The interest in the book in addition to its own intrinsic merit will be greatly heightened when it is known that the author is Mrs. Chas. Moffat, Edge Hill. whose husband has been long a figure in the public life of South Grey. Mrs. Moffat, like Geo. Elliott and other lady guthors writes over a masculine pen oame--Rohert Kaye Greviue---and in this guise has received warm words of praise from the leading Scottish pa- pers. where of course. the book is of most interest.

The. audience though not large appreciated very much the lecture given by Inspector Campbell. His language was choice and his de. scription such as brought forcibly to the mind's eye the differentpomts of interest in London the wot Ws meteopolis of spec- inl interest to Methodist was the effect- ive reference to the home of the lVestleys and their last resting place. The Ep- worth League are under obligation to Mr Campbell for his instructive and inter- taing address. It is a well-established principle of law that in crossing sum-ts or highways the [WHOM on foot has the right of way Ihjvetsand bicycle riders should always hour this in mind. It is law, and if you injun- n pedestrian hy careless driving or riding you are responsible for it. A person is not required by law to run tV crnss the street to keep out of the Way of vehicles. The drivers and riders are the (mos to look out for a clear track. 'iotue people in Durham might with advantage paste this on theirdash boards or tie it to their handlebars. \Vi-mmso HELLS.--A happy event took place at the R. C. Church here on Monday morning, when Rev. Father Hauck united in marriage Mr. Edward Walsh to Miss Jennie Morrison. The groom was assisted by Mr. John Burns, of Aberdeen, and the bride had for maid of honor her cousin, Miss Annie Troy, of Egremont. The bride was neatly attired in blue trimmed with white satin and bead trimming, and the bridesmaid was also attractively attired in white and pink. The usual congratulations over a most sumptuous dinner provided at the Central Hotel was partaken of, after which all re- turned to Mr. Samuel Morruon's, the bride's home, where a sociable time was spent. THE 'REVIEW wishes the young couple much happiness through life. “Uh!" said George with evident relief and he proceeded to brush the future Ituttet'fly away. Tire.

It seemed to us that an unnecessary amount of distrust is being exhibited on both sides. All want the work to go on. Sulely no one wants any under. hand advantage. However we wani ho 2nd Edition of the famous roller bill by-law which has cost the town so much. Only Mr, Crawford met with the Uouncii's committee whiclr at this writing, (Tuesday afternoon) seems a. want cf courtesy to the council and has the appearance of an unwillingness to proceed togetheriwhich is unfortunate to say the least. The question of the 3rd vending of the Bylaws then mum: up, and on umtion of Cotm. Gorshne that they he read a 25rd time, the Mayor pointed out, that in the interests of the town. before pru- weding to this step, more were, certain preliminaries to be attended to. "glee-- ments, to sign etc. The directors present were asked to speak, and Mr. Crawford and Mr. Laid- law took advantage of it, both taking the view that the third reading should go on with such an endorsement from the town, Mr. Laidlaw guaranteeing the Co, would refund the $500 paid for the lot it the hy-law by any hitch proved a failure. The Mayor still held out for the agreement and asked for a con" mittee to meet with the Directors at 10 a. In. Tuesday to complete the arrange- ments legally. and so safeguard the town. The clerk then gave the vote for and against, but was unable, ot'ttot prepared to give the total vote so as tn he sure of the necessary two-thirds. No one at. the table could do it tor sure, and the Mayor suggested n delay of one day to secure the necessary declarations. Coun. (iorslino at this grew hotly iu- digmmt, charging the Mayor with blocking the by-lmv, being stubborn, no gentleman, etc. The Mayor replied in kind, called Mr. G. to order and for a time there was a "plentiful Lack" of the decorum which should mark a. council table. Mr. Gorsline in his warmth made what we considered an uncalled for attack on Clerk Russell, A motion by Mr, G. that n check of $500 he issued to buy the factory lot the mayor ruled out of order at the present stage, "No sir, not one of them has ever burst," the order was again placed with Mr. Phair.
