Miserotteah MEEtnece—The annual
Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Meeting
• was held in the Wesleyan Church, Sea -
forth • on the evening of Menday- last.
There was a fair attendance: The chair
was occupied by Mr. Jcihn Beattie. The
Rev. Mr. Price, pastor of the congrega-
tion here, read the annual report. Able
• addresses, on the subject of missions and
miesion work, were 'delivered by the
• Rev. Messrs Watson, of Teeswater,
and Rice, of Dungannon. . Appropriate
music was furnished for the occasion by
• the claureh choir. •
• JUVENILE - CONCERT. -- Mr. J. W.
I Ward s children s concert came off in
Knox's Hall, lest Friday evening, 13th
inst. The attendance was rather -small,
a fact to be regretted, not only because
Mr. Ward was -deserving of. a Eull house,
but because those who were absent lost a
rare musical treat: The performance of
• the children, none of whom. seemed to be
older than twelve or fourteen years,
was in, the highest degree satisfac-
tory, and reflect:a much credit on Mr.
Ward as, a teacher, and trainer_ Mr.
Ward himself is a singer of considerable
• merit, and favored the audience with
several pieces, which were well received.
The little lady who sang "The Bell gees
ringing fee Sarah," and "Coming thro'
the Rise," did remarkably well, evincing
no little talent in singing and acting.
Mr. Jones, of.Harpurhey, presided at the
melodeon. The only objectionable fea-
ture of the entertainment was the ex-
treme length of the programme ;—even a
• Tong
thing may become tedious by too
long drawing out. We understand it is
Mr. Ward's intention to give another
concert with his ctass before the winter
is over, when tyre trust- he may have a
more generous patronage than on Friday
night.

RAILWAYS.—I-The people of Jamestown
are going to have a mass meeting this
Week to try to induce the Wellington,
Grey and Bruco Railway to' take a end:
towant their fl urishing village—of threel
houses. They can already see in agi-
nation the cars stopping at their station,
and hear the eonductor announcing
Jamestown,—and then they will thval-
low Ainleyvill ; - But they hadbet-
ter wait until we get salt. then! we
will be better seasoned. And if they fail
to get the railway we will grant them a
;bonus of a few barrels of salt to keep
then& for some other purpose. 1
ItEmovaas. Our idd and much res-
pected friend, JaMee Leonard, has re-
moved to -hie new 'stand, which was for-
merly occupied by A. Muir. He has
gone to a great deal of trouble in fitting'
it up. The travelling public would do
-well te patronize him, AB they Will be
sure to meet with every attentiion that
a,Aandlord is capable of bestowing on his
customers. ----Mr. Stretton has again got
hack to his old stand, the place lathly
Occupied' by Mr. Leonard. We hope he
will be well patron' ed by his old cronies.
On Monday, t ed y when Messrs. leeon-
ard and Stretton Moved, they entertain-
ed a large nu bee of their friends ;at a
free lunch.
SALT. --The [greet topic of discussion
for the past week is salt If. you happen
to drop into either a public or priivate
house you are sure to see some one deep
in calcelations relative to salt. Even
school boys talk about it. A conatiy
has been formed to here for the precious
article, ;composed of Meesrs. Holnies,
Armstrong, Livingstone, Lechie and
Smith, parties who are _capable and will-
ing to undertake such an enterprise, and
if they do not find saltit will be because
there is none to be found in Ainleyville.
They seem bent on pushing tie work for-
ward with all possible despatch, and e
pect to be boring by the 10th of Febru-
ary next. It is to be hoped thath ir
:
work will be crowned with success.
—Another correspondent writes s on
on the same subject: Some of out enterpris -
ing men are ma.kinlg, arrangements for the
sinking of a ealtiwell in this village.
Very little is ni
known of it yet, but .1.8
,
Leckie's
name is mentioned in connec-
tion with the enterprise, it is sure to go
ahead.

Mr. Eakin of a beautiful cutter and robe,

the following address :
,
Dear Pastor, AVe have met to -night to
convey our sentiments of warm at-
tachment to you personally, and to
Mrs. Eakin, your partner -in life. As a
man, by XDUr kimeness of heart and af-
fability of manner, you have disarmed
your enemies, end, endeared yourself to
the hearts of yourtieople. As a minister
of the Gospel, we rejoice to believe that
your teachings have been "a lantern to
my friends in the Bible -class ter the old
or young of my congregation. that I re- .
gard every expression of your attachment
to me 'or my family, whether it be in the
form of the kind sentiments expressed in
youraddeess, or in that of e handsome
and substantial cutter and robe, as most
pleasurable. My aim. has ever been to
lead you to the Rock that is higher
than we are." And my earnest prayer
is that you may be enabled with the eye
of faith to
• "Behold the hest, the. greatest gift.
Of everlasting love!
Behold the pkdge of peace below,
And perfect bliss above !"
After the presentation, the company
sat down to a a board groaning under its
load -of choicest temporal gifts, provided
by the I • ies of the company. The par-
ty broke up with expressions of kind re-
gard for h other and for their pastor.

Mr. Bull cle , Was in entire ignorance of
whom bi visitor was, supposing that he
was a st ngerwhospeetended to be buy- -
ing cattl in the neighborhood. About
two wee s afterwards, Mr. Bullock re-
ceived. Ietkr from his uncle informing
him of the character of his visitor, and
thanking him for the kindness lie had
shown to what he thought to be an en-
tire straegen The. mistake -may be accounted for from the fact that it is about
15
years eince Mr.- Bullock had seen his
uncle before, ahd as the -uncle represent-
ed himself as a cattle buyer, it threw
hair enti ely off the track, and the truth
never da red upon him until he received
the lette above referred to.

December, commencing each day sit nine
Ottlock a.m., and was a highly creditable
affair to both teacher and pupils. Mon-

lessons to the pupils, being assis ed by
Rev. Mr: Eakin. of Kippen. There was
a large attendance of parents and ',others
netereated in education. The achool-
house was tastefully decorated. The
pupils, who have been under the tuition
of Mr. McLeod for the past three eyries,
n .
were thoroughly tested in the 'various
branches taught, by . the teacher and
auperintendent, and showed such-hlever-
nees and sound training, as to call forth
the- eulogies of those present. Toward
the close the teacher showed what im-
provement had been made by the seholars
since they Came under his chargee as he
had kept a record of each for the past
three years, indicating the progreis they
had made, ai well as the time they had
attended 'school, after which he deliver-
ed his farewell address. Rev. Mr. Eakin,
superintendent, followed, who :stated
that hegreatlyapproned of Mr. MeLeod's
method, as it gave parents a chance of
seeing the improvement made by their
children, as well as showed whether the
teacher had, done his duty, and that from
what he had seen of Mr. McLeod, late had
no doubt but that he would always suc-
ceed as a teacher, as he seemed to spare
no pains with his pupils. • He regretted
Mr. MeLeod's departure from the School.
Mr.' Eakin then delivered an a,dctrese
upon education, after which $30 Worth
.of prizes were distributed, so that each
• of the pupils secured a handsome prize.
Ali then wended their several ways home-
ward, seemingly well, pleased with the
examination; but regretting the depar-
ture of the teacher.

tion took place on tke evening of the 22nd.

which added greatly to the enliveningof
the performance. . Mr. Martin Suther-
land, teacher, of McKillop, being called
to the chair, after a abort address, called
upon the band for a tune. The pupils
th.en began with their recitations, dia-
logues, and speeches, under the superin-
tendence of their teacher, and so contin-
ued till about eleven o'clock, the band
playing a tune now and then, in fine
style. The pupils _acted, their different
