 Probably no larger crowd of people have for many years, if ever, congre- gated at Ashley Falls than on Monday evening last, the attraction being the display of fireworks from the lot south of MT William Abbott's residence.

The SIS worth of fireworks consisted of four balloons, 12 sky rockets, one plain battery, bomb shells, flower pots, and numerous Ro- man candles, Saxon wheels, electric spreaders, etc., which were displayed in very pleasing manner. Ice cream and cake were served on the premises of MT Abbott and the only failure to SUD- ply the wants of the multitude was when the cream gave out. The receipts of this part of the entertainment were about $14. The 'sAshley Falls drum corps" furnished martial music for the occasion, which was greatly appreciated by all. It is requested that vote of thanks be rendered to Mir and Mrs Ab- bolt for their assistance and for the use of their house and yard during the eel ebration; also to MT Harry Andrews for the efficient manner in which he man. aged the fireworks, etc., and to all oth- CTS who kindly assisted in making the affair success.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

To the Editor of The Ne,cs :-
 I give you one of the extracts which have noted down from the sermons of the Rev Dr Baxter, whose church oc- casionally attend, who not only allows but even requests his hearers, should any part of his sermons not be perfect ly ineligible to them to ask for an ex- planation during the sermon, which departure from the customary course frequently renders some parts of his sermons quite interesting.
 ssYes, my belubbed brudders and sisters, we am in de hand ob God. ebery one ob us am in his hand. dis new meetin house am in his hand. ebery thing, dis butiful world, de sun, de moon, de stars, de whole of de bound less uniYus am in his hand, and I think dar am no pusson in dis meetin house dat would hab de audasity to argy aginst dat proposishun. I think it am impossible dat any such pusson am heah."
 Brother Aristotle Jones says |: .t brudder Baxter, I don't wish to argy ginst no proposishun but I would like to hab dat proposishun made a little more perspishus, darefore I take de 1, liberty to ax jes one question, If de whole boundless univus am in de hand ob God, den whar am God"
 "Now brudder Jones wat you ax such foolish questions for. Don't make no difernce whar he am, but sein you hab axed such foolish question Ill splain dat away. God am spirit and spirit am a thing, cause if it wasent thing 1t would be nothing and darefore it wouldent be no spirit, and as it am impossible for thing to exist widout form, darefore dat spirit hab a form, and dat form am de same as de form ob man, for de bible says dat God made man in his own image, and God am ebery whar, dat is, he am un- limitable in size, darefore if he am un- limitable in size, ebery part. ob him must be unlimitable size, cause if any part ob him am imitable in size den his whole form must be imitable in order to keep up de proposhun, darefore if he am unlmitable in size ebery part ob him am unlimitable, darefore his hand am unlimitable in size and am ebery whar and darefore de whole boundless univus am in his hand. Now l think dat must be clear and dat explanashun satisfactory to ebery one, am it not. :"
 Brudder Jones says: "Yes, brudde1 Baxter, I think get part ob de idea, and dat is dat dis heah univus am de shape ob man, but de hand bizness am still somewhat murky."
 Well, brudder Jones, you look al de question under consideration in toe superfshal manner, de languige ob de proposishun am somewhat fgerative but I will splain dat some uder time Brudder Eaton pass roun de sasser and brudder Scollop pleas beat time while de quire sing SrENo CRATER.

And Distract Him as we'll the
 Audience.
 As long as the custom permits ladies to wear large or tall hats in church, those in the centre and rear of the edi- fee cannot get glimpse of the preach ar unless he travels back and forth on the platform like caged lion. We think the men might wear their tall hats in church with equal proprlety. The ladies who occupy the seats before mentioned will undoubted- ly agree with us even if those who occu- py front seats, where they can display their new hats to good advantage, do not.
 In justice to the entire audience, we suggest that ministers make their ser. mons ten minutes shorter, and give the ladies that much time to don their hats, and for mutual admiration. Perhaps such an innovation would make sermons more interesting and increase the atten- ton paid.
