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.

is coesiderable enquiry from local bu.tchers
