the married mems parlor social,
given under the auspices of the ladies
aid, at the residence of j. II. Abrams,
Wednesday evening, the 9th, was a
grand success. The house was filled
to oyerflowing. 1t would have been
difficult to find a more merry gather
ing. The music was good. A song
entitled Glide Away" by ID. L. Lewis,
j. II. Abrams, II. Chambers, w. Gil

amusing. The words were written to
suit the occasion by j. II. Abrams aud

Friday evening last, Rev. Mr..
Moore, Of Bowcsmont, delivered a
capital lecture on Labrador and
mission work amongst the Esquimaux.
Rev. Mr.. Baker, Of Pembina, was in

great insight to the customs of a peo-

pathetic. Some very appropriate
songs which we're nicely rendered
formed an attractive feature of the

the matronly portion of the
community, and all wendell home

ant evening. Mr.. Moore who was &C.
companed by his genial and hand

Mr.. Marshall Purdy.
