On Thursday evening, the pleasant
parlors of G. A. Booth, Esq, were
thronged with guests to welcome to st.
Paurs parish, as its rector, the Rev.
Fred X. Fisher and his estimable lady.
The occasion was noticeable for the
marked absence of that stiffness that
usually accompanies all receptions.
Among the guests were Rev. Mcssrs.
Munger, IIibbard and Hall, ministers
of the Methodist, Baptist and Congre-
gational societies f-the city, and the
Rev. Mr.. Roberts, rector of Brandon.
Everything was in the best of taste and
altogether most ENJOYABLE. The excel

to by the attention paid them by the
guests. Mr.. and Mrs. Booth, assisted
by Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Booth, were, as
is their wont, the most attentive and
engaging of hosts.

and no doubt with the intent to do
harm, that certain gentlemen from
your place were intoxicated at our oys-
ter supper last week, we wish to
fatty contradict the statement and to
pronounce it falschood. There
might have been some that had indulg-
cd in glass before coming, but there
were certainly no manifestations of its
presence. A general good feeling exis.
ted and remarkably good order pre-
vailed, considering the numbers pres
ent. Yours for justice. Con-.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-We desire to ex-
press our sincere thanks through the
columns of your paper to those of our
society and church who labored 50
chccrfully TO make the donation of Feb.
Is a financial success, which they truly
did, as the net proceeds amounted TO
over one hundred and one dollars, be-
sides gifts since from those who were
unable TO be present which raises the
amount. That God may abundantly
bless and save them, and not only them
but all who manifested their Kindness
and sympathy by their presence, is the
earnest united prayer of

We are happy to chronicle the fact
that James Kill has SO far recovered
from the effects of white swelling of the
knee as to be exempt from pain and
able to travel comfortably with the aid
of crutch or cane. Last spring he
was in such condition that certain doc
tors who had given the limb a cursory
examination decided that it must come
off; one of the literati going so far as to
say it was impossible to cure it, but at
that juncture DR.. N. Ross, of East Mid
dlebuy, was called and said he would
try to save it, with the above result. 1t
is not expected but that slight de-
gree of lameness will continue to be
present, perhaps for years.
Miss Calista White, who has been
teaching the school in district No. 5 the
past term, got up school exhibition
at the Methodist church, OH the even
ing of the 18th inst, which, with the
usual exception of the failure of few
pieces, was eminently success. The
programme consisted of instrumental
music by Miss Churchill, of Goshen, al
the organ, Dana Paige, of West Sails
bury, OH The cornet, and gentleman
whose name we did not learn with the
violin, dcclamations, dialogues and
tablcaux. And since all that took a
part arc of the opinion that their part
was success we will not particularizc
any, except to say that the instrument
tai music was far better than could rca-
sonably be expected from performers
that had never practiccd together. The
rendering of several pieces was partc-
ularly fine. The song of Maudic Bent
ly, miss of eight years, was so finely
executed as to excite the admiration
and almost envy of old singers. The
recitation, ASSASSINATION of Lincoln, y
by Mrs. Churchill, of Goshen, was very
fine.

The lime business is very dull this

cember, and did not start for six weeks,
for want of orders. One kiln only
is now burning, with no prospect of
starting the others. Mr.. John a. Co
nant, of Brandon, has now the entire
management of the business in the
place of Conaat & Bascom.
Considerable feeling is being mani
tested at the Junction, respecting the
non-acceptancc of the usual amount of
wood taken at the lime kins this WIN
ter. No wood will be received except
of such men as made contract with
MIR. ID. G.. Bascom and received money
in advance, and it happens that but
three or four men were so fortunate as
to have their contract so sealed. Some
men were expecting TO sell large
quantity and by so doing meet their
spring payments, etc. Some anxiety
is manifested and "brcakcrs" are look
ed for in shallow water.
The readers of the Register doubt
less wonder why there is nothing said

are not successful at saying that which

wretchedness, for nearly half a century,

the mention of the matter would only
