A hurricatio from the cast on Mon.lay of thi» week, accunipanied by a blinlina snowstcrin succedeU in comiilotely tying the up railway systems of this part of Ontario." No mails h^ve been received here since Monday and our stock of paper for this week has nut reached es.

A Methodist Church for Ceylon A Urge and representative meeting of the official board of tho Flesherton cir- cuit was held in the Methodist church on Thuroday afternoon last. The proposi- tion emanating from the Dundalk board to drop Ceylon, attach Inistioge to Flesh- erton and transfer Meaford Road to Eu- phrasia circuit was thoroughly discusseil. The unanimous feeling on the part of the board is that Ceylon id too important an appointment to be dropped and as the Meafortl Poad congre- gation is unitedly opposed to any change that would sever their connection with Flesherton, there w^is no disposition to entertain the proposition. The Ceylon representatives expressed the willingness of that cimgrejjation to procetd at once with the buildini! of a church, and this met with the hearty and unanimous ap- proval of the board. A committee was accordingly appointed to seoure a site and prepare estimates and a.s soon as these preliiniDaries are completed the work of buildini; will be prosecuted with viu'ir. There is a general feeling, however, thac the present arrangement is not entirely satisfactory, iuasmuchas Ceylon only re- ceives preaching every two weeks, and it is difScult to Hud local supply for the other appointments even that often. \ re.sidutioii was unanimously adopted sug- yestim; that if Kimherley and Mount Zion can be otherwise provided f.n-, Flesherton be made a double cir(;uit,add- ing Eiiijeiiia anrl Tnistioge to the present field and a.skiiti; confert-nce for an ad- ditional ininiuter. This would give each appoinlinent regular preaching every SUiiday. Unless sonio such arraiiyeinent as this can be niadu, tho board is unan- imous in their desire to have no change made in existing circuit boundaries. Shoemaker's kit for sale yheap, â€" W.
