columns Of your paper, but would like to say
word about the debating society held in
Good Tempars' Hall' on Monday evening of
each week, which is conducted in Il very en-
tertaining manner. and which proves to be
beneficial to each of its members. l learn
that the society is divided and subdivded, in
order to make it more interesting, aud not to
hold as late hours as would be necessary to do,
if it were not divided.
The society has at present some sixteen CT
eighteen members, and all of them seem 10
have an interest in the welfare Of the society
and the ambition that is manifested, shows
that it is something besides a gathering OF

the evening away. Do not, parents and

this, bat encourage the young men of our vii
lage to spend their evenings in some such
place as this rather than IN places of worse

those assemblies of concentrated wisdom, to

Of times and things that are past. She was
blest with good health until almost the last,
