The services OF the Mcthodist
Church last Sunday were mostly in
the interest Of the Ladies' Mission
AIRY Society" Airs. Bishop Wight
man spoke most bcautirull, and
touclingly to the ladies in the after
noon on the subject Of missions; and
i'll the evening an able discourse was
delivered by Rev. S. A. Wchcr, edi-
tor OF the christian 1duocnic. Dr.
Cooke also elopuently supplemented
-hc remarks Of Mrs. Wightmnn in
the afternoon. DR.. Weber also
preached to 81 large congregation in
the morning. After services on each
occasion he was surrounded by his
many friends and admirers who de
sired to revive the pleasant memories
oi the past. We hope the services
OF The day may prove Il blessing to
the Society and to our people.

The performances Of Blind Tom
on Saturday night were truly mar
vclous. He is, indeed, 81 mystery
past finding ont. For Il griinaciny
idiot, 10 all appearances, to perform
the most intricate compositions OF
music with perfect accuracy and
mastery skill is phcnomenon
worthy Of study anl research.
There is 10 en,l 10 Bln.l TOMS mem
DRY, and his power Of initiating and
reproducing sounds seems TO have no
linit. His playing of Yankee
Doodle" with his Lett hand, "Fishers
Horn Pipe with his right hand and
singing Tramp at tho same time is
simply wonderful. His battle Of
Manassas is grand. His spelling Of
snythine held upin the hal! from the
touch of The keys ON the pano proves
the marvellous development OF his
scaTe Of so::nd All iii All lie is .n
cnlgna-a phrnomcnur Of nature
TOO mysterious to uuravcl.
