After the turkeys, duel* and fowl had been quietly picked and the dessert enjoyed, the Union church choir started the musical portion of the programme. I'Iere it is almost unnecessary to say that the singing was sweet and much applauded. Reeve Jno Cox being called to the chair presided therein most effectively. 1)r. Ure of Goderich, and Rev. Mr. Hill' of Hayfield delivered pertinent ' ad- dresses which were much appreci- ated by the large audience present. The big day's proceedings will make the 5thof 'November 1859 over memorable.

A very pleasant evening was spent at Bethel at the' Thanksgiving service of last week. Tho meeting being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Harris who gave sotne interesting remarks about our country of Can- ada. The choir also favored the large congregation with some selec- tions suitable for the occasion ; also did Miss Vanstone favor them with' ono of her recitations. The meet- ing dispersed after singing the doxology. L -el pl., The bloods of this burg had a pancake social last Friday. I am sorry to say that it was not as preeminently successful as the noble lineage of the promoters would have led one to expect. The instrument- al music and the Porter Hill bellows could not strike the right key note, consequently there was not that harmonious discord of sweet sounds, as our literary friend Joseph May- wood Esq., 1). C: would say. It baffled even the ingenuity of little Jack to attune matters to the taste of the highly cultured elite who graced the occasion with that digni- fied hauteur which at once attests true nobility of soul; Ah, yes, it might have been better, but thou what could one expect when our talented musicians, J. McCauley, J. Linklater and D. McDougall were only con- spicuous by their absence. How- ever, Mr. Mayweed, who acted as chairman, was a host in himself, and though he gave us a little of the same old lroie,, stuff, yet take him all in all 'iia' not often we shall look upon his like.

BEACOM. The flowers in the garden are droop- ing, The leaves on the trees turning red, The' fruits- of the fields have been garnered The birds from our woodlands have sped. The noise of our reaping is over, The time of fruit gathering is here But the great reaper, Death, with his harvest, Is busy all times of the year. He has called from our midst one more loved one, To join the great throng gone before, To dtvell in the mansions celestial l'o bear pain and sorrow no more. She has gone from this world to a Netter, Our loss is her infinite gain, Though our sorrow is great, we are hoping ?hut we will her meet once again. We feel we will miss the clear loved one- Iler parents, her sisters, her friends. In the bloom of her youth came the summons, To-entera life that ne'grends. our Lord to himself has her taken, \1'e lcnow that 'tis all for the best. 'then let us live faithful, that wo may Beet her in that land of the blest. • Blyth There was no service iu the Presbyterian church on Sunday. Dr. Tamblyu of Wingham was in town on Monday. Mr. W. Shane returned from hil, visit to Detroit ou Friday. W. Davies returned from a flying visit to Toronto ou Friday. Mr. Joe Helfrou left here after a short visit for his home in Detroit, on Monday.

Stuclor who has boon working iu Gidley's tailoring es• tablishment for soruo time past left for his home in New Hamburg on Tuesday. We aro given to understand that OW, townsman Mr. Robert Howard has purchased the old Methodist church property in this village for $150. Wo were pleased to see that •Mr. W. Cockerline has so far recovered from his relapse as to he able for the first time to take a walk up town on Monday. Mi'. John Howard and family who Caine from old England about a year and a half ago left •this station ou Monday morning with his wife and family. A large. number of friends which they had made during their short stay hero accompanied them to the station to wish them God speed and a safe voyage over. On,Sunday morning a very large congregation was present at tho. dedication of the Methodist church, the Rev. Mr. Richardson of Goder- ich preaching the dedication sermons Iu the afternoon another large congregation was present when the,,, Rev. Mr. Scott of Wingham was the preacher. In the evening the con- gregation was immense, many hav- ing to go away it' being impossible to give them a seat. Rev. Mr. Howell preached a very earnest and eloquent sermon which , was listened to with marked attention by the immense congregation. The collection at each service of the day was handsome ; there was also sub- scribed a large sum for the Purpose of building a shod. The members of this church are to be congratulat- ed on their grand success. On Thursday afternoon the open- ing of tho now and handsome Meth- odist church in this village was held at 2 p.m.- Long before the hour. appointed crowds of people were moving towards 'the hanc:3ome new edifice. When tho time had arrived for commencing service the building was crowded to its utmost capacity. Great disappointment was felt at the absence of Rev. Dr. Potts, who was expected to preach as announc- ed, but after an explanation from the paator and that they had anoth- er able man, Rev. Dr. Griffin, to take his place, the large congrega- tion seemed more reconciled. Sev- eral other ministers and our local ministers were also present. The rev. gentleman took for his text 137 Psalm, 5, 6 verses, from which ho preached a powerful and eloquent discourse, which was eagerly listen- ed to by the large congregation. After the service a beautiful dinner was provided by -the ladies in the basement of the church and it was well patronized. In the evening a grand platform meeting was hold in the church, where excellent address- es were given by different ministers. The fine choir of the church ren- a�� R ly th. dered some excellent music during the aftoruouu and evening. A large :meow, of money and new subscriptions were contributed dur- ing' the day, which almost extiu guishod the debt. Sanuncrhill. Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Kitty drove over to Mr. Jos. Curry's iu Goder- ich 'I'p. on 'Thanksgiving day. Quite a number from here went to the shooting Match at Holmes ville and nearly all of them "bagged some game." Rev. W. Craig, B. D., of Clinton, addressed the Orangemen in. the Episcopal church bore on the eveniug of the 5th of November. He took as his text Acte,XXII, 28 and delivered .one of the most practi- cal and convincing addreases it was ever our privilege' to listen. to on such an occasion. The essence of his remarks might be summed up iu the line "Britons never will be slaves"; and the history which he brought to bear on his remarks went to show that Britons .had always resisted any interference with their rights and were gener- ally successful. He dealt ably and patriotically with the Jesuit 'ques- tion, the Separate Schogl question, the "temporal power" question, the first British church question, and the state of unhappy Ireland, and from them deduced lossons highly useful to all at Ole present time. The address took 50 minutes iu de- livery and tlio large audience pres- ent listened with earnest attention until its close. After the address all repaired to the hall where a bounteous repast consisting of oysters, geese, ducks and turkeys, &c.,,,,with pies and cakes in endless number and variety were partaken of. Tho table reflected great credit ou the lady. who made the arrange- ments for the supper. After supper the younger ones brought in a musician and tripped the light fan• tastic for a few hours and than dis- persed well pleased with the even- ing's varied entertainment.

When the announcement of your Port Albert scribe was read here declaring the determination of the people of our northern suburb to do or dig in the attempt to secure the extension of the C. P. R. to that burg, it struck us with an awfully silent ,dull thud, but not silent that the real estate brokers here did not perceive it, and it had a temporary effect in lessening pro- perty values. But it was only tem- porary. For our town is so fast as- suming importance as a manufactur- ing centre that with a choice of two chipping points by rail or water, at either Goderich or Porn Albert, it was soon felt that the Port Albert railway would be a godsend rather than otherwise. We have already two blacksmith shops, a carriage and waggon factory, a large horse and cattle market and stock yards, and it is rumored that a largo whole- sale and general store will be started here in a short time. We have also a planing mill, door and sash factory where hammer and plane and saw aro kept humoring and buzzing day and night. This week wo welcome back our old resideute Mr. and Mrs. Ilorton who have been residing at Goderich during the past year. They could not longer endpre th3 quint of the county town.
