (4)The board of examiners must consent. (5)The last place of teaching must have been in this county. J. H. KNIGHT, P. S. Inspector.

Matchett, C.P.R. telegraph agent, and presented him with a handsome silver tilting water pitcher and goblet, the lid being suitably engraved, as a mark of their appreciation of his kindness in reporting the results of league matches and in many other ways lending gratuitous aid and courteous service. â€"The Guide saystâ€"The heaviest man in the world is now on exhibition in a vacant store in Quinlan’s Block, Port Hope.

Its age can be traced by a family tradition to 140 years, at least, and it may be 20 or 25 years older. It is, at the present time, of symmetrical shape; the trunk is nearly round, without a scar or blemish on It; there are eight large branches; five. of them have been in the habit of bearing one year, and the remaining three the next. From the five branches 110 bushels of apples have been gathered. The_ tree measures 13 feet 8 inches around, 15 60 feet high, and the branches spread 100 feet. â€"Narrow tired vehicles are so destruc- tive to roads that the suggestion has been made that some effort should be set forth in Ontario to encourage the use of broad tires. In Chicago this method of saving the pavements is being adopted. It 13 proposed to license every wheeled vehicle. and to grade the fees so that the highest figure shall be paid for the use of narrow tires. Waggons carrying four tons are to be assessed $50 if the tires are 25; inches or less, 830 if the tires are 3i inches, and $10 if they reach 4 inches in width. The minimum fee is $1 for vehicles having tires 4;]; inches, We have plenty of taxa- tion in one shape or another at the present time, but here is an instance In which taxes should tend to reduce the burden of taxation.
