The Westquotaire Club was delightfully."-
entertained on last Monday evening by the
Ochean Society at the home of its Church
street member. A picnic supper was served,
and merriment reigned supreme during the
entire evening. An unusual hilarity was
noticed on the part of certain of the men,
bers after partaking of the sixth cup of the
beverage which ''cheers but not inebriates,' y
although their thirst seemed by no means
quenched even then. During the evening a
musical program was rendered by several
members of the Westquotaire Club, al
though it is to be feared that the audience
was not sufficiently appreciative one men,
Der going so far as to express the opinion
that the Hallelujah chorus was ga pretty
good coon song" The members of both
societies look forward to many more of
these gatherings during the winter.

A NoRTHPORT ROAD CASE. The County
Commissioners held hearing Nov 10Th on
a petition of Benjamin Colson and others
that the private way from the main road
near Oscar Hills house in Northport
across the Camp Ground through George
street to South Shore be made county
way. There was a large petition for and a
large rem0nstrance against the change and
several parties spoke on each side of the
question. The only public way to pass the
Camp Ground is to go over the hill west of
the grounds, and thence over the Bluff Hill
or down to South Shore and across Temple
Heights. The petitioners ask that the
more direct and level road across the Camp
Ground be made county road instead of a
private way as at present. The remon-
strants claim that the road is free to all
except that during campmeeting week a
fee of 10 cents is charged to all who 70 into
the grounds. Parties driving across are
I. not charged. The charge would put the
expense of keeping the road in repair upon
the town of Northport, and render the town
liable for damages in case of accidents,
whereas travellers on private way are at
their own risk. The Campmeeting Associa-
tion claim that the change would be great
damage to their property, in taking large
part of the grounds out Of their control.
The Commissioners will render their decis-
ion at the regular term in December.
