He was speciaUy pleased with such a reunion of members of a congregation 1M the present, and hop- ed it would prove beneficial to the Church. Eev. Mr. McLeod, Minister of the congregation, was then called ou, and referred to tho eonditioo of things years agi, and to his pastorate of some three or four years. He did not know exactly whether it was Lis Lartuue or misfortune to have suceeded two such men as Bov. Charles Cameron aud Rev. Donald Fraser Ministers who were both able and zealous, aud also deservedly popular in tho towuships of Artemcsia, Proton aud Glenelg, to the utmost bounds of which thair la- boars extecded iu those days of mea- gre miuistorial supply. Mr. McLeod said Ou coming here, a perfect stranger, he was agreeably surprised witu the kindness received thoo and since. Cjnsiaeriug the reports he had previously heard of tho turbu- lance said to have been manifested. â€" Ho had been well supported by the Eldershipâ€" a body of men with whom he was glad to say he could always cordially aud agreeably co-opTHte. In reganl to this meeting, ho was gra tified to see so many presont. This was a first attempt to estdb!ih an an- nual Hocial reunion of mambors if tho congregation the object not being to raise money by making a charge for admission, but simply to have a year- ly inendly meeting where money would not be c.iUcd for, but where the members could enjoy themselves iu a friendly way, and have a talk about the affairs of the Church geneially. Various members of the CongrcgHtiou subsequently addi^ssed the meeting, and after a yote of thanks to the Chairman, th? bi)nedictiou was pro- nounced by Mr. McLood. LIFE OF GARFIELD. PRICEVILLE. From a Correspondeut. The Presbyterian Church here, after an epoch of struggle and strife, is gradually em rging ou dry land. â€" Priceville is one of those places where, previous to the late union, the people were devided into speparate sections â€" the one deli[,htiiig to be denominated "Auld Kirk " the other "Free Kirk." Sometime previous to the general union of the Church, the Ministers of the two congregations hers bad re- signed their chargps and gone to oth er fields of labor, the idea being, that there was no chance of union under either ol the Pastors, although both were gifted men and much liked by their respective congregations. The result, for a time was chaos. Some- thing like unioD, howeyer, was at last brought about three years ago last summer.and Rev. Donald McLeod.from P. E. Island, was called and settled as Minister of the united congregation. Mr. McLeod, although not a strong man, physically, has proved himself a worker who needeth not to be asham- ed, and under his ministrations the union of the once speparated people is being surely, if slowly, cemented. In all snch cases the process of cohesion must, of cecossity, be slow, and by hastening slowly, the desired end is invariably all the sooner accom- plished. Last winter a Yoang Men's Association was formed, under tbn guidance of some of the older mem- bers of the Church, and something was done in the way of having a se- rieaofpablio leetoros. This winter we are are glad to see that the yoang men are disposed to take the initia- tive ttienuelves, and carry out the programme of spiritual and literary developmMit It is to be hoped they will {wrsevere, and fiad theit reward in an ever wileninr msbtal raaee, aud an increasing vigor imparted to the general work of tlie omigrega- In aeeonUnee with a leeola^n enma (o at the last aonoal bnxincss of the Uhacch, a frae Social •f (Ouelph Dr..ly Herald, Dec. 8, 1881.)

WM. BBOWN, Scc-Trens. Markdale, Doc. 20, 183?. CTlioK.* MILLIONS IN IT. J. D. Alexander, editor .Wir*, Bran- esyille Ga U. S, A., says •Ft the piist twelve mouths I have hocii bUi- fei'ing with intlummatory iheumatism I tried several piiysiciaiia but they faileu to relieve mo. A friend iccom- m'judcd St. .Jacob's Oil.

It relieved lua at once when I am 8tiffcriut;t!rrib'a paiu aud prevents mJ from spending lutuy sleoples nights. Notliiutf has dMue me so much good." MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. In Glenelg matters are quick. Mr. Johu Black as aunouuced him self a candidate for councillor, as will be seen by ouradvertisiug|column.4,and will, no doubt, bt:iiid a good clmuce ol being electeil. We have heard of no oppisitiou to tho lieeve. Thos. Mullarky is talked of au a candiaoe tor councillor. In Artemesia, things are compari- tively quiet. It is rnuiered that Mr. Geo. Dodds will be a candidate for lieove The old couucil will, no doubt, all seek re-eldction. In Osprey.lhe^e will bo livelytimes as opposition is Uko'y tobe bad for the office of Beeve.and tlso Deputy B^^eve. The man who recieves tiie largest number of votes will be elected assur- euly. In Holland, we hear of no opposit ion to the ileeve. Mr. Howey.aud very likely little or no change will be made iu the old council. Euphrasia is lik«ly to have two or three Beeves the coming year, or, rather, the Beeveship will be sougut bv that mauy. We think, however, that the present one, Mr. Myles, will be re-elected. Proton will have a change, as the present Beevc, J. J, Middletou, Esq., intends stepping down aud out. Mr. Peter McGregor is a candidate for the office. He is well known iu the Town ship, and will likely be klected. Mr. Abbott, it 18 said, will have opposition for the Deupty Beeveship, we think, however, Mr. A. will be elected.
