DON‘T FORGET that we pay highest Cash prices for Wool Eggs and Tub Butter at A. 8. Hunter‘s At a meeting of the Session of Dur. ham Presbyterian Church held on Friâ€" day last, the resignation of Dr. Gun as teacher of the bible class was accepted and a resolution put in the minutes expressing the sense of the worth of his services in that important work. For upwards of thirty years he has had charge of the class and has been most enthusiastic in his interest in the young people. â€"In these days of eager restlessâ€" ness it has been the privilege of only the few to maintain the interest during as Jong & period. For the present Rev. W. Farqubharson will take the charge of the work as he has done during the past few weeks. Rev, Mr. Farqubarson is in Ottawa this week attending the meeting of the General Assembly, The Presbyterian pulpit will be yacant in the morning of next Lord‘s day. The important subâ€" jects io be brought before the Assembly in addition to the great Mission Reports will be the Century Fund and the quesâ€" tion as to whether an Elder is eligible to act as Moderator of Presbytery. Schemes will also have to be deyised to overtake the additional work thrown A fine Ready Made Suit for $5,00 at McKechme‘s, on the church, by the great increase of population in Northern Ontario and the North West, as well as in other new parts of the Dommion. The great deâ€" imand for ministers is making a shorâ€" tage in the supply for congregations in Ontario so that vacant charges have to wait sometimes a year and even more before their pulpit is filled, Besides that, the field in the States is proving attractive to many of our men who have found good charges there. Local and District News Items. Mr. J. N. Grieve, Sault Ste Marie, Mich., came to town last Saturday and has been a guest at Mr. and Mrs. S. Arrowsmuth‘s since, If we say he comes as a robber we ask our readers to form no hasty conclusions while we explain the contemplated theft which is to be consammated â€"toâ€"day, Wednesday, in the presence of a clergyman and conâ€" senting friends. There, you know it all now. Mr. Grieve became acquainted with Miss Arrowsmith in Michigan, and now comes to charge acquaintanceâ€" ship into the more ripened connection af matrimonial union. Thus tolose one of matrimonial union. â€" Thus to lose one . of Darham‘s fairest damsels is not matâ€" | ter of regret howeyver. as Mr. Grmevye is t a good Canadian working for Canada under the Dominion Government as em igration Agent in Michigan.

VoLUNTEERsS orr!â€"Captain Snider with a very much reduced company, left for Niagara on Tuesday morning. The order for vaceination almost at the eleventh hour, was the chief reason <f the failure to get a full company, Some have just got it done and the chances are that the bospital staff will be kept more than busy with yaccination paâ€" tients. The company have been supâ€" plied with the new Leeâ€"Enfiecla rifles, and the Oliver equipment, this last being a well devised plan for the loading of the soldier in such a way that the weight of kit and outfit is well distribâ€" uted over the body while on march. . Toroxto Ttu® Tracicatr.â€"Such a title | would well befit Toronto last week. 1 The Aurora bank burglars, Jones, Rice Rutledge were on trial, and while on | their way home from court to jail in a | hack in charge of three policemen, only one of them armed, a confederate, still at large, fiung a hat box into the hack containing _ two _ revolvers. These | prisoners were handâ€"cuffed together ; but the two outside ones had each a free hand, and as the free left hand belonged | to a leftâ€"handed man, they quickly grasped the revolvers and turned on their keepers. â€" Constable Boyd refusing to throw up his hand was shot dead as he grappled. Stewart, the other conâ€" stable inside, with presence of mind flung his hands up and told them to get out waich they did. Still handâ€" cuffed they boarded a street car and struggled with the motorâ€"man for possession Stewart before this having got in good work behind. Other help arrived and they were hammered into ; submission, all badly bruised and Jones, ‘the centre man fatally wounded by \Stewart, _ Next day â€" they _ were \ sentenced to 21 yeats for bank robbery, \ but death released Jones. Stewart‘s ‘evidence made it plain a charge of murder would follow, and Rutledge, on | the way to dinner in jail, rushed from his guards up a stairway and flung himâ€" self 30 feet, headforemost, on a grating below. This ended him and now only Rice is left to answer for the death of one ‘innocent man shot in the discharge of duty. Rutiedge was anatiye of Streetsâ€" .ville and as a boy. was cleyer and not |likely to be criminal. After his first fall, however, his career went rapidly downward, and associations with other {srnoners in the States led him from bad to worse. _ The fight against | society and law can have only one endâ€" | ing, proving the truth of|the good hook‘s | dictum "the way of the transgressor is | hard.
