Ed. always wants to have the been there is to be had. Some of our young ladies are al- ready getting their hands in trim to do needle work for the fall shows and further extend their honors. A sam- ple of their work reminds us that the Editor of the Chronicle recently wrote an article on women keeping men do- ing penance all their days who had to travel in the socks they darned was alluding to Durham girls or other town ladies. Mr. Dave Chapman returned Mon day morning to the mining industry in Nevada. He likes the excitement that goldfinding afiords and declares that he has seen the population of a town increase ten thousand in six months on the report of a lucky find. Mr. Archie Baird moved his family to Holstein last. week. He has been a lifelong resident of the Corners and was always an obliging citizen. The old maxim that “He who in this worid would thrive. must both hold the plough and drive,” has been set aside by Wm. Johnston as we notice he has hired Mr. S. Hillis to drive for him this spring. While some of our young men ore being tempted from farm life by the report of short hours and big wages others who have tried the experiment are engaging on farms again this summer, believing it is the best plsee to save money. News is very scarce this week. and we can’t even make an itom of the weather or fall wheat as there is no telling what either is going to do and those who contemplate matri- mony have given us some pointers to keep quiet for a week or two yet There was no service in the school on Sunday last owing to the funeral of Mrs. (Dr.) Leeson, the Rev.

But if a large city be in the path of these rolling earth-waves, then ruin, annihilation and weird horror follow in their wake.

And in a few short minutes the busy city. throbbing and pulsating with life, in the midst of its joys and sorrows, its happiness and gladness and its heartaches and cares, is but acity of the dead, doom- ed. engulphed in ruin. Ah ! and how would those who had fatuously forgotten their Creator feel as they realized. while being precipitated downwards and yet downwards midst the ruin of their shattered mansions. that in a few moments they must face the offended Deity But on the other hand those who had served and obeyed Him, and who knew their sins were com- pletely attoned for by their Redeem- er’s snfl'enngs. could feel no fear.
