 In regard to the report in the BEE, February 2S, criticised, last week, the number of the contest was an error, but otherwise entirely correct. From no oth- CT source have We heard that it was up to the average i'll merit. The report was given, based on honest convictions and in no sense was intrnded to mar or harm the contests, or any one personally and why your correspondent should avail of so small q matter, to rush into print in a flat denial, k not easily to be understood, at least by the majority of the readers of the BEE.-IL. The entertainment of the Union Sun day school, last week Friday evening, postponed by storm from Thursday, was d rousing success and netted SEQ. Sleigh loads from adjoining towns swelled the audience at the school house until stand- ing room Was Ut premium. About l40 were present and +. J. Squinobal's load or score of Long Hill people enjoyed d merry sleigh ride and the pleasing pro- gram in which there was not failure and all received merited praise from ad- mring friends. The songs by the Stcp- ney Glee club added to the pleasure of the evening, as also the solos and duets interspersed with the speaking and dia- logue<.
