ANOTHER sERuRE.-On Thursday of

a ragged Cannuck with the poorest
possible apology for horse, driving
leisreiy along through our village,
and thinking no doubt that this was
just the team that ought to cs,rsy the
Canada beverage, he hailed the driver
thereof and ordered him to stand
and deliver" On taking an inventory
OF his stock it footed up thus: 4 small
jugs, whiskey in EACH one long necked
glass bottle, half full of trouble; one
" leetle hoss,' and one sled to match.
The horse was appraised by three ex-
cellent judges of such property at the
various sums Of S0,81, $500, $3.50.
" Parle vous" protested with tears in
his eyes that he meant to do noting
wrong, and repeatedly averred that
the "whiskey was to cure his boy, who
was very much sick" After some
further parley he was allowed to de-
part with the team and the admonition
to "sin no more" against Uncle Sam.
The jugs were retained, but the long
necked bottle went to 'Ecure the boy"
FESTIVAL AT PROFESSIONALLY la
dies of the Congregational Society in
Greensboro held a festival at the hall
of B. G. Burpee on the evening of
Jan. 18th. for the purpose of raising
money to rcfurnish their house of wor-
ship, soon to be repaired The occa-
sion was one of pleasant interest and
good success. The ladies deserve cs-
peclal praise for the originality of
their various entertainments, and the
richness and elegance of their tables.
The net proceeds of the evening were
fully 500, while various baskets of
unbrOken fragments were distributed
the next day among the poorer families
of the parish.
The gentlemen Of the parish have
also just repeated their last years re-
membrancc of their minister 5v en-
cumbering his door yard again with
huge pile Of wooden blocks. which it
is expected he will find means to dis
pose OF. No questions were asked
nor threateningS made of an action for
"trespasS on the freehold"
We hear that Rev. John II. Wood
ward Of lrasburgh. has gone to-
Wisconsin upon an urgent invitation
to preach a few Sabbaths to a con
gregation there. The result will
doubtless be that he will receive a call
and will accept it; leaving rasburgh
again without a minister, and in cir
hat will make it more diff
licult than ever to procure one.
