To the Reeve and Council. of the Township of Stephen in session assem bled. GEN TLEMEN:-In accordance 'With instruo- tions received frora your honorable body I havo made an examination of the ditch or drain commonly known as the "Mud Creek Drain " commencing at the line between lots 1.1 and.12 in the 10th concession in the Township of Stephen. and extending north- erly across lots 11 to 15 both inclusive in the 10t11 Con, of the Township of Stephen and from rat 11 South to lot 5 in con lo both in- clusive and from lot 5 con, lo South through lots 4 eon. 3 both inclusive con. 111ot 2o S B Stephen and across lot 2o in the N Bdry. eon, of the Townehip of McGillivray and across lots 3,4 and 6 in condi. In making an examination I find that the drain above described is for the most part in a very bad condition having filled in consid- erably since originally constructed and, be- ing altogether too small in capacity to con- ey the water from the lands above described, and that Rowing upon them from the higher lands above, much to the damage of adjoin- ing lands and. roads. • • 1. also find that in order to obtain a proper outlet in the Township of McGillivray it will also be necessary to deepen, widen and strengthen the creek from the present outlet across lots 3,4, and 6in the 15th concession of the said Township •and that the adjoining lands would be more or less improved. I have made the neeessary ,survey of the above work and have staked it out and have taken levels, commencing at the line be- tween lots 11, and 12 in the 10th concession as shown on plan, hereto attached, piecing stakes along edge of drain two obains or eight rods apart and taking levels al. same and in bottom of ditch, where no change in coarse is necessary throughout. The stakes are numbered. o, 2, 4, 0, ote.,and. the levels are taken on the ground beside -the same. In the assessment I have endeavoured to distinguish between the higher and outlying lands and the adjacent and lower lands which will evidently receive the greater ben- efit. The dotted blue lines on nlan attached sbow approximately the outline of low or swamplands using the drain for outlet, In the accompanying Profile the cut in feet and decimals of a foot are shown at eaoh sta- tion of 8 rods ale° the depth of earth to be taken from the bottom of the ditch which will also require to be widened somewhat. Where the drain passes through timbered lands the trees to be felled and alllogs and brushwood to be remove& so far from the edge of the ditch that none may be covered by the earth excavated. The earth to be thrown out 3 feet clear of the edges of the ditch and so equally as possible on both sides of same and spread to a depth not exceeding 1 foot unless otherwise ordered by the En- gineer or Inspector in charge of the work. Whenever the dramn. leaves th.e old channel of Creek at any crooked place for the pur- pose of streightening the same and im nrov- nag the flow of water, the earth excavated to be east upon the side on which the old chan- nel lies and whenever practicable the Con- tractor should clump the earth into the same Prober openings to be made in spoil bank at all low runs and at sufficent intervals throughout. I estimate the cost of the above proposed work as follows: - Excavating 14266 oub, yds. at 180. $1854.58 Add for survey and assistance, Plans and profiles, estimate, preparing and publishing by-law, letting and super - 1974 58, Schedule of Assessment againet lands In the Townshinof Stephen to Ise benefitted and 481ng the drain as an outlet.

After devotional exer- cises eoducted by the Incumbent, a pleasant half hour was spent by par ente, teachers, and children In the dis- tribution of gifts. Two special prizes were awarded for regular attendance and perfect recitation of lessons—the the first Master Johnnie Blackwell, who never missed a Sunday and had the highest number of marks for perfect lessons; and a second special prize was awarded by the Incumbent to Miss Alma Hodgins who stood next on the roll. At this stage, of the proceedings a handsome china porridge sett was presented to Mr. Wm -turner in recog. salon of his valued servites as Super- intendent, to which Mr. Turner made a suitable reply, Then came the pre- sentation of a well worded address to Miss Alice Hodgins for her services as organist, accompanied by two magnifi. cent vases, a handsome booklet (illus- trated), and several pieces of ornament. al ware for the centre table. Every child who attended the Sunday sehool from Easter to advent then received Some toy or book in the order of merit: and it was cheering to parenta and all present to witneSs the beaming faces of the children 38 each came forward to receive his or her token of encoirrage- Merit.

The debate Style vs, Tea came off as announced. The affirmative contended that as pride was so severely denounced in Scripture, and that style was the natural prodnction of pride and thaa it caused misery and want and that it was the prolific cause of $o many as- signments and that the extravagance in dress in church eoing members con- tributed largely towards spreading the evil. The negative shevved that tea was a financial, physical, mental, mor- al and spiritual evil and should be de- nounced by ehristian people. That tea had only been in use in Europe 230 years but now almost in use in every family ih christendom. That the poi- son contained in 1 lb. was sufficient to kill 1,500 frogs or 40 eats. That tea was not spoken of in scripture for the simple reason that the plant was not known when scripture was written. The descision was give.n that style was the greater evil. On Wednesday even- ing 21st inst., the relatiye influence of men and women will be discussed. Probably some singing will be done. Dashwood. A load of our young people drove over to Mr. Green's, near Sodom on Monday evening and spest an enjoy- able time.—Mr. Daniel Sacks, who has been on the sick list for some time is slowly improving.—There is a lot of sickness around' at present and peo- ple must congratulate themselves upon having a good physician in our midst, —It's all right to talk patent medicines and quack doctrrs when you are well; but when it comes to a pull between life and death, they "ain't in it."

Those days with me have come and gone—And good old days they were— So now my friend if you're going to sit on any one, just sit on me right here. You seem to have the girl fever on the brain and already must be sotnewhat delerious, for you talk of eight nights In a week.
