varieties of rice and other grains, and
many beautiful specimens of native

stoneware, sandals, etc. In the collec-
tion
is a magnificent table spread,
worked with silk and fancy cord, that

SOCIAL GATHERING AND PRESENTA-
TION,—Orr Friday evening last there
was a happy gathering of many of the
young men of the town to do honor to
two of their friends and associates.
Within the hospitable shades of the
Rattenbury Hotel was the scene of the
pleasing affair. J. A. Allan. had just
returned from his wedding tour and
was leaving again on Monday morning
to take up his residence in Toronto;
Ogle Cooper in the course of five days
was to be united in the bonds of wed-
lock; hence these events were thought
wortthe "bos,"as
heyhstyledof 1ethemselon ves, Luncheon
was first partaken of, after which Mr
Brydone was voted to the chair. In a
few brief but well chosen remarks the
chairman stated the object of the gath-
ering, and started the ball a -rolling by
calling on A. Porter. Mr Porter eulo-
gised the good qualities possessed by
the guests, and on behalf of the com-
pany gathered together, presented
them each with a couch. Continuing,
the speaker said that he was bound to
confess that the piece of furniture here
presented did not adequately convey
the esteem in which the two gentlemen
were held by those who knew them,
but were an earnest, representation of
their respect for them. The recipients
gracefnllyacknowledged the ifts,stat-
ing they would especially value them
for the pleasant associations they
would be a reminder of. To keep up
good cheer the chairman then stated
that a number of toasts were on the
list, and in replying each in their turn
would be required to make a speech,
sing a song or tell a story. In this re-
spect all proved equal to the occasion,
and many werethe kindly expressions,
good were the songgs and funny were
the tales that delighted the company
throughout the remainder of the even -
When the hour of midnight had
arrived the company joined bands
round and sang Auld Lang Syne, thus
bringing to a close an enjoyable even-
ing long to be remembered by those
who took print in it.

the other at twentyafilye cents. We don't like to

merit. We think the advantage is yours if you need the goods.
