The weather on CUristmas day was «U that could b« desired, bat tfa* alaigb- ing was very thin, the roads being entirely bar« in many placet, which kept a great many at a diBtaaca Irom attending the great Methoiliit tea- meeting in connea|u}n with the open- ing of tha church. The basement of th« church is a grand affair in itself, being the full size of the church, «leven feei eleac ta the ceiling eight large windowsâ€" four on each side â€" ^besides two small ones at each and two l«u:g« class-rooms at one «nd, and kitcben and pantry at the «ther. There is seating room at •tables for nearly 160, leaving abund- ance of space for numerous waiters to «ttend the tnbles. The two furnaees heat the basement ai well as the whole of the church above at the same time. When the tables are cleared away the basement will seat about five hundred. There was an abundance ol the very best of provisions, and the waiters did their part admirably, every man. wo- man and child being served tu perfec- â- tion. By half-past seen, over five 'hundred were fed and the program was entered upon sharp on time in the auditorium. Here everything in con- nection with this grand edifice glisten- ed with harmony and beauty, the various speakers, one after another, arriving at one conclusion, viz., that it was the most beautiful, complete and faultless church for the size they had ever seen. This was saying a gceat deal, as many of them are men of more than ordinary extensive ex- perience. V The following is what the Flesher- ten Advance sajs about this church '"For magnificence and completeness -of finish there is no church North of Toronto to compare to this. The contractor, Mr. Richards, has carried out his work m the mest complete and satisfactory manner. The self- sup- porting roof work is the finest piece of work of the kind we have ever seen, and forms the principal tource of at traction in the interior ot this singular- ly beautiful and imposing edifice. The plastering, stusoo work, painting, windows, lamps and everything else inside the edifice show exquisite taste and superior workmanship." Mr. Richards is truly a master build- er, and has m this structure far super- seded the most sanguine expectations of the building committee. The cast iron work was all done by Moffat Bro's of this village, and reflects the highest credit on their taste and worknaanchip. The painting also does credit to R. 0. Whitby, our resident esteem »d young friend. In fact there is nothing to be seen about it that does not reflect the highest credit, first to the architect, M. B. Aylswortb, Esq., of Toronto, and afterwards to the contractor and those employed by bim furthermore, the harmony that prevailed throughout amongst the building committee, as well as with the congregation and ex- tending to builder and designer waa something remarkable in sueb an ex- tensive vnderlaking. The chair waa honored by M. Richardson, Esq., of FlesUerton, who discharged his duties in his usual pleasing and appreciative manner. The vpeakers were Revs. Howell, of Owen Sound Savage, ef Aurera; Ayers, «f Flesberton; Grandy, of Markdale Casson, the pastor, and Dr. Freeman, of Milton. The music from the choir was one of the leading features of the entertainment. Mark- dale Methodist choir have an enviable reputation, but on this occasion espe- cially, all lovers of fine music were delighted. Mr. Bowes, the leader, cannot get too much praise for his arduous duties and wonderful success in this particular direction. Prof. James gave two solos during the «vening which was simply grand. His voice is not surpassed in the Province, and then by constant practice (being a music teacher) there is real harmony in his renderings. Altc^ether this vrasagraud snccess in every particular, far surpassing anything attempted in the past. About 600 were m attend- ance, and the proceeds from tickets amounted to $142.28 besides a snb- .scription of $508. SBCOMB 8CMDAT. The opening services were continued on Sunday, the 27th, when Rev. Dr. griffin, of Guelph, preached two •lequent sermons, at 10:80 and 7 o'etoek, and Rev. Mr. Howell, of Owen Sound, gare a stirrint; sermon at 2:80. ing services which -mil be long re- membered, and looked bade to with pleasure in years to eome.

