Many of our readers will remember Dr
Wad-el.ward, who was some time ago given
the free use of some of the churches in
this vaulty, to deliver lectures on Pales-
tine, &o, A Kingston correspondent writes
of him to the Canada Presbyterian as fol-
lows : Oan you or any of your subscribers
give any information as to the whereabouts
of a person called Dr Wad el Ward ? He
was around these parts last winter and
summer, preaching and lecturing in our
churches and ab owing a stack of letters
recommendatory from ministers of our
church. On the strength of theso he
borrowed money from persons in Kingston
six months ago promising to return the
same in two days. These loans have not
been returned, and we should like to know
where the man is now.
A gentleman (?) palled upon Rev Mr
Freeman at the Parsonage and asked help
to get to his home in Chatham, stating that
he had been beaten out of his wages and
showing letters from English church clergy -
me as to his good character, he was invit-
ed in, given his dinner and some money,
after which, at the man's request, Rev Mr
F. read and prayed with him, and he then
sent away. Shortly afterwards Rev Mr
Fteeman was astonished to see his' mau
coming out of a hotel and made straight to
another.* Entering by a side door the
minister walked into the bar room just as
the tramp was about to lift a glass of whis-
key to his eager lips. Tapping him on the
shoulder the Rev gentleman denounced his
lying manners of getting money, and gave
him just five minutes to get oat of town and
avoid arrest for obtaining money under
false pretences. -Parkhill Gazette.

must be congratulated on its bong, as
everybody expressed, tho finest concert ever
hold in Zurich, and wo think they are
right. Tho oltildren did their parts re-
markably well. Time and space will not
allow us to mo tion all but some we must
not forget, Mrs S J Latta and Miss Mite
Steinbach's recitations were deserving of
praise, both ladies delivering them web and
were loudly encored. What is the use in
going abroad when we have home talent
as good if not batter than any we have
neard here. We must also mention the
rending given by Miss Dint, every word
being clear and distinct so that the smal-
lest child could understand her and enjoy
it. The Cantata, `• The Little Gipsy " was
well delivered and took well. The musical
part of the pro,;remme was all that could be
expected and loudly applauded by the peo-
ple. Mr Latta is deserving of great praise
for the manner in which he conducted the
evening's entertainment, and when he
knows the opinion of tbo people in general,
of its being considered the best concert ever
given in Zuriob, he can not but be pleased.
-While we are writing it may not be out
of place to mention the entertainment
to be given in "Fautown" on the 2nd of

prepared, consisting of readings, reoitatious

music. Some of the best vonal talent in
Zurich has been secured for the occasion,
and a good time is expected. The great
