SOIRTE.—One of the most successful soirees ever held in this village, was held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, on Thursday evening the 3rd Inst. This congregation is in a flourish- ing condition which is largely date to the labors of the earnest, energetic and God-fearing pastor, the Rev. S. Aches- on,.'Although the roads were` some- what muddy, yet the church was liter- ally packed. The good ladies of Kill- een ippen have a reputation for always doing everything in good order, and the pres ent;instance was no exception to the ru.le,as`there was abundance of. every- thing very ,thingin, the shape of refreshments. Oii account of there being no hall, or basement, the refreehments were sery-„ ed in the church and no doubt many object •. to turning the : house of prayer into an eating house, yet inthis case it was unavoidable; sand we hope 'this, defect will be remedied: before long. Mr . Acheson perfornitd . the duties:, of chairman in his. usual able and affable manner. Excellent addresses were de' liveredby the Rev. McDonald of Sc.a forth, the Rev. Martin of Exeter, alai the.Rev. 'Simpson of Brucefield and Eevds: Henderson, Bridgeman, Cook, Cousins and Fear of Hensall. The pro- ceeds of, the evening amounted to nearly see: Offa Sunbeams. lir.

Mr. R. Drysdale was then called to the chair, and after ex- pressing himself, in an, neat little speech, as well satisfied with the day's proceed- ings, called on Rev.
