Thom the “seemed pastor of Chalmers church has inti~ mated to his session here that he purposes giving up his charge in a few months time. The intimation came as a great surprise to the con- gregation in which Mr. Thom has successfully labored the past ten years. Under his ministry the church has prospered and his removal as well as that of his esteemed wife. who is much beloved in the congrega- tion will be much felt in the church and community.

Dr. Henderson presided at the meeting of the League in Massey Hall on gSunday afternoon last when over two hundred young men and women signed the pledge. Mrs. Owen Hitchcock was the speaker for the occasion and severely scored the unfair three-fifths clause in the Hang: ah bill. We sincerely sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Graham near Eugenia, who on Wednesday of last week met with great bereavement by the death of their second daughter Lillian, aged 33°years. Miss Graham was in San Francisco at the time of the earth- quake and fire and received a nervous shock from which she never recover- ed.

It is with some trepidation that your classic city scribe joins the ranks of the correspondents of the Durham Chronicle. We know we are up against a dimcult proposition. namely to contribute items of interest from a distant point, but we trust that the readers of the Chronicle will bear with us if at times our budgets are some- what prosy. We promise to do our best, however, and if we cannot make it go we will simply have to drop out. For some it has been the custom of the Central Methodist S. S. to hold an entertainment, at which all the classes made a contribution for the poor. This year the S. S. decided to make their annual offering later in the sea- son as considerable quantities of food and clothing had been distributed at Xmas by other societies. Last Friday evening was the date selected, and a big crowd of boys and girls gathered in the lecture room of the church eager to present their gifts. The first class‘ called on by the Superintendent wasl the little tots, who marched in headed ‘ by a proud little chap bearing a flag. Every membe1 had some suitable toy ranging from a ten cent whistle to a street car, which they gravely and probably in some cases somewhat re- gretfully laid 011 the platform and then retired. Then class after class filed in, each carrying some appropriate gift including large bags of potatoes, bread, candies, apples, oranges, cereals, soap. towels, underelothing, pillow cases, blankets, cheese, fresh eggs, and other useful articles. The classes vied with each other in their method of presen- tation, thus relieving the program of any monotony. As an example, a class of bovs, who gave salmon, were dressed up like fishermen and sang an appropI iate song after presenting their offei mg When the entertainment was over the plathIm looked li e the counter of a general store after a busy day. It is needless to add the commit- tie ha goods. The result of our muniCIpal elections was somewhat of a surprise to many. Only four of the old council retained their seats out of ten. Some of the ratepayers fancied that some of the alderman were beginning to think that they owned the town, hence it was de- cided to leave them at home this year. Five by-laws were voted on but all were badly defeated but one viz., The Niagara Electric Power By-law, which was carried by an overwhelming ma- jority. The people want cheap power and low taxes. A peculiar accident happened yester- day (Thursday) by which one of our most respected citizens was fatally in- jured. He was steadying a ladder while a companion was sawing a large limb offa tree. When the limb fell it struck the telephone wires which caus- ed to swing around in such a manner as to strike the unfortunate man on the back of the head, thus causing his death. We were more than pleased to note the prosperity of the Cement Mill. The handsome dividend that is to be paid this month is surely an evidence that the mill is the right kind of an industry in the right place. The Open- lng up of the C. P. B. through Durham will facilitate materially the shipment l of the products of the mill and probab- 1y add to the dividends in the future. We fancy the Editor of the Chronicle deserves a little credit for the brave fight he put up for the relention of such an important establishment.
