KINGSVILLE.
Eds. Tel-We have had q rather good
lecture under the auspices of the G. A. r.
boys-ths last of the series. This and
one other were the only pay lectures Of the
course. The simple admitance Of IS cents
has afforded something over expenses, by
which the outlay for uniforms may soon
be met. Ths difference in attendance be-
tween Is cents and free lecture is about
25 per cant. This follows without refer
encs to the distinction Of the lecturer or
the holiness Of the cause. The last and
best lecturs-that Of last Wednesday even
ing, was by Rev C. V: Wilson, Of Ra-
VIENNA subject" In Debt" Those who
expected the treatment of the subject in
Its pecunisry aspect-and prided them
selves upon being out Of debt" could
hardly escape little trouble of conscience
before the close. The presentation of the
subject was worthy a full house and a
| good outcome from lis effect.
Your last paper alluded to the burglari-
Gus entrance into the store and Post office
of Kinnear & Curtis, on the night of the
18th inst. One of the large rsnes of glass
in the front door afforded an easy opening
smeared with molasses. being pressed
against and the consequent almost noise
less bursting in of the glass. Nothing
but cash was wanted, and nothing in the
way Of goods were taken, unless-as Josh
says they were marked too high. Some
Of the $25 to $50 taken, mostly in change,
was found scattered upon the walk the next
morning.
On the evening of the 18th there was a
fire at North Kingsvills. The dwelling
house of Mr.. Simmons being consumed,
supposed to have caught in the roof, from
sparks. Insurance some $500. Goods
mostly removed.
The Presbyterian social on Friday even
ing, was one Of those occasions where in
vestments bring compound interest in ad-
vance. The gathering was at the house Of
A. n. Case. The attendance was goodly,
and receipts generous and acceptable 10
the ladies in charge. There's more to fol-
low.
The many good COWS about here will
have to take note of the following and
make up their minds whether they will
submit to such things as the following:
A COW owned by Rev. E. ]. Comings. of
N. Kingsville, gave him and family of
three, 216 lbs. of butter over and above
the milk and butter used by themselves,
between April 1S and NoY. Is, 1877, and
after the last date and up to the 1Et inst,
with the addition of another COW, both |
farrow, 1870 lbs. more, also over and above |
that used as in the first instance.
The morning service at the Presbyterian |
church, on Sunday, partOok largely of |
Easter. The sermon Of the Psstor-the |
resurrectlon-was presented from Corin-
thisnS l. 14-15 much to the ediRcation and |
comfort of the believer. An Easter an
them was presented at the close creditable |
to the choir and graciously received by the |
people. Thanks are due Mr.. Geo. Web
ster and Misses Eliza Comings and Lottis
Peck for the display of choice flowers and
trailing vines about the desk, and the |
cross of moss in front. The effect of the |
display drew an allusion from the desk to |
the einspiring presence Of Gods hsndy-work. |
An exhibition was held at N. Kingsville |
on Saturday evening last. under the organ
ization of Good Templars, well worthy of |
note, consisting of two plays with sppro-
pirate music. The avails were to 90 towards
sustaining the cause.
Mr.. Ed. Hammond has improved in
health so much of late as to enable him to
visit the Infrmary. He has had a long
siege, but the common wish Is that he may
regain his health. and that - his shadow
may never grow less"
LATER.-The experience of one of our
young men is given in the following story:
Last Thursday night. while on his way
home from party, our hero, not being sat-
isfed with the ordinary programme of
taking his girl home and then turning
round and driving home himself, he de-
termined to bring all his gallantry into
service. Leave taking is often delayed and
SO it turned out on this occasion. What
was done is not for mortal ears, but left to
conjecture. The horse not,being hitchsd
concluded to leave on his own account; on
his way was a mill pond and when he
reached that, he went, buggy and all, of
the bank into some 10 feet of water. The
plunge was heard by ipssser-by and no
tice given. Cries for help went up from
the scene, and the owner of the horse
readily taking in the situation plunged in
and swan out to where the animal was
holding his head above water by resting it
upon the seat of the wrecked vehicle.
From the breaking of the shafts and cross
bar the horse had turned tail to and found
so conYenient rest. By aid Of ropes,
the intrepid and somewhat desperate young
man ssssyed the means for relieving the
horse and wreck. On gaining the shore,
however, it was discovered that the rope
was not rightly attached, and another
plunge became necessary. Hard earned
experience, now insured success, and it
was not long before the whole calamity
horse and buggy were brought to the shore.
Pain Killer, Ginger tea and hearty rubbing
restored the horse, and the buggy with
trihing expense was made.goOd as before.
The young man is now open for con-
tract to take Sitting Bull, provided some
one will drive him into mill pond. G.
