THE COLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN.
Correspondence Of the Columbian Fsuntsin.
ALEXANDRA, March &c. 1916.

Mr.. EDITOR: We were visited about
O'Clock yesterday by heavy gale of wind, ac-
companied by rain, which did some damage
TO fences, &c. Several signs were blown
down, and am informed that house at the
upper end of town was partially unroofed.
The exhibition of Vests painting at the
I'd Presbyterian Church closed last evening,
much to the regret Of our citizens generally,
many Of whom desired further opportunity
Of visiting it. Upon the whole, believe no
work of art which has ever visited our town
has been more admired by all classes Of the
community indeed, it could not be otherwise;
for the painting seemingly approaches as near
perfection as it is possible the work of man
could do. The expression of countenance
given our blessed Saviour, at once sorrowful,
benignant, and dignifed, strikes the beholder
at the very first glance, and rivets his attention
to the scene; while the mingled expression
of confidence, admiration, gratitude and sup
plication visible in the looks of the crowd
which throngs the Temple, and the scorn,
hatred and curiosity displayed in the coun
tenances Of the Scribes and Pharisees, at once
attracts the notice of the spectator, and bids
him gaze with silent awe on the majestic
scenes represented. No one who attentively
examined the painting failed to go away with
both instruction and profit. L.
