DRAMATIO.—The membe-s of the Eg-
mond-till° Dramatic Society gave one of
their entertainments to a crowded
house, in Sharp's• Hall, on Wednesday
evening. The talent exhibited by the
amateurslis very noticeable. We 4e
pleased that local merit is sie Well sus-
tained,
THE Signal deprecates the action of
the Globe in publishing the evidence in
the Meledy case, whieh had not came up
in court.' The Signal sas's that it "could
have pliblished more than that two
weeks before, bad it been. so minded."
Of course the Signal knew it before the
Globe; it always does.
ALL'S WELL.—The Globe gives an
account of a man 'whie was missed from
near Baytield about a year ago—which
awakened thc suspicions of the neigh-
bors—tas having turnedoup in Perirtsyl-
venia, after having been hunted up by
a Detective at the wish of the suspici-
ous. The "missing" left because he
couldn't pay his board.
• THE VERY BEST.—Mr. E. Whitney',
will please accept our thanks for a gais,
lox' of the very best Goal Oil we ever us -1
ed. It is almost colorless and .odor-
less, and burns exceedingly bright.
We presume friend Whitney has a
lively idea 'of" the '"dark" path -which
editors generally hale to travel. He
has certainly done 1 is part towards

THE StA.FORTH EXPOSITOR.
ab adults :Young people were prone
to say that could they have seen Christ
on earth, how gladly would they re-
ceive hun, but -to all such he, would
say, that Christ 18 as Willing to receive
them to -night, as, when he said, "Suf-
fer little bildren to come unto me." • '
, Rev. . Kellum said, the present
age was one in which most scrupulous
attention should be attached to incrl
eating ,prineiplea, of Christianity, as
there was so much semi -infidelity
aoroad. • The moral and Christian
character is the oleo to educate for all
honorable position p in life.
Rev. Mr. byre rxpiessed rapch plea-
sure at occupying a position on a plat-
form -which be tonsidered as brOad
as the atonement. • He. held that for a
vigorous and useful Sabbath Schcol,
there were . required, pious officers,
regular attendance, and correct teach-
ing,—.not fearfully dogmatic, but posi-
tive, He considered -Denominational
far preferable to Union Schools, as doe -
trine is the love of the church, and
without its being inculcated, he was at
a loss to know, where the church was
to look for recruits.
At this stage of the proceedings,
Mr. Bill, on behalf of her scholars,
preserted Miss Ilayhurst with a hand-
some Album, accoinpanied with a -few
terse and feelieg remarks, which the
worthy recipient acknowledged in terms
of unexpected pleasure..
Rev. Mr. Williamson endorsed the
greater part of the ideas of the previous
tpeaker, and congratulated the officers
of the ;school on Ls prosperous and
healthy condition.
The proceeding's were interspersed
by singing front the stholars, in a man-
ner which redounded rauch to their
credit and to that ef „Mr. Smith' for
his exertions in training them so ex-
ceedingly well.
• With the usual votes of thanks, a
happy meeting terraine,ted.
