It is the original manuscript of verses written by a Mr. Ross, addressed to Mr. Charles Wilson, father of Mr. Alex. Wilson, sr., of Silver Creek. These •verses were written on the 27th of October, 1815. The sub- ject of the verses was the death of a brother of Mr. Charles Wilson. He was a. Sergeant in the King's Life Guards and was killed in the battle of Waterloo. The writing is in a beauti- ful, clear, bold .hand, while the literary character of the composition is much In advance of most of the best efforts of the amateur poets of the present day. ' The manuscript, although sotnewha.t discoloured by age, is still in a good state of preservation and the writing is quite clear and distinct and the whole looks as if it might still remain legible for aeven4ty-five years to come.

The pro -gramme consistiug of choruses, quartettes, both vocal end' instrumental and 901110 vocal solos, was an interesting one and well rendered. The excellent menner in which the pupils sang the choruses showed that they had been carefully trained. The piano quartettes and double vocal quartettes were all well rendered as was an instrumental trio. The toy symphony was some What of a novelty, but greatly delighted the audience. The orchestra favored the audience with some fine music. Mrs. Callender, of Brantford, gave two good vocal solos. Dr. E. Hart, one of Brantford's leading bass singers,delight- ed the audience with his fine vocarsolos. The whole affair reflects great credit on the untiring energy displayed by Mr. T. 0. Kemp in getting tip this entertain- ment and the successful way it was carried through. Professor Callender also displayed great skill in the excel- lent way in which/. he carried opt the programme while the admirable manner in which the class carried out their part of the programme shows that they have been well trained and that the plass is doing a good work in cultivating the musical talent of the young people of the town.The stage decorations were very pretty and reflected no little credit on the taste and enthusiasm of the ladies and gentlemen of the class who had the work in hand.

Two weeks ago last Tuesday the deceased left here for Calgary, and he intended going from there by the trail on horseback to Mon- tana. Mr. Dorrance received a letter from him a few days ago from Brandon, saying that he had reached there on the. following Saturday after ;leaving here, and that he had spent Saturday and Sunday with his sister, who resides in Brandon, and on Monday he intended going to see his brother Joseph, and would go from there to Calgary as he originally intended. This was the last word received from him. He was then in the best Of health and spirits. ' Mr. Dorrance had resided in the Northwest about four years, and was engaged' in farming and stock raising. Last apring he left his farm in charge of his brother and went to Montana, where he spent the summer. In December last he came home to visit his father and other rela- tives'and remained here until two weeks ago as formerly stated. He was 22 years of age and was a strong, robust young man, and being Of remarkably, steady and industrious habits was just the kind of man to prosper in a new country. Previous to going to the Northwest, he had been for several years a clerk in the Bank of Commerce in this town, and his bright, social dis- position and affable, obliging manner made him a universal favorite not alone with his more immediate associates but with ll with whom he came in contact. Thesad and sudden news of his death is a severe blow to his father and other relatives and a source of sincere sorrow to their large circle of friends here. Further particulars as to the cause of his death will likely be received in due course.

Your correspondent made a big mistake in saying, "et valuable horse belonging to H. Smith," for if he was , any judge*of a horse he woulcl not want to give over twenty dollars for her. As for dying of heart disease, it was more of a broken heart. I think if it had got less driving by the Hills Green boys and -a little better care its heart would have been all right. —Com. Hensall.
