A NOTE FROM HALIFAx.—We spent
Tuesday afternoon and night in St.
John, N. B., but owing to a steady
downpour of rain we were not able to
see much of the city. On Wednesday
we took boat over the Bay of Fundy,
a beautiful trip,of 3 hours and then by
Dominion Atlantic Railway through
the Annapolis valley, with its luxur-
iant orchards reaching Halifax in the
evening. We found Rev. and Mrs.
Ross and children well and received a
hospitable welcome from them.
They
are comfortably
settled and are much
beloved by the congregation of Fort
Massey Church. The Assembly is a
very large one and thoroughly inter-
esting. Rev. Dr. Forrest, Principal of
Dalhousie University, is the Modera-
tor. Important questions are au the
docket of business but time will not
permit a discussion of them in this
hurried letter. Halifax is a very
interesting city. Another letter will
e
be
needed in order to describe it. In
the meantime we send our regards to
friends in Blyth. Yours truly,
J. L. SMALL.

Within the grand -stands shade,
Oonsuming pearly peanuts
And ambroalal lemonade.
I asked him why the shining hosts
All wore such happy grits
"In 3tliel bore," the man replied

When I fall out of bed.
And bursted nearly all my •'slats"
And fairly spoiled my head. .
