Monkton, N. G. r. R.-The lecture given
by Prof. A. w. Hawks. the well known humor-
| ist, at st. James Guild Hall, on Sunshine and
| Shadow" was much enjoyed by those who
braved the Indictment elements and attended
on Friday evening of last week. Had the
weather been more propitious large audience
would have filled the hall. Another lecture
will be given in the near future when it is hoped
the weather will be more kind and smiling
moonlight will be the order Of the evening in
stead of lowering clouds and rain drops as was
the case on Friday.

On Friday night, or early Saturday morning
last a straw stack on the farm of Mr.. Joshua
Hutchins was fired and the light from the blaze
was seen by neighbors about A. M, but Mr..
Hutchins did not discover it until he arose at
about 80, when the straw was half burned.
Fortunately the wind blew the flames in an
opposite direction from the buildings, other
wise, it is thought, the barn and house would
have been burned. Mr.. Hutchins had only
threshed about three days previous. He val
ued the straw at 500. If the fire was, as sup
posed, of incendiary origin, it is hoped the
bastard who did it may be apprehended. We
have uew.fangled names for all kinds of crime
at present. A man may commit murder while
under the influence of "brainstorm" and not
be adiudged guilty in the sight of the law. l
presume a low scoundrel who has the hire
mania, or a mania for the wanton destruction
of other peoples property, would proPaoiy ma
man frebug is dangerous criminal and should
be consigned to safe quarters.

the Sunday school of the church is about dead

Loyal Temperance Legion was reorganized ana
a competent leader or superintendent found Tor
the work. Only eight children were present,
seven girls and one boy. The business world
today sets premium on soDriety, honesty anu
Christian character. And training IN the sun
dav schools of our churches lays the foundation
for strong, true manhood, and am very sorry
that the good folks in and around Monkton
have let their Sunday school get so cold as to
be almost extinct. 1t was once the banner
school of Hereford Circuit and the children
are still around if they could only be induced
to come to church.
