This (Thursday) is the day appoint- ed by the highest authority, of the Dominion as a day of public ac- knowledgement for the blessings of the year drawing to a close, and es- pecially, for a boantifnl harvest •and while it becomes the duty of all to attend public service, when practic- able, and thus recognise and ac- knowledge with thanks the dealings of a kind Providence, this act does not relieve us from the duty of individual thanksgiving for National peace and prosperity as well as moral, social and domestic blessmgs. Human nature is ever ready to give Providence a great deal of credit for losses and mis- fiortunes m life, but when success and prosperity attends our efforts, then "We did it" "I managed thus and so" leaving Providence out of the question. There is no person as happy as the man who always looks on the bright side, and whose heart ever flows in gratitude for the many temporal and reJigious benefits, advantages and privil^es of life. A. 0. U. W. ot "Markdale lodge Ancient Order United Workmen is organized some six years and has not had the mis- frotane to loose a member by death. It has now a membership of over fifty. The Order has a membership in Can- ada of over 12,000 so that every' as- sessment of $1 a member raises the Jiandsome sum of $12,000, or suffici- ent to pay six death calls of $2,000 «acb. It is perhaps the cheapest life in- surance in existence, not exceeding on an average $7 a year per $1,000, and â-  besides its cheapness, it is a source of satisfaction to its members to know they are assisting unfortunate widows and orphans to the amount of $170,- 000 ajyear, while each individual mem- ber does not miss his paltry $1.25 pev mouth or thereabouts. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" Amhersburg was visited last week by a destructive fire. Loss $14,000, â€" The Bank of Toronto opened a branch last week in London, in the «ld bank of London premises. â€" It takes nearly one hundred millions foreign eggs a month to keep the English in cakes and puddings. Sir. Charles Tnpper was re-elected last week for Cumberland, N. S., by over thirteen hundred i -jority. Daring October the pablio debt of the Dominion was decreased more than a quarter of a million. Plymouth church, Brooklyn, has decidf'd to call Eev. Chas. A. Berry, of Molyerhampten, England, as its pae'ar. â-  •â-  â€" Montreal fruit dealers and cigar Mor. s want to keep open on Sunday aftf r noons and have petitioned the council for permission. â€" Mr. John McDonald of Toronto, has leen appointed to the Senator- sbip made vacant by the death of Hon. Wn. McMaster. ... â€"-"It is rumoured tbat Benous dis- sen onu exist between members of the Manitoba OfinremiiieBit, and fiiat a CI 'SIS is intending, either In the sha; e xf a didiiUatioiL or aeoalition. ^fi£tfdimabd faskr^faoifld tiieOOD- -i^i^.uve ean£dai« li9'a«EiaII nu^or- ^,^, Th| rafqU m^ io xndiMt* bo^er towns who «oids into to' buy chiokens ars leave their bosties at home, are warned that the Customs all along the frontitr an under in- structions to look out for women with big bustles. No bustie, no «dckens. â€" Four ef the Anarchists wars hanged in Chicago last Friday. Spies, Engel, Fischer and Parsons. Lingg committed suicide in prison the day previous, and the sentence of Schwab and Fielden were commntted to lil* imprisonment. â€" Sit Charles Tapper, Mr. Thomp- son, and the Canadian staff for the Fisheides Commission left Ottawa tiiis week for Washington, and will join Mr. Chamberlain and bis coadjutors at New York on the way. â€"A woman has been elected a school commissioner in Syracuse, and by a very large majority. In Great Britain women serve on the school boards with the very best re- sults, and en the face of it, who has a better right than the mother to control in part the education of -her children.? In Ontario women may vote for school trustees, but none have, so far as we know, been elected to office: If a few of them were, it is not impro- bable that the school boards would pay less attention to politics and more to the children's comfort than they do now. â€" Citizens at Collingwood are making an effort to establish an hospital, to be known, in consequence of the ship- ping arriving at that port, as the "CoUmgwood Marine and General Hospital." The trustees have on hand nearly a thousand dollars, and one lady' has promised one thousand more when another thousand israised. Fifty dollars given entitles the donor to a life membership. The hospital will be open to the poor of all lands. Subscriptions may be sent to Mr. W. B. Hamiltongpresident of the Board of Trustees Mr. H. B. Maodonell, secretary or to Mr. W. A. Copeland, manager of the Bank of Toronto at Collingwood. â€" The Idea that missionaries should, when possible, have a medical educa- tion, so that theirgift of healing might be used after the Gospel fashion as an introduction to the Gospel itself, has so much of common sense in it that it would seem as though the plan onlyneededto.be presented to tbe churches to revolutionize their practice on the subject. The missionary societies generally accept a medical education in lieu of a theological one, and where a choice must be made the medical missionary would appear to have the advantage in many fields over his theological brethren. Where a man or woman is otherwise fitted for the duties of the mission field, a medical education superadded, provided always the candidate is ad apted to that kind of service, would be an enormous gain. SB cuavxmam. Durham Chronicle :â€" The people of the 10th concession of Glenelg are agitating for better 'postal faciUties. They talk of getting up a petition ask- mg that a post office be established on the lOtii. They are now aj}oat an equal distance between Glascott and Traverston.
