MMES.—Owing to the deplorable state of the roach and the windy, disagreeable weather, people from a distance did not at- tend Mr. d, W. Bengough's entertainment in the Foresters' hall last • Friday evening,. and consequently the hall was not quite full. If the weather had been fine, no doubt many would have been turned away. Mr. l Bengough: commenced his entertainment 'ay saying, " Ladies and gentlemen, owing to ! the excellent condition of the roads, espec— ially the sidewalks, which I see you keep scraped off so nicely no doubt you are af=raid of being fined if you do noteel am glad to see so many of you present." He been gave a very humorous- and effective temperance lecture, illustrated by a draw- ing, to the small human boy, who was so well represented on Friday evening. And -for the small human girl he recited, " Little • • Orphan Arnie," as Jessie Alexander would do it. During the: evening he gave several of his own poems, which have appeared in the newspapers lately, all of them contain. ing noble sentiments, Among there was the poem written oa the. " Bonnie Briar Bush." Mr. Bengough sang but one solo; an imitation of Mr. Whitney Mookridge's ' rendering of " Tell her I love her," which was heartily applauded, And the audience would have lilted at leash another. His drawings of local men were Ifa little disap- pointing to some, while to others they were a source of great amusement. The enter- tainment throughout was very refined, elevating and humorous, and possessed this rare quality, that when one went home and thought it all over, the better one liked it. l+.verybody was glad of the opportunity of -even seeing one so well known by news. paper reputation as Mr. Bengough, 6i[e hope he will be herein under more favorable circunmstanoes, The Presbyterians - of Eadiee Blnevale have extended a tall. to Mr. West, at present in Toronto, The box social at Mr. Thomas Stewart's, on Wednesday evening of last week, was well attended, considering the weather. -----Mrs.. d.
