DISTRICT MATTERS.
Mg such as to reflect the highest credit
ou her powers as a vocalist. The "Bird'
Sono' especially, althotigh a somewhat'
difficult piece, was rendered with singu-
lar sweetness and effect, and waareceived
with the appreciation it deserved. The
overture from "Taneredi," by Miss Mc-
Donald and Messrs. Collins and,Allen,
was an excellent piece of instrumental
music, and its attractions -received full
, justice in the manner of its performance.
The "Artillery - Lancers," by the same
artists, including Mr. Latimer, was
equallywell given and received, both
pieces being encored. A solo, ‘13eware,"
by Miss Maggie Foster, in her usual vi-
vaaious style, was met with a hearty
encore, Miss Foster responding with
" Barney O'Hea" very effectively. Mr.
D. Hogbin, Of Clinton, gave "Rocked in.
the Cradle of the Deep" in a very fair
manner; although the beauty of the song
was somewhat impaired by one or two
defects in its rendition. His "Simon the
Cellarer" was also defective, being lack-
ing in yipr of execution, and partaking
too much of a monotone. Mr. Robert
Horrell gave a couple of songs., over which
we charitably cast the mantle of oblivion.
• Mr. D. J. Foster also gave a comic song,
for which he received a couple of rattling
encores. Miss McDonald presided at
the piano, and discharged the duties ap-
pertaining to the position with admirable'
skill, and to the satisfaction of all. Sev-
eral pieces of music were furnished. by the
Clinton and Seaforth bands, which, how-
ever good, were, it seems to us,. out of
place in a small room like our hall, where
• the stunning blare of the instrumen9
completely annihilates all sense of har-
mony. The duties of the chair were
-performed by Dr. Coleman in hie usual
happy manner, who, however, found it
necessary to administer a sharp rebuke
to several turbulent young spirits at the
• back end of the hall who took consider-
able pains to _make nuisances of them-
selves by their frequent interruptions and
laad behaviour generally. At the con-
clusion of the entertainment a vote of
thanks was passed to the band for the
treat with which they had provided our
citizens, and to the several performers
who had taken part in the concert for
their efforts to please.

ABOUT QUILTS.—We have been shown
a quilt belonging to Mrs. Cordery, of
Seaforth, which contains 13,335 pieces.
Although this number has been exceeded
in one or two cases by quilts in other
parts of the country, we guess this one
can lay claim to the championship of
this county. -
MR. CRESswELL'S ART LOTTERY.—Mr.

been increased in value and. number, and
we have no doubt Mr. Cresswell's efforts
will be rewarded by a liberal patronage
ou the part of the public.

advertisement, our town is to be visited

proved a complete success. There were
present characters representing alroost
every nation on the continents of Europe
and America, together wit1Pan abundant
supply of those who claimed to be of Af-
rican origin. The people of the town,
however, were not content with imitat-
inc, earthly objects, as four of the more
eccentlic youtliS came out in what they
thought to be the robes of his satanic
majesty. The town band enlivened the
sport with select music, and the ice be-
ing in good condition, all present enjoyed
a pleasant evening. -
.1XE NEW FIRE. -ENGINE'.--A trial of
rn
the new lire engine was Made on Satur-
day, when the town fathers, most Of
-whoin seemed to make ib their duty to
Ise present, seemed to be satisfied with
its work. The niost remarkable feature
of the engine was the very short time it
took to produce. steam, only 7;!! minutes
having elapsed between the time the
first match was applied until it threw a
steady stream of -water. It then forced
a heavy column of Water through one
thousand feet of hose to the height of
over 120 feet. Everything having work-
ed so satisfac,torilar, the Council have de-
termined to pnrcitase it without further
• hesitation.

the creditors of Mr. P. Fisher will be
held at Wiley'a Hotel, Lower Town, on
Wednesday evening, when a statement of
his affairs will be submitted to them, and
on the decision at which they may arrive

ture action will be taken with regard to
rebuilding the mills. •
110TEI. CHANGE.—It is rumored that
Mr. L. ,T. Brace has leased his fine new
hotel, the " Royal" to Mr. C. J. Me-
Cutcheon, of Clinton. The Royal is a

is a first-class landlord, and knows hew
to run -an hotel as it should be run,. its
high reputation among travelers will be
retained under his management.
