volunteers, under command of Capt. Mac-
whirter, mugtered at the town hall on
Tuesday` evening last .for a march, out
and to test the new Glengarrys. The
men presented it very good appearance,
and will no doubt m attain the.name of
being the first company in the battalion:
The company 'propose giving a grand
concert in the first week in November, to
raise funds to purchase helmets, and are
making efforts to secure the best musical
talent in the Province, to insure success.
They have secured the services of Mrs.
Caldwell, of Hamilton; Mr._ToJoslin has
already been. engaged. It has also been
O decided, with the double object of raising
funds and providing amusement for the
people of the town, to open a skating rink
in the drill shed, during the coming win-
ter. 'The lovers of' skating will hail this
with joy. The officers: and men of the
company deserve; great credit for the
-eneegy--they—are--showingento provide -
necessary funds by their own efforts, and
are certainly entitled to all the assistance
which the town can give them.
