The Foresters' entertainment last
Wednesday evening was a pronounced
success in every respect. From begin-
ning to end the program was of a high
order. Mr. Fax, as usual, delighted the
audience. He has always a repertoire
of new songs, while his personality on
the stage never grows old, so that his
last visit to any place is always more
welcome than the first. Miss Kate
Strong added, if possible, tosher popu-
larity here. 'Her numbers were well
chosen end given with splendid effect,
her rich contralto voice fairly carrying
the audience with it. The Watson
Family Orchestra rendered excellent
music, but they excel as vocalists, "Lar-
board Watch," by Miss Watson and Mr.
Friend, richly deserving the hearty en-
core it received, while Mr. F. rendered
"The Holy Friar," and other selections
in a manner which would do credit to
any stage. Miss. Cargill, of Fordwich,
proved to be a very pleasing elocution-
ist with a clear voice and the power to
lose herself in the character she is as-
suming for the - time, a trait so often
lacking even among professionals. Misses
Brawn and Staples won golden opinions
fee their magnificent selections on the
piano: It Would be difficult to find
amateurs who can interpret the difficult.
Masters with- more precision or with a
fuser touch than these young ladies,.and
they fairly won the rounds of applause
they received. Mr. Neelands, of Wing -
ham, occupied the chair in an able
meemer. To say that the -attendance
was large is putting it very miklly. The
hall .hras filled at a .quarter past seven,
arid fromehthen, until eight the ushers
had their halide full in getting -the
holders of reserved tickets into their
places. Fully :100 were turned away
unable to get into the hall at all. A little
over -$90 -was realized.s1
D. D. G. M. Brb. Campbell, of Listo-
wel, visited the Masonic Lodge in this
village on Monday evening. -
aMr. R. Black entertained a housefull
of Gorriefriends one evening this week.
Rev. Mr. Carter, of the Congregational
church circuit, is moving his family to
Gorrie this week, taking _rooms in the
McLaughlin -brick block. We thushave
four resident ministers in the village,
although we, regret to hear a rumor,
that one of them -will shortly be removed,
which we hope will prove unfounded.
The preliminary steps arebeing taken
towards establishing a.Mechanics' Insti-
tute in Gerrie. One or two meeting
havebeen held, 8,11d6.p6titioR circulated
which alreadreontains nearly 60 nanies.
It is hoped the scheme will be far enough
adVanced to secure a grant from the
government during the coming ee84013.
A Meeting will be held -in the Town Hall
at 8 o'clock on Monday evening next.
Rev. Mr. Torrance goes to Wiarton on
Saturday, intending to preach the an-
niversary sermons in connection with
the Methodist church in that town on
S'unday: . The visit will be a pleasant
one to him as he was formerly stationed
there as pastor. In his absence Rev.
T. P. Perry 'will preach in the Metho-
dist &inch here in the 'morning and

A gang of villagers with Mr. Smith as

this week. As it was not fit to cut yet,
they shoveled the snow off to let it

1883. Now, Mr. Editor, is it not true
that to delude means to mielead, deceive
or beguile ; I think it does ; and if so I
think yet that I did not charge my
friend wrongfully when I pointed out
that he was a party to transactions that
was the cause of the delusion that land
others were laboring under. He denies
the charge and I am willing to let him
and others may judge. Now before I
close I wish to point out a couple of
funny things that appear in his last
letter, His own words: "then he asks
me to take back the assertion that I was
not responsible for the years 1890 and
1891; I say so still," Now I never asked
him to do anything of the kind. I
should think myself a perfect ninnie if I
did ; it would not answer my purpose.
His own words again found in his first
letter : "I have been responsible for
rents of hall for the two above named
years -1890 and 1891. Would I ask him
to take this back! there is in it to much
fun. Mark and take his own words
again meaning me "He says al_sceatthit
the caretaker's salary, at $7 per year,
for six years would be $42. Where does
he get six years from 1886 to 1891." I
never said I did, and hesknows that, or
if he does not he ought to. Will he say
that there is not six years between the
year 1885 and the year 1892, though I
have not hitherto in my writings said
there was even that. Is it not fun to
see a man of Mr. C's assumptive char-
acter condescend to such a childish
question. Now, in conclusion, sir, I wish
to say that after the change made in
the figures of my first letter, which were
of little importance after my second one
appeared before the public that I would
not recommend a commission as Mr. C
suggests, not fearing the result, but would
prefer that if Mr. Clegg wishes to load
up his heavy guns and fire away at T.
K. B. he may do so and I will try to de-
fend the old initials though I see no good
results to proceed from a further discus-
sion a' the parties interested in the
matter have been looking on and have
formed their conclusions as to thes
antagonizing parties and the cause and
know who will win in the end. You&

From X. Y. Again.
Editor Gazette.—There is an old say-
ing used to the effect that "necessity
knows no law," and I believe it to be
true. Now I find that Mr. W. H. Clegg
has found something to say in reference
to my letter of the 28th ult., which he
winds up by saying "an enemy we can
see we can fight but the one that dwells
in darkness is the worst enemy that
mankind has to contend against." Now
if this statement has any allusion to
myself personally it cannot be obscure
darkness, for I perceive that by the use
of his shortness of vision it was not a
phantom he saw through it but a real
T. K. which he affixes to his letter of
last week. Now sir, I perceive that my
friend ,,Mr. Clegg has used the word
"fight" somewhere in his correspondence
and raised the black flag to its highest
point and says I must "without con-
ditions," or words to that effect. Now
if he calls this discussion a fight and
that term pleases him he can have it so,
but I would scorn to say fight to or with
a friend, and that name friend is what
I like to call Mr. Clegg by, and may I
believe such to be the case -and continue
