was offered by our pastor, singing by
the choir; Marcus Jocelyn made the
presentation speech which was appro-
priately responded to by the pastor.
A poem written for the occasion was
read by a friend after which all par
took of bountiful repast prepared by
the ladies who out did themselves on
this occasion. The pastor and family
wish to tender their sincere thanks to
their many friends for the manifesto
tions of their friendship to them, not
so much for the gifts presented them
as the Christian Spirit manifested by
them. May the blessings of Him who
fed the multitude ever attend them is
the sincere prayer of the pastor and
family.

A strange and rather unpleasant
guest called at the Irasburgh House
early Saturday morning making an
entrance at the chimney. Lightning
struck the house at the chimney, ran
down and passed through every room
in the south east corner of the hotel,
tore up floor and carpets, knocked
down stoves, passed through parti-
tions and smashed things generally.
The. current passed into the room
where John Ord proprietor, was sound
asleep and stunned and electrified him
to considerable extent. No other in
mate of the house was particularly at
fected by the current, but the noise
and the flame woke them all up and
there was a sudden getting ready to
leave the house, which was supposed
to be on fire. Strange as it may seem
the damage all around was slight. II
was a fortunate circumstance that no
body was injured or killed and that
the house was not set on fire.
