Since the time whereof the memory of mn runneth not to the contrary, ye psthmsster has been piling mud on the middle of the rosd, which the fall sud spring rain gleefully wssh back into the ditch. With a pstience and 8 persistence worthy of s. better cause yo psthmsster puts it beck again the following June ; sud this see ssw businses hss been going on ever since Columbus discovered Americs. Cc- cssionslly the psthmsster will dump s grest land of rock in the middle of the highway, but the husky fsrmers slid the “ trsnsisnt public” csrefully drive around this primitive piece of mscsdsm if they have to tske to the fields for it.

The transformer on the electric light post at the front of the church had been struck and burn. ed out, the switches in the church and a number of lamps also being burned out. The wiring in the tower was also badly wrecked and some plaster shook ed in the tower. The first thought was that the building had been struck, and a panic was narrow- ly averted. Thanks, however, to the presence of mind of the pastor and others the more nervous ones were reassured, and in a few minutes the service was being gone on with ap- parently as though nothing unusual had happened, except that an oil lamp: had taken the place of the electric lights. Despite the exciting occur- rence, Mr. Watch delivered amost able discourse. He has been an inde- fatigable worker since assuming the pastorate of this church four years ago. and we trust that he will not celebrate his first Sunday in his new char at Huntsville with quite so muc vigor as his farewell service here had to its credit. Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Watch leave for Huntsville to-day (Thursday).â€"Shelburne Econ- omist. bo ordered oround. sad the sooner the pothmutor goes to join the dodo in oblivion the better for all bondsâ€" Sunday last was the last Sunday of Rev. C. W. Watch’s pastorate in Shel- burne Methodist Church, and that gentleman preached his farewell ser- mon Sunday evening. It was the most exciting farewell service ever held in Shelburne church. There was no service in either Anglican or Presbyterian churches that evening, and as a consequence. despite the ex- tremely threatening appearance of the weather. a large congregation assembled, chairs being placed in the aisles. After the singing of a hymn, followed by prayer, Mr. J. N. Tribble sang a solo to an accompniment of lightning and thunder that was most disconcerting. Rev. Mr. Clark (who had preached in the Presbyterian church in the morning) was in the midst of reading the scripture lesson when there was a blinding flash fol. lowed instantaneously by a deafening crash of thunder that shock the build- and the roads!

Mr. Robert Edge he: added much to the appeennce end comfort of his house by putting in a gothic end erecting a handsome verandeh. The old barn on Wm. McCrackan’s farm has been straightened up lovol again. Will Wright had the contract. Mr. Donald McFaydon has also jack- ed up his old barn and intends build- ing a stone wall under it. Miss Sarah Brown was so unfortu- nate as to break her arm on Thurs- day at the Holstein picnic through the breaking of a swing rope. We are pleased to see her able to go around and enjoy herself again al- though it will be a few weeks before she can resume work. A public examination was held in our school on Friday to show how the little ones were progressing with their studies. They acquitted them. selves very nicely in the presence of the School Board anda number of other visitors. Miss Amy Edge has resigned her position us teacher in the Rocky School where she has taught for the past two end s hslf yesrs. On leav- ing the school her pupils presented her with s fsnoy toilet csse es s mark of their esteem for her. After holi- days Miss Edge will go to Owen Sound in order to pursue her studies and better qualify herself for her profession. Our picnic on Thursday was one of the best ever held in this place. The new grounds are most suitable for the purpose and the day was all that could be desired. The tea and eat- ables maintained the good reputation our ladies have long enjoyed of being the best and most generous cooks in the country. The programme was short but elevating and the following were the entertainers: Chairman, “’m. Allan ; Speeches were made by Rev. Mr. Bice and County Commis sioner Allan ; recitations were given by Mabel Mead. Aggie Marshall, Sara Allan.

The abilities of the Chronicle’s Men- agerie is beginning to be appreciated by the legislative councils of our fair Dominion.

We were elevated by the Egremont Council to the same eminent position and will also go as far as to say that good work and lots of it was done, but we wouldn’t swear to it or sign an aflidavit to that efiect same as he did in his last week’s news. To go so far in a case of roadwork is acting down right reckless. Mr. Wm. Allan. Superintendent of our S. 8., attended the International Sunday School Convention held in Toronto last week and thought it surpassed anything he had ever at- tended. and certainly the collection of $66.000 in a few minutes time must have been surprising to Presbyterians who have seen church funds raised cent by cent. Mr. Allan seems much inspired by his visit. Mr. Joe. Tucker is engaged putting in posts for a wire fence which will add much to the nppzvrance of his farm which is now one of the best in the township and it will be quite in keeping with his fine house and barn.

The happy couple left for e visit in Toronto next morning taking with them the best wishes of their many friends.
