A memorable occaelon in the history of Knox Church, 13luevale, took place on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 15th,. when, having cleared their fine new church edifice of debt, the membere, adherents and Mende of the congre- gation gathered to rvitneee the burn- ing of the mortgage. The event was celebrated by an oyster supper in the sohoolrooru of the church, at the con - elusion of which the ceremony of hum- ing of the mortgage took place in the auditorium, which was filled by a large and interested audience. Rev.. Crawford Tate, pastor of the congre- gators, was the master of ceremonies, and after an opening chorus by the choir, he introduced the subject of the evening by giving a brief review of the history of the congregation whieh was first orgonized in the year 1850, so that the present year is the Diamond Jubilee of the church. The early ser- vices were held in the log houses of the settlers, then in the village echool house which was latey turned into a residence which now stands to the northeaet of the church. In 1800 a frame church was erected which stood till'the present structure was built at a cost of $8,000, entailing a great deal of sacrifice, many hard days labor and much generosity on the part of the people, but which haswell repaid their efforts by the pleasure and service, it has rendered by its coovenience and beauty. Mr. Tate then asked Mre. Thynne and Mr. Jas. Elliott, two of the oldest members of the congregat- ion to come forward and take seats at the table on which stood a silver tray and match holder. Mr. Elliott in re- turning thanks for the honor done Mr. Thynne and himself humorously suggested that the honor was due to the fact that he and Mr. Thynne were the best looking couple in the congregation. Mr, P. S. MacEwen re- presenting the Trustees, then prepared the mortgage for burning which was held on the silver tray by Mre. Thynue while Mr. Elliott applied the match set the document on fire and as it burned away the congregation rose and sang "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." At the conclusion of the ceremony. Mr. Robt. Black, chair man of the Board of Managers. was called forward and in a few pleasant words presented the silver tray and match -holder to Mrs, Thynue and Mr. Elliott pespectively on behalf of the congregation. Each article was en- graved with the following inscription: d WIN0111.11 MARKETS (Correct up till Wednesday noon,) Wheat. new,..,....,,,,, 1 02 to 105 Flour, per cwt., patent.. 3 75 to 3 75 Flour, per cwt., family.. 3 15 to 3 30 Bran, per ton 25 00 to 20 00 Shorts, per ton .......
