One of the most pleasant surprise parties that we have aver had in this village took place on Friday evening, January 22nd, when, notwithstanding the terribly stormy state of the weather, about sixty of the members and friends of Trinity church' took possession of the residence of Ma McClelland, and after getting conforta- bly settled Rev. Mr. Parke proceeded to read an address to Mass Maggie Me- CIella.ncl, accompanied by a beautiful, set of silverware. The following is thei address: Dams Miss McCorseaen,-We the members and adherents of Trinity church:desire to make you a slight acknowledgment of the high esteem in whic11 you are held, arid to express our grati- tude to you for your untiring devotion in the interests of the church. Since you took charge of the organ you have shown by your unvarying kindness and untiring devotion a zealous loon for the cause of Christ. .White we know that yiehr reward is higher than any earthly praise, yet a -ti feel it our privilege to offer you the accompany - mg pieces of silver, and be, of you to accept them. May you be long spared to aid us in our work, and when our praises are ended here be- low may we join the angelic throng above in singing the praises of Christ our Saviour.
