The entertai nment given By the ladies
last Friday evening, for the benefit of
the Presbyterian church, was a very
enjoyable affair, and quite a financial
success, although the audience was not
large one. The songs and tableaux
were well rendered, and the poem
"Hov the Ladies Made Their Dollars, -
written by Mrs. L. W. Kinney, was a
very creditable production, and was
admirably read by Miss Della Neal. The
ladies deserve great praise for the sue
cess of the entertainment, and the Echo
wishes them q full fruition Of their
hopes, here and hereafter.

Standing ON Ceremony.

Cormorant fishing, which is kept up at
the present day in various districts OF
Japan, always takes place at night, and
by tOrchlight. The birds are expensive
to keep in the winter, and during the
summer the fishermen even provide them
with mosquito nets to add to their COM
fort, but they are 80 profitable during
the five months OF the hunting season
that they well deserve the great care be-
slowed on them.
From four to eight fish is the fair re.
suit Of single excursion into the water
for one bird, which makes an average OF
about $50 fish an hour. Every bird in q
flock-ard there are never less than
twelve-has a number, and knows it.
and one OF the funniest things about
them is the quick-witted jealousy with
which they invariably insist, by oil thai
cOrmorant language can do, on a proper
observance of their respective rights.
