BAZ•III.—A rale of the usuel pret y things in the
usual pretty manner when e charitable object is to be
twisted. or • religious fund raised, has been going on at
Gloneesteristnet sehoolniors for the last three days. It
appears that then are the remains of the building debt
still on the chapel, and the friends bare set their hearts
on clearing it off this year. To this end a number of
delicate fingers hays been bet at work, and frocks, pins.
fores, anti-inaussars, slippers, and--there we can't run
through • catalogue of useful and ornamental articles—
have been secunaulated, and of course the way to raise
the money is by a bazaar. For this the schoolroom was
neatly decorated by Mr. H. Bennett, and the pastor,
Rev. K. S. Ashrotr, and on Tend., -the ladies set out
their wares for sale. The stedle were arranged in •
polygon in the centre a the rum, and at the walls were
pretty bouquets of cut flower, in one place, a well.
nerved refreshment stall in another, and a quantity of
choice flowers, ferns, and window plants, in a third.
Th. se latter were eootrbut ii by Mr. and Mrs. Gale, of
Clifton.place, who had devoted time darng the whole
year in attending to their growth. Here was also some
fine produce from the Littlefield in the shape of cum,
Mon* onions, potatoes, and other vegetables, looking
like the germ of a cottage garden show. In another
corner was the Polyorsma Partoptique, where for 2.1.

shopkeepers, cetnplained • little of the dulue-• of trade

to acknowledge that they had done pretty well, having
taken ober the counter a respectable sum. The re.
wander of the debt it doomed by the friends to be
wiped off if pomade before 1870. and • tea will pro-
