Canadian Mission.—It is with the deepest regret that we record the death of Mr. Daniel Clark, Egmondville. Mr. Clark was a native of Tongue, Sutherland, and went to Canada in early youth. He acted as missionary to our people in Ontario, and his labours were highly appreciated. A fuller notice will appear later on. We regret that, owing to an oversight in the Canadian Mission Report, the name of Mr. George Baird, Brucefield, was omitted in the brief Obituary Notice.—D.B.
