FRAsun, Clerk Sodom Wedneslay evening,May 4th, was an open meeting of the Roeaal Tempiaars. The hallw well1 h as filled, many from Exeter being present. I understood it young gentleman from Exeter was to favor wi with a few songs, hence 'Aug estt'd to Miss Robertson, our teacher, that she give it out itt school, and that we would see Mr. Green, our S. 0„ to have at au open ma:etiog, Site con rented to do s4, but seemed indifferent about Didn't are mu about talk- ing, c ch uta lugs evidently something was on her mind, taking her atteution from my conversation. On the 4th I was far from well. I scarcely thought it prud- ent to go to the meeting, though I was anxious to hear the promised singing. My daugnter said if I didn't go they would be greatly disappointed, conse- quently, I went and found the house full. Ladies escorted me to a chair at the platform. Such nausea.' attention bewildered me. Instead of the S. C. occuping the chair, Miss Roberton, by the unanimous wish of all present, oc cupied the chairman's seat. She was equal to the occatinn and performed her part well. All this was a surprise to me, until Miss Robertson explained matters. A lengthy program was well performed, tbe children performing their part admirably. Some Ia:diaus were present, one of them fevuuue the audience with an Indian war dance. The Indian's gesticulations and tierce countenance, together pith his proxim- ity to the chair, caused the chairman to look towards the windows and doors to see if there was a prospect of escape. In addition to the literary part, the good ladies of Sodom had provided a good supply of eatables' aud coffee and all without a door fee or collection, When the chairman stated the object of the meeting, that it was in commem- oration of my 74th birthday, I was again :surprised. What think you, was my surprise, when Miss Laura Harris and Miss Robertson. presented me with a beautiful and substantial easy chair. How the scheme was kept from me is a puzzle, the whole neighborhood knew it, my smallest grandchild, who tells,me all his troubles, knew it, and was on the program, yet he was silent. The next point is, who was or were the promoters. Miss Laura Harris, 1 am informed, .first suggested theideato Mies Robertson, who approved. • With two such ener getic workers, all obstacles must give place, they being at the' head of this affair, explains the complete success that followed. White I admire the gift, its an outward token of esteem, I ad t' mire the Christian sentiment, that act- uated the givers more. I consider it the reciprocal exhibition of the law of kindness. , I now close by acknowledg ing my thanks to all interested 18 the get up of the entertainment on the ev- ening'of Wednesday, May 4th. - C,,PROUTY.

Some of his children being sick, he had oeenssion to get up at three o'clock on that morning to attend to them. On going back to bed, he mistook the hallway at the top of the stairs for his bed room, and stepping off, was precipitated almost headlong down the winding stairway, and was badly shaken up and bruised. Judg- ing from the manner of his fall, it was a miraculous escape from a broken neck and instant death, Ilan who Tr is Tired' All the time, owing to impoverished blood, should take Hood's ` Sarsapar- illa to purify and enrich his blood and give him vitality and vigor; This condition of weakness and lack of energy is a natural consequence of the coming of warmer weather, which finds the system debilitated and the blood impure.
