County Hospital. and after he bad received some little
attention, he went home, refusing to stop there when
he was told it would be necessary to take of
a portion of the hand, for he said be had had
enough off already. Subsequently, however, his
son took him back to the hospital, when he under-
went the amputation of the hand excepting the
thumb, by Mr. Came, surgeon, and is now doing aa
well as can be expected.

EARLY Guidance AssootArtog.—The first of these
reeettnes for this winter's session, in connection with
the Early Closing Avociation, took plain last Friday
evening, at the Guilhall. There was a largo attendance,
notwithstanding that the minimum fee warn raised for
this oessaion to two-penos, a doubling of the duns
being through bolting tbe navitino in the
Town-balL aim J. Fisher took his old poet as
president, aid eooducited the proseedinp with geniality
and in • bsteiness-liko member. Mr. Dayton Smith's
choir Nag several gifts during Up evening, accompanied
by the master on tbe harmosisin, whisk afforded great
pivasiere. The "lion" of the evening was Donstantino
Charles Henry, Earl of Mulveve, eldest son of the
Win-luso of Normanby, of Mulgrave Cantle, near
Whitby, who was en anon ced to give an inaugural oldies&
He is a young man of 21. Ho read ea mimed and
thoughtful paver, esimentially praelisal is its bearings,
wiling the dignity of labour, and urging young men to
do their part in the battle of life manfully, and to avail
themselves of every opportunity for improving them-
selves in body, mind, and spirit, remembering, however,
that the oily sips foundation for improvement is
religioa. Tbe Bev. C. Collier, WA., of Winaheater
gave his lecture on "The life and Poise of St. Swithun. "
He showed that the good old bishop of Winchester led
a ;Pohl and unaseuming life, leaving an impress for
good on the age In which be lived, and be related some
various legends shoat the miracles St. Swithun was
gala to bars wrought. The truselation of his bones
die, belled been dead 110 years, wed which gave rise to
the legend that if its rains on Si Serithno's day it will
rain for 40 day' after, was Tolstoi, and the lectern told
how France and Germany also have their rainy mints,
but, as to St. Swithun, it was provable that it did not
rain on the day on which his boom were removed, and
lb. fable niintosed to hove originated from the bishop
having desired to be buried where the eaves of the
char might drop on his grave. Tha proasedimp were
elated by singing the National Anthem.

UnTAlleil. UT. -A seri!' of three co owls to be given
by to,. J. Robinson and his choir was oommenood last
Thursday evening. at the Guildhall, when there was a large
attendenos. The programme was vaned, and conowised
glees, sentimental soap, duette, and comedy. Of the
performanoes by they choir we may say that on the
whole they were vary creditable, althooeh the choruses
of one or tweed the wogs were not rendered with that
precision and feeling which Is desirable. Their best
piece was the pretty part song " I love my love in the
morning," which was @spirally given, and their worst
"l'h• ceough and crow," for it ems preceded by general
Saloom, while the amassmente for the solos were at
ono, novel and bed. The two dinette by boys were
steeliest, the one by Maslen Hatching@ end Bartlett
especially so, sod it wen re-demanded by general
coosent Mr. Junes Andrews wing two soap in his
11111%21 agreeable style, evoking otosirlerable applause. •
new wombat some tomtit in the person of Mr. J.
Esecat, whose singing of "Mill May" was so good in
itself, and gave mob promise of his future exeslienos,
that bersosived quite an ovation of approbatioo. He
has a good voila sad sings with taste, and we shall be glad
to listen to him spin. W. may unquestionably
pronoonee hint the star of the evening. Mr. 8..
Hayman sang "Little Magee" in • commendable
manner, and woe moored; and Mr. J. Russell did equally
well with "Silver Chimes," bat the melody is not Par-
ticularly attractive, neither has it mash variation, sod the
audience didn't ears for any more of it alter the several
egress bad been gone through ; with • bettor song Mr.
Rumen will no doubt Wide pilaw 11111010•1. Master J.
Robinson sang ooe of the beet songs of the evening,
"Face. of dreamland," and we may soMeipahe that it
will be inquired for at the mania shops. The rest of this
ndeted of amnia pup, in which Mr. P.
Holland nod co
aud Mr. R. Parader diseisiguithal themselves,
the former doing the broad faros with groat skill, and
the latter achieving sooloce in light comedy. All these
provoked laughter 1=; but (se far as we may have
apprehended peldie • on the subleoth we think
the people of Neches would rattier hear some of the
old comic soap, setting forth with brisk Lad antoral
humour the oddities of human natant, than the newer
sensational clam which have nothing to recommend thvin
but grotesque buffoonery. On the whole, however,
Woo/ from the applause, we conclude that the Neer.
tainment afforded eonsiderable pacification to Non
present
