TOP; LORD% .A11.1117,—On Friday the
first detatcbinent of the Lord's Arniy
came here and commenced services in the
town hall, in the evening; having a very
large crowd as an, audience. Ot course
the great majority went out of cariosity.
The army consisted of five ince and three
worsen, who come hero from Mitehell.
Re-inforcements have since been added to
their =Aber, and daily servics are being
held under. their direction. • The crowd
that assembled in the town hall on Tues-
day aliening, to bear them, was thelail_pst
that.ever gathered in that, buildi ng, almost
every foot of room being occupied. Some
hbre have already professed conversion
.throughtheir instrumentality. This coin -
puny, although similar to, the Salvatien
Army, claim to be an improvement on
them, as.they permit no foolish antics or
exclareations on the streets; ...or in ° their
Meetings, and only seek the 'religioiti in-.
threats of the community, by urging every
sinner to reform and seek conversion: Cp
to the present' time little extravagance or
unseemly conduct haataken place in their
meetings, and the worst that can be said
about them is their apparent levity in
some Utile tunes they sing, and 111 parad-
ing the streets with flag, drum, mouth
organ, etc. As their object iglu the right
direetion,°, and they/ are said to do good
among a Certain class of the community,
it is to be hoped that if they do not re,
-mite the countenance and support of all,
no obstacle will be thrown in the way to
prevent them from enjoying the utmost
degree of liberty. The youths of town,
who go along the street* ridiculing the
songs of tho army, have very little to do,
and might be engaged in something bet-
tor. If their names were given they would'
perhaps. feel a little RS -hauled of their

Cuors.'f---Although the spring is rather
more forward than the average, and. seed-
ing generally bas been done in good order
and early, the crops that are up are look-
ing none of the best. The fall wheat
generally was of very small growth last
tall, and in many places patches were
killed by the frost, causing about one-
eighth to be plowed up and re -sown, and
its growth this spring has not been very
good, and, -therefore, not much more than
half a crop can be expected. Owing to
the cold and wet spring grains are back-
ward and sickly looking,but
itgrass -pro-
mises a large yield. As is yet early in
the season, no certain forecast can be
made of the coming crops, bilt hopes Ui'ay
be `entertained
that the farmer's returns
'for the year will be fully up to the average.

The annual meeting of the shareholder
of this institution was held on Thursday
evening laet, in the Council Chamber, the
President- occupying the chair. A state-
ment of receipts and expenditureS was
submitted, audited by 'Messrs. G. E. Pay
and P. W. Watts, and found correct ---
There was a balance on band of $176,
which would have paid a dividend of over
14 per cont, but by a unanimous vote it
was decided to apply this amount toward
the liquidation of the 0ebt„ on capital ac-
count. This leaves the company with a
property of $1800, and, not over MO .en-
cunibrance. The first season' has been a
highly successful one and the manage-
