Central church Festival.

~ = l.
This exhibition came off at City Hall last
evening, and drew avery good audience The
entertainment was excellent. In the .Orato-
rio of the Priestess" there We're good singing
and good speaking. The young ladies who
took part in this exhibition acquitted them
selves very handsomely and. are entitled to
much credit for the pleasure they gave the au-
dience. The tableaux were very pleasing, and
the Old Folks Concert was highly gratifying
and called up many scenes of the past. The
needle work upon the tables was quite tempt
ing, and many articles were really beautiful.
The antiquarian supper was all that was
promised, and when we came away hundreds
were anxiously at work upon baked beans, In
dian buildings, oysters, and other good things.
On the whole, the exhibition passed off to the
satisfaction of all present. This evening there
will be another exhibition, with change of
programme. The monk will be visible to
all who may wish to look upon his majesty.
We can promise those who attend very
pleasing entertainment, and the prospect now
is that the Hall will be filed. ~
FIRE AT WEST PARIs.-Sunday night at
eleven o'clock, the story and a half house of
MI. George Young was discovered to be on
fire on the root, near the. chimney. Mr..
Young, in his night clothes, tried to put it out,
and succeeded in getting up the ladder twice
with two pals of water, which nearly extin-
guished the fire, when the intense cold depriv-
ed him OF the use of his limbs, and before help
could arrive the building, with all its contents
was destroyed, the family escaping in their
night clothes. There was no insurance. A
neighbor, Mr.. Brown, himself poor man
headed subscription paper with s25. Others
generously followed his example.
