people connected with the Methodist

nuinberwas present, there were not
too meny to there ughlv enjoy them-
selves. All went in for a good time,
and few seemed to corne away without
having it. A feature ot the evening
was the presereation of an easy chair •
each' to Mr and Mrs Aehesen, who are
about to -make their home in Goderich,
by Mr J. Trewartha, and an address
showing the appreciation of their .ser-
vices and the esteem tir which they
are held was read by Mr S. T. Walter,
and which was unavoidably crowded
out. Mr and Mrs Acheson were taken
completely by surprise, knowing no-
thing whatever, about the matter. Mr
Acheson replied briefly, saying that
Ftoldthey were

certainly keeping up their reputation
on the present occasion. The evening
was spent in social chat, genies, etc.
RefreshInents,consisting of oystisre and
other good things, were served, and all
lett-at a. reasonsble hour, wondering
when they might test the size of their
host's new home. We. are .sorry to
