littentauceirea.—An interesting mat-
rimonial event took place on Wednes-
day ee-ening last at the residence of Mr.
Angus McDonald, of this town. The
principals were Mr. Wm. T. Modelaatd,
of Tuckersmith, and Miss Effie McLeod,
of Seaforth. The knot was tied by
Rev. A. D. McDonald in the presence
. of a large number of : relations and
friends. of the contracting parties.
After the ceremony the company par-
took of a very excellent spread prepared
for the occasion. The evening after-
wards was very pleasantly spent by the
older folks in social converse while the
young people "tripped the light fan-
tastic toe"imtil an early hour. The
many friends of the happy couple will
join with us in wishing them a long,
happy and prosperous life

- ENTERTAINmENTs. -= The McDowell
Comedy Company -appeared here on
Aiday evening last. They had a fair
house. The company is good, but the,
a •
play, " The Prh-ate Secretary,, is very
—indifferent, and although somewhat
witty, there is not much in. 'it. The
eorapany, however, made the most of it,
as the several parts were well taken and
the different characters well represented.
—The Teigintain Septette Club ap-
pealed Iiere etaiee the euepices a the
Jileeeaaies' Institute on Tuesday even-
ing last. The audience was not very
large, but this may be accounted for by
the fact that we have recently had a
surfeit of entertainments, and people
cannot go to everything of this kind
that comes along. Those who failed
to attend, however, missed one of the
best inimical treats that has been given
in Seaforth for ajong, time. The Telg-
manns are Germans, and like many of
their country people ere natural-born
musicians. There are four brothers and
two. sisters, the youngest of the girls
being about nine years and the youngest
bey about six. They areal accomplielt-
ed mysicians, Mr. Cisear Telgmann
playing on the piano and violin, a,nd his
performances on both were faultless.
Miss Doretta. Telgmann, the younger
sister, is a perfect musical prodigy, and
her vocal solos delighted all. The Clab
also gave several violin selections, and
their renditions. of Scotch and Irish airs,
as also the Moody and Sankey hymns,
were really splendid. At the close; of
the entertainment Mr. S. G. Mc-
Caughey, preaident of the Institute, end
the Mayor and Reeve expressed their
satisfactien with the entertainment, and
while regretting that the audience was
- not large, promised that should the
Club return they would be greeted by
a crowded house. Mr. Charles Kelly,
who was advertised to be present, was
una.veidably detained, but his place was
well filled by little Doretta..
THE NEw HEBRIDES Mi8sto.N.—The
Rev. Mr. Amend addressed a large con-
gregation in the Presbyterian church' on
Sunday evening Iast. For thirteen years
Mr. and Mrs. Annelid have been actwe-
ly engaged in mission work in connec-
tion with the New Hebrides mission.
This mission comprises. the group, of
islancte in the Pacific i ocean known as
the Hebrides. The inhabitants of, all
these 'islands were originally cannib ls,
't
but now through the influence and in-
structions of missionaries a consider-
able portionnf the people are nominally,
at least, Christine and haye abandoned
their Pagan religion and barbarous prac-
tices,' On some of the islands', however,
the missionaries have, es yet, secured only
a. very slight footing, and a great majori-
ty of the natives areastill innnersed in
heathen darkness. The smallest island of
this group has . -a population of about one
thousand, and the largest about ten
thousand. For the first three years Mr.
Armand was laboring among the canni-
bal. population but for the last ten years
his lot has been cast on the island of
Aneitune The present pcipulation of this
ieIand is about one thousand, of whom
nearly the whole are now able to read
the ;•!;;acriptares in their own language,
and have adopted the Christian. religion.
Oa this island are seven churches end
thirteen school houses. These were
an erected by the netiees and are sup-,
ported by them, and besides they
cotieribute Lconsiderable to ae.sist their
brethren on the neighboring islands.
This- great change from absolute baibar--
ism to comparative civilization has been
Itec.:()11.1 plished through the instramentaA-
ity of the Gospel within the last twenty
year. On this island there are two
inissioneriet besides some thirteen native
preachers and teachera. The difficulties
besettingiuissionary work in these islanda
mey be jiidged from the facts stated - by
Mr.. Almand. Eaeh island has a differ:
eat language of its awn, ,and before the
missionaries can do- anything they
have first to learn the language entirely
by squad, as there is no written alpha -
_bet, The Scriptures have then to be
translated into the native tengue and
the natives have to be taught to read
, and understand them. Tiiewesk- ie emcee
sexily a slow antr disoouraging one, and
it is rendered doublyi so by the super-
stitions and prejudices of the people,
but, notwithstanding thesedrawbacks,

before much impression or progress can
be made in a new field. The natives
are of black color, of the negro species,
and hi their native state are m a deplor-
able condition poverty, 'vice and crime
being the distinctive features While
Mr. Amend was, laboring at instruct'''. g
the men and prenching to them, Mrs.
Amend was eqnally actively engaged
with the women., They expect to re-
turn about the end of the present year
or the beginning of next, and when they
go back they will have a new field of
labor on another island of the group.
The discourse was both interesting and
instructive and showed the great sacrifice
which these noble men and women
make for the cause of the gospel,
who leave comfortable homes and civiliz-
ed surroundings to brave the discomforts
of tropical climes and the dangers
of living anaceig savages to carry
the Gospel to the heathen. They
are deserving a far more sympathy,
support and encouragement than they
generally receive.

PRESENTATION.—On Friday evening
Mr. john Hoar was rather surprised to
see *such a number assembled at his
home for choir practice, but more aston-
ished when the assembly resolved itself
into the form of a presentation party,
and !Miss S. Blair, on behalf of the
Methodist church, presented him with a
purse containing a neat . sum, accom-
panied by a very touching address, read
by John Clark. The presentation was
made in acknowledgment of his!
having , faithfully acted as leader
of I the choir for some twelve
years. Long ere this the congregation
intended to show their thanks for his
services, but now the time seemed "ripe
for action." Although taken by sur-
prise, Mr. Hoar replied in an earnest,
exemplary manner, thanking them for
their kindness, but assuring them of his
being well paha by Him who rewards
justly those NA° are Working in His
service. A very pleasant evening was
spent in music and games, and all re-
turned to their' homes hoping that he

in the church. of God, and dwelling on
the lvaried character of that work, fitting

the faculty of depicting each scene as it
appeared to himself. Hearty thanks were
tendered him at the close of the lectuae.
