attendance was not good as„ otlierwiee
Would have been; and oonseduently the ate

usually well got up dinner. The chairman, .
Mr., J. Mason, read a letter !rem Prof. Biotin,.
stating the :reasons of his absence. .the
dinner,. was etinducted wholly on tenmerarice

LECTURE.—The Rev. J. Hill, M.A., Of
Seaforth, gave one of his amusing and in-
teresting lectures on "Chalk talk," M St.
Paul's church school house, on Tuesday
et -ening: There was a crowded attend-
ance,and Mr. Hill's lecture on " The soul.
of sense in things absurd," illustrated by
anecdote and crayon sketches, seems --to
afford immense gratification. The old
nursery rhymes, as "Rock -a -bye baby,"
"Jaek and Jill," " Old mother Hubbard,"
" Sing A song Of sixpence," and others,
were made to possess a, meaning, and to
contain a life not known` or recognized
before. The 'Sabbath school children
sang an anthem; learnt them by Mr. H.
Morgan, with great taste and sweetness.
THE town antherities have noticed that
parties have done great injury tO different
gravel sidewalks in the „town, by driVing
upon them with -teams, we are, therefore,
requested to give netioe that anyone doing
so in future, will be prosecuted in accord-
ance with the by-law Made and provided
for that purpose.
