light excursion on Monday evening in the Bay and
round to the new light-house, and as the evening was
tit.e it was thoroughly enjoyed. On Tuesday notice

the disapisdistmeut of a great many.

During his late residence in the Lymington Circuit

generally. The Rev. W. I'. Gill, his predecessor,

POPULAR LITERARY ENTERT,INIEZNT.-00 Tueeday
evening Mrs. fluid wick (Hiss Falkner, of Edinburgh/.
reader and elocitionid., gave one of her popular
literary entertaiuments in the National Schoolroom.
The following wax the programme of the evening :
Part I.—" Katy, Queen of Scots." H. G. Bell; " The
Beautiful Snow," sigourney ; "Curtain Lecture," D.
Jerrold ; "Edinburgh after the Battle of Flodden,"
AYioun "The Belle." K. A. Poe. Part II.—" May
Queen." Tennyson ; " The Pride"( the Troop," Clement
Scott; "The Wreck of the Hesperus," Longfellow.
A somewhat novel coincidence occurred in the course
of the evening. At the time the piece by E. A. Poe
(" The Bells") was being rendered. the Minutest Bell ;
Ringers (who had heguo their practice) struck out •
sharp round, ii ing much to the effect of the piece,
which of Reif was enough t reach the feeling and
hearts of the hearers; i• WAS considered by several as
a very high dander-1 of artistic merit. The grave and
gay piece, were rendered with very good taste; her
manner and style were good and clear, the whole
entertainment being pure ad elevating, and was
deserving of • much larger audience. A collection
waa made during the interval, the mode of admission
being by free ticket only. It is supposed there mutt
have been some mio.ulderstanding or insufficient
publicity given to ensure • large audience. Only
about 50 persons availed themselves of the treat, and
the two schools being throw l into one room, caused
the few present to look even lege than they really
were. However, those p.eseut thoroughly appreciated
Mrs. Chadwick'. efforts, and considered it excellent in
every respect.

Prizes were offered for competition to Sunday school
scholsrs and parent.. The weather was most doubtful,
and not at all conducive to a succeesful gathering,
threatening showers falling during the afternoon. At
5.30 the weather began to improve, end the sun shone
out oplendidiy. The show was excellently displayed
on three 1004 tables (one in thy centre, and one on
either side of the booth). running through the whole
length. On the c-ntre table was • first-rate display of
flowers and fruits, not for c ,ropeition, moat

Glyn, Mies Donne, Mr. Hart, also Masers. Russell and
Son, nurserymen, and several others of the congrega-
tion. The display consisted of palms, fuchsias,
geraniams, coleus, ferns, grapes, plums,
_packs.,

were grrwtly admired Lady Gibson Craig offered
three prixw; for needlework, Sirs. C. Webb, of North.

worthy of commendation.

Sr. JOHNS CHOIR.
To the RdiAor.

Sir,—Allow me, through the medium of your
valuable paper, to inform the congreeation of :it.
John's, Wimb woe, and the public that the uumerited
remarks made by the Vicar in the coure. of his
sermon on Suuday evening last were perhotly untrue.
The choir is composed of thoroughly respectable
young papal' who know bow to conduct themselves
in a place of worship, and w add think it beneath
themselves to interrupt the worship of others. The
choir, under the conductorship of Messrs. Eaton and
Wareham, have really szomided the average of
voluntary choir., the werviese baring vise remarkably
well, as their especial object has been to promote the
glory of G ci, and to render assistanoe to the congre-
gation in their praises of Him. And it is with much
satisfaction we are able to my that their endeavours
have been hlAily apprsciated, SO that on several
omissions votes of thanks have been given to them for
their services. In con dusion, let it suffice to say that
the congregation nearest the choir did not see on this
or any other occasion anything to call for inch an un.
just rebuke from the pulpit.—Hoping that a double
portion of the wisdom of Solomon will be given to the
'Vicar, who would "rather have no choir at all," so
that we also may be able to my " • greater than
Solomon is here,"

A M2llBlll or TILE CHOLL

TO ac ldaor.

Sir,—Allow me to say in your columns that some
rather disagreeable dissension exists between the
minister of the church and the memb re of the choir,
which looks rather ominous lam sanguine enough to
believe that if the members of the choir will only take
everything *inflected therewith in its proper light,
and cultivate Christian-like and charitable di.positions,
with such a clergyman and gentleman an the Rev.
J. B. Watson at their head, "sucoss. 'and "harmony"
must be theirs in the future. rusting the w“un.l
will soon be healed, I am, Mr. Editor, yours music dly,
