It is the intention of the club to join the Ontario Lacrosse As- sociation and compete for the inter- mediate championship of Southern On- tario, which will give them quite a number of matches and make a lively season for them. THE BAND ENTERTAINMENT. —The entertainment given on Tuesday evening by a number of the young men of the town for the benefit of the band. was fairly well attended although the house was not crowded. The entertainment, on the whole, was very good and parts of it were very entertaining. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was Very enjoyable and many of those who took part displayed exeellent musical ability. The drill also, was well executed and showed careful train- ing, while the club swinging was equal to anything ever seen in the town. The costumes, also, were very grotesque. Although we have no great fancy for " burnt cork " shows and we' do not think it a good thing for young men to give themselves much to that sort of thing, yet we must say this entertain- ment was at least amusing and there -was nothing Said or clone which could give offence to even the most fastidious. STILL IN TROLTBLE.—The Stratford Beacon makes the following mention of a former clergyman of this county. It says: " James Johnston, one of the trustees of the Cierleton-street Presbyter- ian church, Toronto, was eharged at the Toronto police court the other day with obstructing a clergyman, and using in- sulting language to Alexander Oliphant, another trustee. The case was adjourned till May lth. It appears that Johnston, ev- Ito keeps the keys of the church, re- fused to open the doors on Sunday, the IOUs of April, and when Rev. Daxid Mann, the pastor, made his appearance, warm words ensued. Johnston objected to the reverend gentleman's style of preaching, but the two other trustees favored it, hence the tro,oble- The Stratford PresbYtery will still have a lively recollection of the scenes between this ihlr. Mann ancl some of his parish- ioners in GTanton." We fency, also, that a good many people in and about Walton, as well as some of the readers of DIE EXPOSITOR, will also still have a "lively recollection " of the same gentle- man, as some ten or -eleven years ago he had considerable difficulty with his con- gregation there, and both sides gave free vent to their troubles through our columns. Mr. Mann seems to have been born for trouble. C OD ' HORsES.—Mr. • Thom s Simp- son; f McIiillopi has sold a two ye4r old filly, for $ 95: A. Crich a yearling geldin , for $102 ; R.
