Among tate songs daeerving of spacial no. Coe w° may mention a Gorman song, eut#ttled "Lovely Dell," atm by a little girl monad '\rand Milne, one untitled "Sold Jtvarywher°," which wolf deserved an encore. It was answered by ting sing- er of 0tong ontitled "Didn't she seem •to like it ?" Ethel may web be proud of having an amateur braes band, which in 80 short a tiro has attained such pro- ficiency, as the several piocas rondorotl by the band worm given in a style that would havo done no discredit to bands of moot longe' standing.

Notwithstanding other attractions else- where there was a large attendance. After oysters and outer refreshments had been partaken of, Isaac Rogerson, 0. R•, was palled to the chair, and, after a brief adIresn on Forestry, a very interesting and amusing program was entered upon. Vocal and instrumental selections were given by Mrs. Jas. Seal, Misses Rogerson, Laithwaite, and Miss McClelland and Ohms. MoClelltm d, Thos. Kirkoonnoll, D. McDonald, A. f6ingsbon and E. W. Gerry. Readings and recitations were contribut- ed by Dr. McKenzie, of tielgrave, and R. Agnew, of Sunshine. There were also severs' dialogues by the Sunshine friends.

Nixon has leased hfa oarriago shop to Mr. Walker, of Brussels. Dan, C •-n''0, a. raw mill man near Bel - more, was accidentally killed last Satur- day. Ho was riding on a load of logs and the binding pole becoming loosened at one encs flow bank and struck him on the head with such foreo as to knock him senseless to the ground. While lying in this position a heavy Ing front the sleigh rolled upon him and crushed ]rim to death. The position Morris "11'lothodist" takes, in last woak's issue, would be amusing if it was not for tho sad speetaole he pre - amts. Ho is amusing, when, with a de- groo of self rlghtoousnoss that to Pharisee oould oonroely equal, he sets up a stand- ard of righteousnena by which .lee proposes to test Itir. Farrow. Disregarding the fact that Mr, Falrow's oharactor, con- duct, walk, conversation, general bearing, &o., )Dino up for discussion and investi- gation and aro passed upon each year be- fore his lioenne as "local preacher" is re- nowod by tho official members of tho church Co which he belongs, he demands that his "shibboleth" be pronounced or else 112r. Farrow tnbbood. It is also amusing to claim that because Mr. Far- row is a public man therefore his church relations are matters for publiodieauesion. Now if the number of times Mr. Farrow attends church during a year is a matter that affects his standing in the commun. ity or detracts from his ability to serve the interests of this riding all right ; bat if it only affeots his standing in tho church in the church is the place to dis- cuss it. But it is sad to see one, claim- ing to bo a brother, ignore tho dieeipliuo of his church and trample upon the di• vine injunction of Christ, "having aught against hie brother" ho flings it in his fano before a carping world.
