CI OR,aL Soc)uizy.— The officers of
e the Choral Society are to be comnien-
clad for theit'-efforts to bring together
• the Musical people of Clinton in the
way they are doing. They_ have se-
cured the services of Mr R. el. McDon-
ald, of London, to come every Thurs-
day evening and take charge of the
society; we invite all lovers of music to
meet him. They hope to pay the con-
ductor by the proceeds of concert,
and thus give to all who attend free
instructions, with the exception of 20
cents to pay current expenses. We
are sure this will meet with genuine
approval. The music has beeh selected
for this concert and comprises some
very fine choruses. A notice in
another column gives full particulars
of the society.

store for several days a block of ice,
in the cexltre of which is a very pecu-
liar formation. It is a spiral column
'shout eightinches in length, very
pretty, and looks as if the bottom of
several tumblers had been broken off
and thea joined together again by the
steins. It is one of nature's curiosities.

day, in the 83rd year of his age. He
Was for 85 years Preaiden t of the North

MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED POR.
--One evening last week a number of
• young ladies gave aleap-year sleighing
party to a number of their gentles en
f7riende--taking a trip out the Maitland
concession. Baring the fact that the
gentlemen had to jump out in the snow
severaltimes, the trip out was un-
eventful. After enjoying themselves
until an early hour of the morning,
they started forborne, but were upset
in .the farmer's yard, breaking the
sleigh; the driver declined to start un-
til daylight, and the crowd had no al-
ternative but to go back in the house,
"And they played all night
Till broad daylight
And then came homein the morning."
