There was quite a crowe attracted to the Town Hall last Wednesday evening for the purpose of seeing* the much - talked -of "broom drill" which was given in connection with the. Presbyterian Sunday School Christmas Tree. The sixteen young ladies who took part in this looked decidedly charming in their military dress and. the accuracy they displayed in goine•°through. the various revolutions, fromthe intrioate "serpon. tine movement" to the simple "right about turn," showed that there must have been an immense amount of ar- duous labor undergone by them, as well as a great deal of painstaking by their instructor. As a number of people were unable to be present that evening and aS same wanted to seo it again, the young ladies intend holding a bread and butter social in the Town Hall, on Thursday, Jan. 3rd, at which besides the drill there will be plenty of music, recitations, readings, etc. Bayfield. 1.15a*hiug ****Pletl*"' and will narnesief these nominated, tho Mayer, te31"1. in aiewfb-Fze whl it Reeve and Peputy Poem being eleeted pected Gederieli will be sukplied acduawava.,_:43.yot. white, **WY of P1111;/ WateX "gable heRe ad; .eve, Me3furchlin t; oputv puriteses, drawn frona it depth of u.
