ENTERTAINMENT — The school enter-

quarterly examination, was held ou
the evening of the 18th inst., and was
a decided aucoesa. Long before the
specified time,- the house was filled to
overflowing, .the evening being very
beautiful, not a cloud darkening the
horizon. At 7 o'clockthe entertain -
'merit commenced and continued until
about 10 o'clock, during which time
the burets of laughter from the audi-
ence and the loud applause was enough
to show that i 0 small painshad been
taken in preparing the excellent and
lengthy proarauime and training the
pupils to deliver their dialogues, read•
lug:) and reciteitions in such an off-
hand, easy Manner. Music was fur-
nished by the resident choir, Mr. and
Miss Byekman ably presiding at the
organ, accompanied by Mr. Horton
with his • excellent violin and Mins

the close of the programme votes of
thanks were tendered the choir, the

VARIovs.—Owing to the very excel-
lent weather we have bad during the
last two weeks the farmers in this vi-
cinity have been able to get along with
their seeding "famously." Some are
Already done seeding and others will
finish in a few days if the present fine
weather continues. Letters have been
received from the differelit perf oils who
left this neighborhood for Manitoba
and Di/cotah, and all ret ort as heiue
well satisfied with the country. Mr. D.
Ellenbanin, one of our oldest and must
respected citizens, leaves for the North
West in a fa w days. We wish him all
manner of success in his new home.
RAILWAY.—The great and absorbing
"topic" of this village at present is the
prospects of securing a railway. We
understand that it has been definitely
settled by the Credit Valley to extend
their road westward, beviug in view
Port Frank as the terminus for the
present, with Sarnia as objective point
for the future. Of course every vil(tge
along the proposed route and every
village near it is trying to get a station
if possible, and we see by the Crediton
correspondence last week th'tt 'Hiatt vil-
lage "pretends'} to hold out great induce•
mete, and one would fancy that they
lied already',the railway of "itrl,egina-
tion." The people of Crediton, or at
toast the cerrsspondent from that
"burg," would make us believe thita it
was a settled and established. fact all
"cut and dried" that they should have
the railroad. 'Now, this is pteposter
nue in the extreme ' for more reasons
than one. Crediton is altogether out
of a direct lino from Exeter—for it is,
we believe, definitely understood that
the line is to run through Exeter ---so
that it would be necessary to make a
curve to go to Crediton. Now, Mr.
Editor, we believe that our bumble ht-
tte'ciliai ekes on a more direct line to
Port Frank than Crediton. The line
could also be eitllier built, having fewer
engineering difficulties to eucounter,
We are asap situated h a fine agricttl
turas district, and would have abund-
ance of all Wade of farm produce, as
well as lumber, which we have in abun-
dance, wood, bark;&o. And by passin
through this vicinity there would be a
better chance of securing a bonus from
the township of Stephen, than any
other part. It is the northern and
western parts of Stephen that want a
railway more than the eastern part.
Our people are fully alive to their own
intsraat, and would deal libetally, as
quite a number of our leading husinese
men have already made liberal offers.
