Episcopal* Methodist Anniversary The Annitrersary. Services in connexion with the M. E. Church, of this Village, were held On Sabbath; and Monday evening last. On Sabbath, able and excellent -serniems were preached by Rev. Mr. Williamson,' of London, at half -past ten and half -past six. In the afternoon, at half - past two, the l Rev. Mr. Moore, • of Stanley,. preaehed a most eloquent discourse. The attend- ance at each of the Sabbath Services was, con- sidering the inclemeot state of the we:Lther, very fair. THE FESTIVAL. On Monday _evening the Annual Festival was held in. the C. P. Church. ,The 'et -ening was one of the most pleasant of the season, and the roads • a beinghefine eonditron; the attendance was ex- ceedingly largeThe -tables, . which, were theee in number, and extended nearly the full length of the -chutch, were insufficieet to accomodate the -vast assemblage, se that they had t� be replen- ished, which caused considerabledelay t After all had (lone ample jostice- to the bountiful sup- ply of. substantials and huetiries, Which had been provided, those present repaired to T the base- ment of the 'church to listen to the intellectual part of the feast, Which commenced by S. G. Mc- Caughey, EN.; Reeve, being called to the Chair, and who, ;upon taking his seat, said. that he thought now as he . thought when asked. by the respected Pastor- of this congregation to take. the position, that they could getothers in the Village who -could fill the position more creditably than he could, but as the duties of Chairman were not very onerous, he would discharge them to the best of his ability. He must say that lie was glad to be proSent on this occasion. He was glad to occupy • such a positiota for the reason that he belonged to another branch of the Pro - testa t Church, and that he believed it would be Well ations approaching when sects and names- Would to a great extent be done 'away with, and whenSall sects would. merely be denoinioated- What the early disciples of Christ were, -'Christians.' The Rev:- Mr. Graham was then called upon to offer, prayer, after which; and the singing of a piece by the choir, the Chairman called upon Des CAMPBELL, who took as his subjeet. "The Leading 'Dints of Canadian Character." The Dr. stated that, in dealing with this subject, which was a very comprehensive one, he would merely have timetogiance at e few of the more prominent traits of the young Canadian, and if, in doing sot he wouldebe compelled to cut rather hard' at times, he 'hoped they would consider it was done with the best intention, and that they would boar t in mind. that it WaS a Canadian, who dearly lovedbis coinitry, who was fspeaking of Canadians; and whateVer he might 4y, he would assure them, would be said with a, desire that those who listened might prefit by bis remarks, and, not that his remarks Might wound or irri- I ite. The Canadian people are, • proverbially, a fast people. The young Canadian gets ripe too fast, so Much so that he. seldom comes to matu- rity. He is generally older than his years, and his peculiarity in this respect is very apt to call forth, from a earthy Scot, the remark : "An old. head upon yewag shoulders." In the -pursuits- of life too, they arc apt to go on in the same fast. _rummer. They rushed into speculations with a daring which would. astonish and.awe many a per- soirof another nation,. evidently with the deter- mination of making a spoon or spoiling a thorn, and if they failed, and lost all, they. would have but little hesitation in availing themselves of the advantages of the insolvent act, -go through the Bankrupt Court, and come out in as few days or weeks as large as evereand make a new start once more, • The Dr. warned them against this haste to get rich. And reminded them of the .saying of Solomon : "He who' hasteth to get rich, falleth intotemptation and a snare." He then went on to. • state the Mental, Political, and Religious traits of the young Canadian,' and ended by show - Mg the superiority Of the people of Northerri over - those of Southern latitudes, and predicted for our people a glorious future if they would but re- main true to themselves and their country.

He had chosen a subject on which to address them, but would. postpone his address until a fu- ture time. The subject which he had chosen was "Trifles." After making a few pleasant re- marks, the Rev.( Gentleman resumed his seat, After passing votes of thanks to the Speakers, the Ladies, the Chairman, the Choir, and to the Trustees of the C. P. Church, the meeting was closed by announcing of the Benediction -by Rev. Mr.- Williamson. The -pleasure of the evening's proceedings was very much enhanced by the excellent singing of the choir, who, for the admirable manner in which they performed their parts, richly deserved the thanks of the meeting which was so heartily ten- dered. to them. We cannot close this report without Congratu- lating our Methodist Episcopal friends, upon the grand success which attended their anmversary services throughout. Large as the attendance was on Monday night, it was not larger than the oc- casion or entertainment deserved.

AN EXTENSIVE WEDDING.- On Monday last, an extensive wedding party were the guests, at Drew's Hotel. There were in all ten couples.

CHURCHES AND S(HOOL.---Neay the centre of the village, are situated four neat churches. The Episcopal Church is a line brick structure, which cost about $2,500, thanks to the untiring energies of the Rev'd W.

G- & B. Railway. The momentous question with all is "What amount of bonus will each Township grant?" Each individual has his own ideas with regard to the actual amount, but all seem deter- mined not to allow the scheme to fall, threngh for a few thousand dollars.' AN .EPISODE. -G. J. Hamilton opened a Law, Loan, and Insurance Office in our -village a few months ago. Of G. J. IL's antecedents but little appeared to be known. However, to what, un- douletly, was his virgin success in the second mentioned part of his business, hangs a tale. It seems tl3at G. J. H., having secured mortgages and othernecessary documents from the would-be borrower, succeeded in obtainirag from some Com- pany, a cheque to the required amount, payable to his (G. J. H's) order. Whenever thb party, for whom the money was intended, made application, for the same, at the said Law, Loan Mid Insur- ance Office, he was put off for some reason or anothete until his suspicions became aroused, and fitnally came to the conclusion, to make the pro- prietor dislodge, by main force if be could. -by no March, 18, 1870. 0:60 to 0:88 0:80 to 0:85 0:42 t� 0:45 0:27 to 0:29 0:50 to 0:52 0:50 to 0:70 0:50 to 0:55 9:00 to 11:00 0:04 to 0.07 6.50 to 8.00 10.00 to 12.00 0:15 to 0:14 0:00 to 0;Iti 0:20 to 0:20 7:50 to 8:00 5:00 to 6:00 0.40 to L25 0.12 to 0:15 0:30 to 0.15 005 to 006 NOTICE TO STOREKdEPERS. --- T hereby give notice that Mary Taylor has left my employment, and. she is no longer author- ized to contract debts on my behalf, aaul 1 warn all Storekeepers not to give ber credit int 3ny ac- count. 119-3in.
