An EPISODE OF RECENT FEsTIvAL.-The

eu1ivened by all the usual Accomplishments of
such pleasant and pecuniarily not Improbable
gatherings. Amongst other incidents was that
of the presentation to the Circle by native
artist of marine view which was speedily
purchased by volunteer subscribers and subse-
quently presented to DR.. Carruthers, the pas
tor of the parish, who received it with much
thanktulness, not only for its intrinsic worth
but the affection and respect of which it is the
evidence. The view represents the coast of
the Grand Menan, dashed by the raging waves
of the Atlantic-the rocks meanwhile uprear-

fully receiving the tributes of foam aud spray,

The Mayors AAarsss 10 the Police.

The new Police assembled In the Aldermen's
room yesterday afternoon and were inspected
| by the Mayor. They are good looking set Of
| men, apparently of good habits, but in physi-

year. Mayor Kingsbury read short address,
setting forth sore of the principal points which
he desired them to observe in discharge of their
duties the coming year. 1t was in substance
as follows:
mr.; Marshal, and Gentlemen of the Police:

On no class OF officials is more reliance COM

of the police.

The necessity, though imperative, is an un-

to be above suspicion.

pretty, ugly and indescribabe; and for many
hours the eye rested upon Telange of ANNA

days of masquerades. Chandler and few of

and helped keep things lively. At halfpast 9
the masks were removed, and everybody
looked with wonder at his vis- a-vis, and there
were some startling little episodes which would
be best expressed on canvas. The ladies' of
the party came as a basket brigade in addition
to their other characters, and the upper
room was made a place of feasting. The sup
ply was abundant, the quality unexceptiona-
