Quite a severe electric atorm pasaeU over our burg on Sitiirday morn in); la»t, accompanied by a nice rain th»t lasted for a couple of hours. Mesirx. Ashley Fawcett aud Thompson Burns of Toronto and Nobleton spent L;ibor Day with frieiKls here. Mr. and Mra. Samuel Croft of Portlaw spent Sunday laat, the guestb of Mr. aad Mrs. R. A. HoUey.

Quite a number of the Conservative electors of this neighborhood and <|uite likely IhroUi^h >ut the entire riding of East Grey are receiving throunh ihe post office The Daily Globe, till after the election, the idea of which is to try to influence them to suppotl the Liberal candidate in tho present election. It ia quite likely that in Liberal constituencies The Mail and Empire is being setit to Liberals, with a sio-iliar end iu view, iu favor of Cjiiservativcs. People who will resort to such tactics in this enliijht- ened age must, kurely think that the electors who receive these papers must be very ignorant, otherwise they would not expect to iiitiuence them with either one of the otticial organs of the two parties which doubtless make many misleailiDi; matements, espccidlly during an election campaign.

Pet>ple came from all parts of the country to take part in the celebration â€" some from Buffalo, N.Y., a number from Toronto and Owen Sound, and other places around were well represented. The speaking was iu the grove beside the hall, good scats be- ing provided by the committee, who spared no pains to make the event a success. The speakers were bright and witty. Bro.

Purvis of Toronto, and others contributed to the afternoon's en- joyment. The hall was beautifully deco- rated by Mrs. James Purvis of Toronto, to whom credit is given for the renova- tion of the hall, which shows that the spirit of Oi-augeism is strong in the ladies as well SLS the men. Mrs. W. L. Purvis and Mrs. K. D. Purvis all gave valuable aid in making the event a very memor- able one and inakiug the Eugenia Orange Hall a place of which .\rtemesia Orange- men may be proud. May the lodge at Eugenia still dourish. its membership al- ways increase ; let Brotherly Love be its motto, wiih friend and with foe live in peace. May they always be true to the Order, teach their sous in their footsteps to go. When death comes may all be found ready, their work being finished below.
