The nsnal full house assembled at the rneeting of the Literary and de- bating Society on Saturday evening last. The subject of debate was "Re- solved that; the Indian has suffered more at the hands of the white man than the negro." The affirmative side of the euestion was upheld by F. Fraser assisted by Messrs. Forrest and Scott, while E. Felton, S. J. Campbell and J. Bryans took the negative. The gnestion,was well de- bated and after listening to the ar- guments of each side one is forced to the conclusion that both the red man and the black man must have received rather hard usuage. The decision was given in favor of the affirmative by one point. A pleasing feature of the prograiti that was much appreciated by the audience was a dialogue acted by several of the young people. If anal) an,item could be placed on the pr'ogr'am more frequently it would add greatly to the interest of the meetings. The next debate will be held on Sat- urday Feb. ,20.
