SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The annual ge-
neral meeting of this Society took place at Exeter-hall
on Tuesday evening, when a report of the proceedings
during the past year was read, the Committee re-elected,
and other business transacted. It appeared from the
statements contained in the report that twenty concerts
had been given in the year, at ten of which the sub-
scribers had admission, that the number of subscribers
had much increased, the list being almost full, that the
receipts of the year had amounted to nearly 5,0001., and
that in addition to the invested property of the Society,
the balance in the Treasurer's hands had been increased
to nearly 3001. Much gratification was expressed at the
success of the last concert (Judas Maccaheus) and its
repetition announced for Friday next, 14th inst.
COLD WATER CURE.—A singular incident occurred
during the fire at the warehouse of Messrs. M'Crea and
Boord, which took place last week in this town. Amongst
the individuals who laudably gave their assistance on the
occasion, was Mr. John Brier, hairdresser, and landlord of
the Labour-and-Health house, Southgate. For some years
Mr. Brier had laboured under dehfness, still more so on catch-
ing cold. On this occasion, whilst actively engaged inside
the burning building, one of the engines played into his ear,
and knocked him down. On recovering from the stunning
effects of the accident, Mr. Brier found, to his great surprise
and gratification, that his hearing was completely restored,
and finding the benefit to continue, gave the firemen a treat,
declaring they had done him more good than all the doctors
in the town.—Halifas Guardian.
