An event of importance in Presbyâ€" terian circles was the opening services on Sanday of the renovated church, when Rev. Prof. Ballantyne of Kuox College, kindly lent his services to preach two sermons on the oceasion, A summary of the improvements unâ€" dertaken is in order. First, after vears of _ discussion, _ large and commedious sheds were built on church property behind the chureh, cost about $400. Anextension of 15 feet was made to the church and in addition a roomy octagon tor the choir. Contract price of this was $2100, which will be increased by seyeral extras. The frescoing of the walls which betore had a dim and depressing appearance eost about $170 more while the new seating costs $875, this latter itein beâ€" ing entirely taken in hand by auxiliary societies of the church. The great bulk of this expenditure is already provided for and the conâ€" gregation enters hopefually on the task before it of liquidating the few hundâ€" reds necessary to have their fine buildâ€" }ng and commodious sheds paid for in ull. Many have been the expressions of pleasure at the chaste and elegant apâ€" pearance of the interior. ‘The fine ceilâ€" ing, where before there was none, the blended colors, the designing, Si[(l)](i)le but effective, the new seats, modern and comfortable, all lending a new hbalo which will not make the | worship of God one whit less sincere.| The heavy rain about an hour beâ€"| fore church time on both occasions| certainly deterred many worshipers| yet practically ever y seat was filled] morniug and evening. Quite a| sprinkling trom other churches wercl there in the evening and no doubt but for the anniyversary services of the| Methodist body on the same day which | were unayoidable, more would havei been present _ The loose collections for the day amounted to about $116 and contribution ot all kinds wonldl foot up nearly $500. & S Unfavorable Weather but Large Congregations Prof, Ballantyne spoke in the morning from 1 Cor. 3, 11. _ ‘"‘Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

Ballantyne is a man of flne| presence, has an admirable voice, and | is a fine reader and speaker. | Never we may safely say in this secâ€"| tion of the Province has there been such a loes by fire as that of last Thursday evening when the great Knechtel Furâ€" niture Factory in Hanoyer was com. pletely destroyed by fire. The despatch which follows gives the main facts of the disaster, though the loss and sufferâ€" ing it entails on the workmen thrown out of employment and the families dependent upon them, can not so easily Lbe set down. ' The blaze was seen 15 miles off we have been assured, and the reflection on sky was visible for a great distance, Quite a number droye over from Durâ€" ham to witness the conflagration, and apart from its horror, it was an imâ€" pressive spectacle. 1 HANOVER ROLOGAUST.

It might have saved its cost several times over. Following is the despatch : "This town was visited by a disastrous fire yesterday afternoon. It originated about 4.30 o‘clock, in the Knechtel furâ€" niture factory, one of the largest in the Dominion. There was practically .no fire protection system in the town. Aid was sumgmoned from Walkertcn, Palâ€" merston, Neustadt, and Chesley, The first brigade arrived in the course of an hour or so, but the factory was burned to the ground. It covered about two acres of land, and not a wall is left standiag. About ten million feet of lumber in the yard and the sawmill were saved. The loss was about $120.â€" 000. and the insurance $80,000. Both Mr. Daniel Knechtel, head of the firm and Mr. J. 8. Knechtel, secretary and treasurer, were in Toronto at the time. The fire spread to adjoining buildings and the following places were comâ€" pletely consumed. The Gruetzner Furniture Company and undertaking establishment, T. Poehlman & Company, flour and feed B, F. Ahrens, hardware. | Graff & Weppler, general dry goods. 1 W. KRoloff. photographer. ‘ H. Maurer, blacksmith and carriage works. Oharles Doepel, flour and feed, The total loss in the town is about a quarter of a million dellars. The situaâ€" tion is a serious one. as the Knechte] factory, employing 250 hands, was the mainstay of Hanover, whichhas a popuâ€" lation of about 2,200.
