 m^ C. W. Butledge, Proprietor. MAEKDALE, JUNE 26, 1890. METHODIST CHUKCH. The Methodist Church is divided iuto twelve geographical divisions called Annual Conferences each of â- which naeet in the month of June, and are composed of all the ministers of their respective territorys and one lay representative for every minister. The names of the conferences are, British Colombia Manitoba Toronto Guelph ;. London Niagara Bay of Quinte Montreal New Brunswick Nova Scotia, P. E. I. Newfound- land and Japan. The General Conference meets once in four years and comprises cue mmister for every ten and the same number of lay representatives, who are elected at the nnnnal Conferences nex!; preceeding the meeting of the General Conference. The Educational interest of the Church was prominent among the questions considered at the. various Conferences assembled recently. The scheme of college federation adopted at the last General Conference four years ago, having been obstructed and delayed by a section of the minority, it. was decided to let the matter stand until the next General Conference, which meets in Montreal next Septem- ber. The election of delegates to the General Conference was consequently chiefly on the hue of Federation or Anti-Fed. The result is now pretty definitely known and is claimed to be about seventy-five of a majority in lavor of federation, or three times as laro;e as it was four years ago. This will doubtless settle this great educa- tional question permanently. NOTE AND COMMENT. The population of Chicago is placed at 1,250,000 by the new census, and that of New York at 1,800,000. Montreal Anghcan Synod, on the motion of Dean Carmicheal, of Mon- treal passed a motion in fayor of consolidating all the branches of that church in Canada. The union is almost certain to take place. The Methodist Publishing House in Toronto is the most complete and extensive establishment of the kind in Canada. The new premises on Kich- mond Street were recently erected at a cost of $100,000 capital invested $856,000: net profits for the past Conference year $25,000, Walter's rails. "Epistolarum Commercium." Eoad work is being done in this vicinity this week, and the majority of the workers seem to be makmg good use of their time. A new settler has come into this home, neighborhood in the person of Mr. "" McLennan. He has bought a farm (nearly all bush) a few lots south of the village. Mr. R. Walter raised a large addi- tion to his barn on Thursday last. The usual miracle â€" nobody hurt. The Griersville "Quicksteps" did not come out on Saturday to play a football match with the " Dauntless" as was announced last week. Master Tlios. Freeman is visiting i^ the Falls. He has been learning book- binding in Toronto, and looks well. We are glad to state that Jas. Ham- mill, whose injuries were mentioned last week, is progressmg very favor- ably. The bills of the Walter's Falls Dominion Day celebraaon are out. The prizes offered are good, and, as the Agricultural grounds are in good shape, a good time may be expected. Quite an excitement was caused here last week over the fact that a certain young man of the. village eloped with a damsel of the ne^hbor- ipgjVillage of Strathavon, Tl^e escape wa quite a romantic affair, hpA we 4eciiQe giving particulars.. armflaHr. Standard Corretpondenee Several residents ot your village spent Sabbath last in our village, among them, W. T. Jackman, Harr Cornett, the Misses. Leslie, and Miss Lucas. Bev. W. H. Moss preaches his fare- well sermons next Sabbath. His suc- cessor is expected for the first Sabbath in July. Some excitement was caused last week by the Village Constable sum- moning four of our citizens before the magistrate for breach of the do? tax By-law. The fun af it was, that two of them were village councillorr... Fifteen others made a bee Une for the Treasurer's office and purchased tags. The 1st of July celebration is ex- pected to be a good one. Dundalk baseball club played Cor betton the other day for five innings. Corbetton got three runs the first in- nings, but never got any more. When Dundalk had scored 27 runs, by com- mon consent the game ended. The question of building a new parsonage is now agitating the minds of the Methodists in this place. It will probably be built this summer. Entrance examinations are to be held here, Mr. McKay, principal of our school, has a large class in pre- paration. Two socials and two picnics inside of seven days prove the people of the surrounding country to be exceedingly social. Bumor has it that an estimable young lady of Dundalk is to be mar- ried to-morrow (Wednesday). We congratulate your villagers, Mr. Editor, on the final settlement of the school site question, and the com- mencement of the work of building, by letting the contract. KeafordKoad.

Last week Mr. Joseph Buchanan of this place and Miss Bead of Opps pronounced the "until death do us part" the indissoluble "I will." Mr. William Buchanan is gettiuij the stone work under his baru well under way. Mr. Arthur Johnston lost a value- able bull some time ago. Cause, too much grass and heat.

Her teaching duties were preformed by Miss Ella Stuart. Mr. John O'Brien lost a handpome year old colt last week. The Bailey Bros, were home on Sunday. They are engaged at present building the stone foundation for Mr. Jas. Madden's barn, in Osprey. Mr. Wm. Cooper occupied the pulpit of the Quaker Church on the "Four- teenth," on Sunday. Several of our young people were seen playing ballon the Sabbath Day. We think this very derogatory to the morals of this place. The Cor. to the Thornbury Stand- ard furnishes the news of this vicinity to that paper, in a spicy manner, and we are pleased to hear from Veritas often. The crops here are looking fairly well except in low land where the water has lain. But in such places the grain is yellow, and does not give much promise. A large yield of hay is expected.

Had said hotel-keeper sold this young man the liquor the majority of people would have very little sympathy for him but no, the liquor was sold by a dyed devil who keeps an unlicensed dive before the eyes of decent hotel- keepers next door to the law, and the citizens of Markdale are too decent and too respectable to notice it. Wliy^ do we not cast off our mock respecta- bility and let law abiding hotel-keep- ers and citizens rise in righteous in- dignation and stamp such a man cut from among us The young man, I understand, has been sent to Owen Sound gaol for two months. If justice were done the man who sold him the liquor ought to be along with him. Don't You TmNK.
