It was held at the resi- dence of Mr. J. H. Heard, under the auRjiicoH of the Ladies' Aid of tho Me- thodist church hero. There was a good attendance. Memlters of Fountain Council, R. T. of T. , participated in a very interesting debate recently in connection with tho Scott Act. Affirmative and negative sides of tho question were well sustain- ed. It was a Bourco of profit and plea- sure to debaters and hearers.

As money is likely to advance, it will pay parties to make a]>plication at onoe to W. J. Bellamy, Flesherton. People who do not make it a practice to roa<1 odvertiiiumeuts, often lose mon- ey through their neglect in this resiiect. The newspaper is a business directury as well as a collector of news and general reading matter, and to overlook either department is like eating meat without •alt.

Possibly the Imsiu's of the 17th inst. were off rusticat- ing in Miiskoka in the iuteival. "More" possibly Postmaster Purdy can explain the cause of delay.

Considerable dissatisfaction exist* in this neighborhood, as well as in Flesher- ton, in reference to the manner in which the Post Office here is conducted. Of late this feeling has been intensitied by the extraordinary pt^sition taken by the Post-Master relative to the distribution and despatch ot ILr Majesty's mails. Complaiiita are of daily occurence. It seems Mr. Purdy has invited the Po»t Office Inspector to "cumo up and st.aigh- tan things in connection with his office," and pending the arrival of that official, refuses to give some people their mail matter, hands it out to others â€" in fact allows the Post Office to take care of it- self. Sometimes he suggests that people take their registered letters to Flesherton Post Office. Occasionally letters mailed hero never reach their destination but are returned to the senders, for the sim- ple rea.son that the Post Master declines or neglects to foiward them. Only last week several money letters wore forward- ed from nt'sherton to tho Central Bank at Durham to pay off curtain notes ma- turing in that concern. The mail bag containing these important letters was, by a most egregions and uapardonably stupid blunder, returned to Flesherton Post Othco. Again they were sent and this time they did reach their destination, but a few hours too late. Result : seif- enil notes protested and considerable juit indignation experienced (m account of having to pay coats of protests â€" some CI. 06 in each citse ! â€" besides tho annoy- ance occasioned by having that commer- cial integrity and punctuality, so dear to every honorable business man, impugn- ed, through tho stupidity of an official who is unqualified for the position he now oC(!upie8. It is scarcely necessary to in- form rational mortals that the Post Office Department is undoubtedly t<i blame â€" to a large extent, at leastâ€" for the condition of things obtaining here now and for years post. A MATRIMONIAL FLUTTBR. The fair goddess, "Hymen," seems to have taken up her abode permanently bore, to judge from the ceaseless activity ill tho iiiatriinnnial markfct of late. Thurs- day last a C. P. R. newsboy, agetl some 16 or 17 years, married a Flesherton Station young lady of al><>iit tho same age. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Mr. Edge- low, of the Church of England, at Dun- dalk. The juvenile CI tuple went a way on the orthodox hoiieynnHin trip. The affair al- most eclipsed Post- Master Purdy '^ iiiatri- nioiiial venture in point of interest, and ha.H established quite a dangerr>u8 prece- dent fur the young -people of Artemesia.
