About 8 o' lock the rumble of wheels denoted the 4rriviug of guests,laden with gifts and rea, y to trip the light fantastic toe. Bot guests and presents were very nu erous, and all spent a delightful tim until the small hours of merning warned all that in this world there must be parting. Both Mr, aind Mrs. Haas cordially thanked these wire gave so I berally, and promieed thein another hopI when years shall bring around the cele ration of the crystal wedding. - Cot HE CONCERT. -The concert gieen in Car no's hall, on Wednesday - evening, u-ndler the auspices of the Mechanist' In- stit te, was a success in every respect.

Mr of an of gif fin he lYlounteastle was born on the 28th anuary, 1804, in Londona England, educated in all the accomplishments er day. This delicately nurtured, ed woman in 1832 left a home of re- ment and luxury to emigrate, with young husband and two small chil- dren, to the wilds of Canada. , This was th year of the cholera, and, on their wa up the St. Lawrence, the crew of the boat teking fright, landed them and sorne others, in a marsh by the river side. A heavy rain was fallitig, and they took refuge in a deserted barn, where they remained for ssveral days, as lee great was the fear of the cholera neemoney weuld induce the passing boat- men to take them on board. Eventually they reached Dundas, where they buried their youngest child, whoee death was due to exposure. They then chartered a schooner to take them to Toronto to get medical advice for their remaining child, who was very'ill. Here they remained for several weeks, and deceased was wont to speak in the higheet terms of the kindnese of the late! Dr. Itolph, who -attended her boy.

About this time the councilors seemed to realise that they were simply going round in- a cir- cle, and that by the way things were working they might be required to eat their Christmas dinners in the county town and not get a Clerk after alt. So they resolved to change the system of voting, and adopted the following pion : That a ballot be tktii on all the candi- dates ; that the one receiviog the low- est number of votes in eaoh ballot be dropped and that the balloting be continued until some -one receives a clear majority of ail the votes cast. This gave a glimmer of daylight. The first ballot resulted as follows: Lane, 18; Holman, 12; W. T. Whiteley, 6; Hays,5; Strachan, 4; Dulmage, 3; Bur - gem' ; 1; Savers, 1.
