The weekly entertain- ment of leetnres, music, debates, etc., will soon begin. The Edward Houghton Dramatic Co'y gave three entertainments here last week to small houses. lin Mot:day and Tues- day evening their playing was fairly good ; on t%einesday one of the lady players was to, ill to take her pert in the play for which they were billed, and instead theCumpsny gave "Uncle Josh."

Owing to the ill- ness of Mr Coiling, the regular minister, Rev Dr Strongman, of the Ashfield cir- cuit, conducted servicer in the Canada Methodist church on Sunday evening. A series of special services begin in this church on Tuesday evening. There will be services in all the churches on Thanks- giving Day. In St. Paul's Episcopal chereh Rev Mr Wright, of Gerrie, ex- changed pulpits with Rev Mr Goldberg. At the clove of a recent trial one of the presiding magistrates made some caustic remarks in reference to the oos- tom some of our young men have of loitering around street corners and on hotel platforms. Even on Sunday whet people are on their way to and from church they are compelled to run the gauntlet of gangs of emotion and tob•ceo chewers, who pane remarks on all and every one as they pees. It they go to church at all they will not sit is the family pew, but must occupy • seat in the gallery or at the tack of the church. This applies to Lucknew, bat i fancy to some other towns of would not be inap- plicable. The Kmpirr mag competition does not take very well with some of the teachers in this locality. In conversation with Mr. Yule, b.sd ssaster of the Luckuow Public Schools, he says he does not ap- prove of tt at all. He ooneideve it will give rise to deosit and dishonesty. No child will write .n ee•ay nn be or her own merits on any subject under Boob circumstance*, bat will receive instruc- tions, assistance and hints from parents and others. it will not he an honest test o' the capabilities of each e'ampeutor in es.h individual school. It is all well enoegh to instill into the minds of the youth feelings of loyalty to the Empire of which we torn sit important • part, but this loyalty can- not he instilled by pointing to the Rag of Great Britain, which is practically a . sari-fnreire Ace.

Fully one -twelfth of the male population were out to hear the case of assault, Grundy v. Young, McLennan and Agar. The case against the last leagued was die- usissetl; Young and S'cLeeman were each tined $15 and coats. The general int- prrwion a that Young acted more as • peacemaker the:: as an assaulter. but the justices, with all the *mimic., nefore them, thought otherwtae. People say the other young man 111 more to ba piti- ed than hhn,ei. Mr Slorris n pttse• touted for Grundy. The case of Irmo v Grundy came up su Saturday, but at the request 1.1 Irwin's solicitor, and Ly consent of Grundy's, the case was adjourned to Muoday, when it agate came up only to find that the ac- cused had taken the train on S.turday evening and voile to the land of the tree and McKinleyisni. The charge against hue was "unlawfully and usalicioudy so ending and Indicting Irtduy harm." The case went on and the defenadaet was annruttted for trial.
