• COMPLIMENTARY • DINNER. —The con-
stituents of Mr. Humphrey Snell, the re-
spected Reeve of 'lulled, entertained
hint at a complinaentary dinner at
Lonclesboro' on Thursday night.
GOOD PORK. --Mr. George Lear, of
rocently geld on the Clinton
niarket four dressed hogs, which weighed
in the agg,regate- 1,948 pounds. One of
these was a apring and weighed. 281
pounds. Mr. William Hiles, also of
Hullett, sold a pig which weighed 503
pounds.
, SOIREE. —A very intereSting and. high-
ly successful affair of the social and in-
tellectual order came off here a few eve-
• nings ago. The only people in this .sec-
tion that have made arrangements and
pwvision for stated, religious services are
the Wesleyan Methodists. One of their
..earlie-steefforts in the settlement of this
• _place was to erect a house of worship, or
• church. Some twoor three years ago,
finding the congregation had outgrown
the building, they determined on, and.
effected the needed enlargement. Still
wore recently, and when yet the effort
• was thought by many to be quite be-
yond their means, they decid.ed to erect
a shed in connection with -the dhurch.
Decision with this people is only another
word for completion, and. so the shed was
commenced, completed, and all their en-
gageinents therewith fully met, and. now
the whole is paid for. Still more recent-
ly, they decided to place an organ in the
church, and this latest social was got up
for obtaining funds to assist defray-
ing the expense thereof, and. to ay they
are justly proud. of, and. very grateful
for the cordial response that has fur-
nisled the means of meeting every obli-
gation at maturity. The gustatory part
of the entertainment was ample in quan-
tity and good in quality. After the re-
past, J. S. Briavinee, of cheese factory
celebrity, was unanimously called. to oc-
cupy the chair, which, despite his ex -1
treme modesty, he did in a most satis-
factory manner. After prayer had been
offered up by Rev. Mr. Crane, six young
ladies came forward at the call of the
chairman and. gave an interesting dia-
logue in a very crecliteble manner. The
only speaker engaged for the occasion
• was Mr. Thompson, of Kinburn, who
was then called, and, on rising, set forth
• in a laughable anecdote the high estimate
in which he held the excellent supper of
which he had just partaken. In allude ,
ing to a recent lecture in the same place,
in which the lecturer discoursed of the.
men of Canada, the speaker thought '
might at least have owned that there -
were women in Canada, even if he had
neither thne nor taste for delineation of
character. He coald not overlook this
sad defect in an otherwise eloquent lec- •
ture, and so he would constitute himself
their champion. The speaker then spoke
of the ladies in a vigorous and somewhat
humorous style, yet with what was evi-
dently a genuine enth.usiasm. Mr.
Thompson appears to be a hearty. ad-
mirer of the fair sex, and if Canada has
furnished, and still supplies, such women
as the speaker gave her credit -for—and
there seems to be no good reason to doubt
it—then Canada may well feel proud
thereof, .and can never need. to blush ler
her matrons or maidens, and her sous
must take rank amongst the foremost of
the age ; for naothers, and sisters too,
exercise a boundless influence in mould,'
hag the character and determining the
destinies of the race. Mr. Marshall'
Braithwaite, of Londesborough, gave a
good reading of "The Miser." Rev.
Mr. Crane read an excellent article on t
"Luck vs. Pluck," wherein pluck was
made to appear to the decided better ad-
vantage. • lt wain& be hard to find an
occasion where the doctrine of the ar-
ticle was more fairly demonstrated than
on the then present effort and. its con-
comitants. An efficient choir discoursed.
charming miisic at proper intervals to
the manifest delight of an appreciative
audience. After the usual votes of
thanks, Mr, Crane, pronounced. the bene-
diction, and the congregation separated_
about as fully delighted with the eve-
ning's entertainment as any one would
rea.senably expect in an intelligent and
progressive community. --Com.

which has made people all the more
wonder why he committed the rash act.
Twenty-eight.years ago he seems to have

he thought he -would go out of his
head" if he could not rest better at night ;
indeed his brother's family . were very
suspieiotis of his sanity, as precautions
were taken lest he, might imflict some
personal injury on. them. On the above
morning, when his brother had gone to a
neighboring house,. he strolled off to a
secluded corner of a field, took off his
overshirt, braces; vest and coat, and laid
them on the fence, and with some in-
strument which has not since been`found,
as it was snowing at the time, made a
deep gash in his throat from' the ear to
the windpipe. He was soon missed;
was traced and found still alive. He,
however, died. a few minutes before
medical aid. arrived, which -was about
12 o'clock. He acknowledged commit-
ting the deed, and. referred to "his
head" ?, as the cause. Dr. Tennant, of
LucknOw, held_ an inquest on. Monday,
the verdict of which was "temporary
insanity." He was buried in St. Helens
