lag last on the occasion of a parish entertaintowt, '
which had bees arranged by Mr. Gould and Mr. W.
J. Goad. The admission was " free gratis." which
no doubt tended in no small degree to the liberal
patronage. A first-rate programme had beets arranged,
crousisting of songs, recitations, and Instrumental
music, and several of the items were reedited with no
ordinary degree of ability. The " chair" was oompied
by the Rase. H. Estrin, who, in his opening remarks,
claimed for Mr. Gould and his eon that credit due to
them for the efforts they had MOO to render the affair
a nooses.. The rev, gentleman intimated that Mrs.
Everett would be unable to perform hr stated part In
the programme owing to • bad throat, boot he promised
them a fair substitute. An overture, "II Taller° d,"
