Hughes, accompanied by his daughter, visited Cambray on Friday evening and to an audience packed to overflowing gave an illustrated lecture on scenes in Victoria county, as well as from the Pacific ocean, and in Bonnie Scot- land and in Ireland. Miss McPhaden of Woodville sang several Scotch songs with much efi’ect. Mr. E Cleudenan occupied the chair, and among the Pacific ocean scenes, from Honolulu, Fiji Islands, New Zealand and Australia, were several in which that gentleman’s son, Dr. A. E. Clendenan, appeared in his uniformsâ€" tropicai and temperate zonesâ€"as surgeon of “The Warrim00.” Rev. Mr. Snowden moved and Inspector Reazin seconded a cordial vote of thanks to 001. Hughes for his lecture and to Miss Mc. Phaden for her excellent songs. There were many ladies present and considering the brief notice-only two daysâ€"and the busy season, the very large audience was a surprise to all. 001. Hughes reserved most of his Irish scenes and all his Ene- hsh ones for two future lectures, one un- der Orange auspices and one for Rev. Mr. Snowden. Cupid has been at it again. This time it is Mr. William Brown of Dysart, who on Friday, 28th April, lead to the altar Miss Jane Archer, daughter of Mr. William Archer of this place. The happy event took place at the home of Mr. James H. Brown. The Rev. J. Steele, B. A., performed the ceremony. The bridesmaid was Miss Isabel Archer and the best man Mr. Henry Roleson. The ceremony was witnessed by many life-long friends of both parties and the presents were numerous and valuable. Miss Archer has endeared herself to the whole community by her engaging manners, and Mr. Brown is well known for his enjoyment of every characteristic that euobles the brotherhood of man. We wish them both all the blessings of a long and happy married life. It is our sad duty this week to record the death of one of the oldest settlers in this part in the person of Mr. Joseph Windrim. Deceased had been in poor health for a year or more. but not feeling much worse than usual death came sooner than thev expected. The funeral took place on Tuesday and was largely attended. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved wife and tamily. â€"â€"â€"â€"..â€" ALLSA IV It is with some degree of sadness that we announce the departure of our esteem- ed pastor Rev. J. Steel, B. A. It seems but yesterday that he came amongst us, and now he is leaving. We were very much impressed with his fare well address. Mr. James Spler and Mr. Joseph Hadden have erected a wire fence along their premises, which makes quite an improvement to our village.

Perhaps they postponed the planting (f the trees till the school is repaired this summer. They however tidied the premises both inside and out in the fore- noon, with the willing aid of some of the pupils. What was the matter with our corres- pondent last week that he took a Rip Van Winkle sleep and reported the quarterly services a week ahead of time. He must have been misinformed and could not have attended church himself. The sacrament was administered Sunday ‘ evening in the Methodist church, before which an opportunity was given new converts to become members. The spring seeding will be almost end- ed thia week.

Hughes gave his renowned lecture and views on “Derry Walls” and “Bonnie Scotland” in Routley’s hall last Friday enening. The hall was crowded to the door and the people were well entertained for about two hours by the splendid views and the many interesting listle incidents complied with them. Miss McFayden of Woodville contrib- uted very much to the evening entertain- ment by several of her been scotch songs. Mr. Wm.

The saw mill is again closed down for the spring, the run this Spring having been interupted several times by breakâ€" downs. There have been happenings around the old mill that might be called accidents had not the participants been very fortunate. Last week while Messrs. Athel Fair and James Haudcock were rolling logs up to the mill they fell into the pond but nothing more serious then a. good wetting was the result. On the evening of the 25th “The Trm- ple of Fame” will be presented in Dick- son’s Hall by the ladies of St. Andrew’s and St. James’ churches. As the ladies were requested to repeat the performance and have prepared several new parts and various attractions they will, we feel sure, be awarded a full house. Mr. N. Thomas. who has been en- gineer in Fair’s mill for the past thirteen years, has resigned his position and has gone to Oshawa. Mr. Athel Feir takes higplace as engineer. ‘ i '__ Among our industries the tailoring establishment of J. J. 'Iownley ranks high. This firm carry on an extensive business and employ thirteen hands daily and ln the busy season a number of extra hands are required. The trade is from various parts of the province, as well as some prints in the Dominion, despite the fact that Mr. Townley is too busy to get out and solicit orders. wâ€" wâ€"_ _-_~-_ The closing concert of the F.F. Choral Society will be held in Dickson’s hall on the evening of Monday, May 15th. Mr. J. Parnell Moms of Lindsay, conductor of. the class, will be supported by a chorus of 35 voices. As he has also secured the assistance of a vocal quartette from Lind- say, Miss Mary Mitchell. soprano; Miss Cora. Walters. alto; Mr. Harry Brintnell, bass ; and Mr. Howard Porter. tenor, the concert is expected to be the musical event of the season. Col. Hughes is taken to task by a writer in the Kingston Whig of May 3rd. The following is the article; but the Volun- teers in Victoria county will feel inclined to commend their commanding officer ii the item be true: “People of Kingston have to thank Lieut. -Col. Hughes, M. P., for being deprived of the volunteer camp this year. The choice of time fell to another district and it captured June, so ngston district was forced to accept September. The last camp here in Sep- tember was highly successful and Lieut- ‘Col. Hughes was one of the officers who selected that time. Not being consulted as to the September camp he kicked and as conservatives have more influence with the government than reformers. Col. Hughes had more weight than the liberals of this district and he got the camp changed to Niagara. The cost of taking the troops from this district to Niagara will be much greater, but expense is not to be considered when Col. Hughes has been stepped upon. The rights of the people of this district are of no account in such cases, and money no object.” Our numerous correspondents will please arrange to have their news- letters reach this office in future not later than Tuesday evening of each week. This will be necessary to insure publication the same week. Col. Hughes in Trouble To Correspondents.