OLENBLG. In this township the nomination was held at the town hall, and waa the largest and most re^tectable attendance we have yet seen on such an occasion. The old council gave an account of their stewaidship very satis- factorily. Mr. Davis, the reeve, withdrew from municipal life and Mr. Charles Moffatt and Mr. J. A. Mc- Millan are the candidates for that position, while Messrs. "Brown of Markdale, Dunsmore, and MeCuaig are in the field for deputy-reeve with about equal chances for success, while the following seven candidates seek election for councillor i-^-John Black, Geo. Binnie, Geo. Lamb, Patrick Neil, Edward Rutledge, Thos. Sulliyan and Christopher Williams. The above John Black is not the clerk, as some might suppose. This part of the township having been without a representative for some years is now placed in the enviable position of haying the balance of power, and if judiciously used, can elect a majurity of the council for 1886. lUBSnALS POUCK. The nomination of police trustees was held on Monday when the follow- ing were nominated and are the candidates for the fathership of the city, viz Wm. Lucas,. B. Davis, Wm. Douglas, T. Mathews, Geo. Steer, Geo. Haskett and S. J. Coleman. ARTEMESU. Dr. Christoe the present reeve, and A. Elliott, are the candidates ler reeve, and a hot cbntesli is likely to ensue. The Dr. is a strong man, yet when the leading men of Flesberton are opposing him it will likely go hard with him. For councillors, J. Mc^ Arthur is elected by acclamation for Priceville ward and John Boland for Markdale ward, while W. G. Pickell and Geo. Moore are the candidates for Flesberton ward, and VV. T. McKee and S. Pedlar for Eugenia. XDPHBXBIA. Euphrasia nomination was not as boisterous as usual. Contrary to the expectations of the people, Mr. Myles has come out aa a candidate for the reeveihip. Mr. Gilray will doubtless, however, be re-elected, and we think should be by all means. Shepherdson and Fawcett are hard at it for the second seat, and though the contest will be hot and heavy, Shepherdson will more than likely be elected. Jas. Boyd, J. Erskine, H. Hurd and Wallace Patton, are the candidates for councillors, the latter is expected to withdraw. HOLLAND. Mr. Cameron was elected by acclamation. Messrs. Shute and Norton are the candidates for deputy- reeve, and Messrs. Howey, Galbraith, Williscroft, John Murray and Wm. Hampton for councillors. OSPSXT NOinNATIOMS. Reeve, T. Gamey, A.

Sbeiods Accid«nt. â€" Mr. Adam Hie lop, while workmg with a threshing machine, met wish a very serious ac- cident. It seems that while m the act of removing some straw from the cyl- inder his band got caught and was badly mangled. He is at present do- ing well, but will never have the same use of his hand. The most of tho long and heavy lumber required to build the Markdale roller skating rink has been supplied from the Eclipse saw-mill, now under the superintendence of Mr. J, Warling. Mr. Samuel Gilbert is back home again. The late thaw has made business dull. Another supply of the beautiful would be very acceptable. TOBwero iiiwap^lBS sTBueouHO In this year oi graof iheare is no keener comepition than that between oitv newspapers. An exampb of ih« bitter fight for enpremacy is afforded by the extraordinary oft* made by Thb Tobomtq Nkwsâ€" the Demooratw daily and weekly published by Ed- mond E. Sheppard. H* offers hw Wbkltâ€" and it 18 doubtless the most amusing and independent weekly in Canadaâ€" for one year for a dollar, and gives to each indiyidnal sabscrib- er a dollar's worth of books wk» as a premium. There are 31 books to. Qhoose from, and with the hst before us we are puzzled to know how it can be done, at the prices quoted are l^he lowest published rates for the books adyertised. In Th» Niws office over a hsndred thousand oi these books are stored, and twenty-five thoaeand have already been disturbed. Titke combination offer made by Tmt N»wsâ€" three months et its Daily ($4 per annum) from the present date to April 1st, 1886â€" and nine months of the Weekly, i. e., from April 1st to December 31st, '86, for $1.75,. and a dollar and seventy-five cents' worth of books as a premiam is still more surprising, and is the finest offer ever made by a metropolitan publication to rural readers. The three months of the Dailt will include daily reports of the sessions of the Local and Dominion parliaments, and owing to the French Canadian crisis the coming session will be of the most thrilling interest of any since Confederation. More than this, farmers will find it to their advantage to take a daily paper in the winter months when the family have plenty of leisure to read and when the daily cattle and grain market reports are of much ' value to those having produce to sell. Those taking Thx Daily Toronto News will get a four page paper five days out of the week and an eight page paper on Saturday. The Satur- day number contains the political cartoon and the page of funny pictures, j)ke8, stories and sketches, which are such popular features of the Wbkklt, together with Talmage's eermon the serial story and the column oi farm humor from the farmin' editor, which also appears in the Webklt. Every- body knows what the Webklt is. â€" It has a circulation of 25,000 and is the only paper in Canada which doesn't publish advertisements. The political conduct of The Nbws is Democratic. Many things appear in its editorial columns with which we may not agree, but its independence of tone, and fearless discussion of Canada's present and future must do good by exciting the electors to the enquiry "Whether are we drifting " We have a personal letter from Mr. Sheppard, the publisher of Thb News, before us, assuring us that his extra- ordinary offers will be earried out to the letter, and we feel sure that they will. The News is not in competition with local papers, and we quote the publisher's words, cowpled with bur advice to try The News for a year :â€" "The man who is toe mean to take his local paper is tao stingy to be honest, too omall to be respected, and too ignorant to hope to be honored by his fellow-citizens."
