ENTERTAINMENT AND PRESENTATION.—As previously announced an entertainment was held in Button's school on Thursday, Deo. 20th. The evening was beautiful, and long before the hour for commence- ment the building was closely packed with a crowd of eager listeners. At 8 o'olook the chair was taken by Rev. W. Forrest and a long but interesting pro- gram was given. The seleotions were uhoice and to specialize any of the per- formers would be unfair, as each seemed to vie with the other in making the en- tertainment an unbounded success. Be- fore the meeting closed it little incident took place between teacher and pupils which added much to the interest of the ocoaeion. Mies Smillie was called to the front, when Sara Taylor and Maggie Clennan, in behalf of the school section, made the following presentation : Kiss Siaaffle DaaR Tzicnaa,—It devolves upon us to offer you, in the name of the school section, slight token of our esteem and regard. I am not only addressing you as our teacher, but as our friend, our dear, trusted and very much tried friend ; for how often have we not tried your temper and your forbearance. Dear teacher, we will ever keep your image preserved as sacred in our hearts, and shall look back to the echo d not as an abode of penance, but rather of pleasure, since your kind. nese and amiability have so rendered it, our studies having been lightened by your diligence, patience and painstaking. The little gift we offer you is of no essential value, but it is rich in love, in gratitude and reaped. Please accept We album and wribing.desk and with it our united hopes that your life will ever be as happy as you have made ours. Mier: Smillie replied briefly,the Nation. al Anthem was sung and the company separated feeling that snob gatherings are not only pleasant but profitable and well calculated to unite people more and more in the bonds of sociability and peace. The proceeds of entertainment, which amounted to over $18.00, will bo used in purchasing a olook and lamps for the school. School re•opeoed on Thursday. R.

The attendance was not as large as woe expected, but the service WWI very fine and much enjoyed by all present Rev. 16 Paul and J), Ho of Bruesele were in attendance and Hogg, peat in the Meeting. Mr, Paul preached A sermon appropriate to the occasion from I Peter 4;7:8, "Tho end of all things is at hand, &o." The following points were given ; The end of the Jewish poi. ity ; the end of the year of grace ; the end of human life ; the end of the world ; then "be sober, watch, pray and above all thinge have fervent charity among Yourselves." There ie no better way to spend the last moments of the old year and the first of the new, than with God, in His house, engaged in Ilia service.' Mr, Hunter, of Morrie, and others took part. Goei "Rouu.-Frank Ashton passed away to his reward last Saturday morn- ing at 7:80 o'olook, aged 26 years. He bad been ill for the past year and a half, consumption being his trouble. He is supposed to have taken the disease from his brother Archie who died May 10th, 1898. The subject of this nobice was a tailor by trade and had a shop in Molesworth, but finding his health fail- ing he went to farming and afterwards- opened a shop at Walton. He had been forced to quit work about four months ago and he speedily failed. The im- mediate cause of hie death was internal hemmorhage, which canoed a collapse in ten minutes. Deaeased was converted at revival services held at Browntown and was a consistent member of the Metho- dist ohuroh. During his recent illness his calm, cheerful experience did much to encourage the many visitors who cal- led upon him. His experience was like that of St. Paul "To live is Christbut to die is gain." The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, Rev. G. H. Cobble. dick conducting the service. Listowel. The Listowel Piano Co. have ehipped thirty•five pianos the past month, which is the largest months sales since the iso. tory was started. Rev. J. H.

Hay may make arrange• menta for using the material in the Rose- bush property for the erection of a block of stores with a hall on Main street next Summer. Alfred Perrin, the eight•year-old eon of James Perrin, of this town, while jumping on Moyer & Co.'s dray, moot - dentally fell and broke hie leg.
