" A VISIT TO TRVARD."—This was the title of an
Instructive and amusing entertainment given in the
schoolrooms .4 the Congregational Church on Thurs.
day evening last. A series of dissolving viewa, illus.
trating a visit to I.eland, with specimens of Irish life
and Wit, Was well received by an attentive and
respectable so Hence. The Rev. F. J. Austin was
announced to take the chair, but in hie unavoidable
absence his place was kindly filled by the Mayor (C.
Edmunds Esq.). Tar, pictures were well coloured and
neatly executed, the whole being under the superin-
tendence of J. T. Stephens, Egg. (ex-Mayor). The
views included rapturous glimpses of the wild but
picturesque lake and mountain scenery for which the
Emerald Isle is so famous, the sea-girt lend
ivied ruins of monastic and legendary piles, and
wonderful and stupendous collection of basalt-known
se the "Giant's Causeway " were clearly Illustrated,
and lucidly explained by Captain Martin, who gave
the descriptive readings. Anon the repreeentattons
of those neighbourhoods, where riot end bloodshed Is
at present unfottnnately prevalent, would nail the
mind to the disastrous scenes enact,ti in the " Sister
Lend." At the termination of the imaginary journey,
which was far too short for the audience, a number of
comic nicturse were thrown upon the sheet. Inman-
tive of Irish wit and humour. During "the journey"
some sweet voluntaries were played upon the organ by
Mr. S. Champ, and the snatcher of music being
solemn or vivacious is cha.acter with the pictures, the
musical portion of the entertainment wee much
enjoyed. At the doge a vote of thanks was accorded
to the chairman, who trusted all were satisfied.
