METHODIST CHURCH Norss.â€"Evan~ L'Ollst Hill is a powerful preacher, a very patient exhortcr, and sings the gospel of God’s love right to the hearts of his hearers. The meetings are well attend- ed. and quiet, thoughtful and earnest work for eternity is the object. and not the making of sectarians. All are wel- come. Next week may be Mr. Hill's last week. Let all come and welcome. The subject on Sabbath evening will be “ The Story of My Conversion." GOOD ROADSâ€"We direct the atten- tion of our readers, especially farmers, to the report. on page 8 of the deputa- tion ofth‘e Victoria county council to the Good Roads convention held at T0- ronto in December last, and we hope it will be. acted upon. as our leading roads are anything but what they ought to be. G 0d roads are costly, we know; but the money spent upon them is well in- vested and pays big interest in the sav- ing of wear and tear of horses, vehicles end harness, to say nothing of comfort and convenience in travelling. CURLING.â€"Two rinks of Lindsay curlers came to the Falls and played a friendly game with a local eight.“ After a close game of 16 ends the home team pulled out three shots up.

Tuesday was the coldest day, but it was calm, and not so hard on people out of doors as Monday, when a keen wind was . blowing, making it necessary to be thoughtful of the condition of one’s nose and cars. We have noticed for years that thereis almost invariably an in- tensely cold snap at the end of Februâ€" ary, which appears to~be the “ last dying kick ” of winter. after which the wea- ther gradually grows milder, as we hope it will do from this out. Moonv's REMARKABLE Liraâ€"We have received a book of much impor- trnce at the present time from the Poole Publishing Company, Toronto, “ The life of D. L. Moody.” The book is at- tractive, and is well printed on good white paper. Thirty-three illustrations embellish its pages, covering the out- standing‘ features in Mr. Moody’s career, home life and religious experience. Its circulation will probably be very-large, as Mr. Moody had a powerful influence in Canada, was known here quite as well as across the line. and his was a potent name in thousands of Christian households. The book is published at 2?) cents in heavy paper cover. or 50 ‘ cents bound in cloth, is for sale at all bookstores, or will be sent postpaid by the publishers on receipt of price. Ev- erybody will want to read the story of the life work of this remarkabie man. l’aRaI.YZED.-â€" Last TueSday fore- noon Mr. Nathan Day, of Lakcview farm, Fenclon, sent a lad to the Falls, ' a distance of about four miles, with three-quarters of a cord of pine wood to be delivered at the chemical Works. A great deal of snow having fallen, the chief object in sending the sleigh to town was to break the road, and the load was a mere nothing to the team of large handsome grade Percheron mares that drew it. While crossing the iron bridge over the falls, the driver noticed that the ninth more was sick, but thought she would be able to go as far as the chemical works, in which he was mis- taken. for she gave not entirely when. opposite Mr. Lansfieltl’s house on Bond street. Unhitching the train, the driver started with them for the House stable; but oppI-site Dr. Gra- ham’s, on Francis street, the sick animal fell and was unable to rise again. though she made several attempts to do so. A knot of personsâ€"horse. experts and othersâ€" soon gathered, and, after acou- sultation, the equine patient was put on to a sleigh, drawn to Mr. Aldous’s stable and transferred to a box stall, where Dr. Mason is attending her. She is eight years old, three quarters Perch- eron and weighs about 1,600 pounds. lllr. Dav says that he was offered $275 for hot: and her mate, which, being only half Percheron, is far the less valuable of thetwo.
