Smith «is Fell’s shingle mill is in full blast, and has been for three months or more, as it was only shut- down for a very fiw weekn early in winter. The dcmand for labor in the mills has brought many new residents into the village, and strange faces are becoming daily mono numerous; the vacant dwellings are one by one finding ten» ants, and the old (.‘lifton House, which is the property of Mr. R.

THERE is a scandal about Mr. Hand ford, a leading Congregational minister of Toronto. It appears that grave ru.. more affecting his character have been in circulation for some time. The mat- ter came to a climax by one of the dea- cons, Mr. Thompson, resigning because of what he knew. His reasons were that Mr. Handford had been guilty of drunkenness, the appropriating or rather not accounting for a portion of the funds received from a church bazaar and of indiscretions with two or three female members. A church meeting was held on Tuesday evening, but Mr. Thompson declined to make any charges against Mr. Hanford, and wished to say what he had to say before a com- mittee. The congregation were not disposed to allow this, and Mr. Hand" ford denied all the graver charges against him, although admitting that he had not been as wise or prudent as he might have been. A resolution of confidence was proposed to the ell'ect that the church having heard the ru~ more brought against the pastor believe them to he frivolous and unfounded, and record their unabated confidence in him. and hopedthat the church Would work together with greater harmony and zeal than eVer. z‘The resolution was put to .1 standing vote and declared carried by a nmjority of 62 to 3. It is charged that there is a regular system of persecution of Mr. Iiandford, and that this is a part of it. The charges ‘ were oliicinlly denied at a meeting on i \Vcdnesday. l WHILE the North Pole has long been a source of interest and a field for ex- ploration 011 the part of the enterprising maritime nations of Northern Europe and the United States, the South Pole has been comparatively neglected. But little more is now known respecting it than when Captain 0001: made his dis~ coveries of land surrounding it in 1775, though his subcesso1s have defined the shore line with a gleate1 amount of accu1acy.

It is hoped that they will be able considerably to extend the researches of their predecessors, if they do not succeed in reaching the Pole itself, as the early discoverers in that direction had not the aid of steam.

A STRANGE l‘ItIG.â€"â€"()n \Verlnesduy lust Mr. ll. Drynmn brought us two eggs, one of which Was only remarkable for its size ; but it was a big one, as it measured six inches by aeven inches and a hall'iu circumference a'nd weighed three and a quarter ounces. The other, though not larger than common, was veny remarkable, for at the small end, where it went off to a point, there pro« jccteil a pipe or tube; nearly two inches long, and about as large as a rather thin lczul pencil. The tube appeared to be a continuation of the membrane with which the shell was lined, and was full of the albumen or “white,” with which the yelk'of an egg is sur- rounded.

If there he any smongyou, one single patron who don’t owe us anything, then to him we my, step aside; consider yourself a gentle» man. If the rest wish to know why we dun them, this is our answer: Not that we care about ourselves, but our creditors do. Would you rather that we went to jail and you go free, than that you pay your debts and keep us moving? As we agreed, we have work- ed for you ; as we contracted, we have furnished the paper to you ; but as you don’t pay, we duu you.

Advertisingâ€"The Monetary Times a short time since in an 'atticle on busi- ness failure, stated that the luck of ad~ vertising was one of the chief causes of business failures. There are business men who don't understand the value of advertising. They do not see the di~ rect connection between advertising and the entrance of it customer, or the de-- mam! of any particular article. They also with u self-importance which is amusing, fancy their businesses are known to the whole community, chang- ing as that community is to an extent which they have no conception of.
