Missionary Meeting. St. Paul’s school room was filled to its utmost capacity on Monday eVening, when the Rev. I. O. Stringer gave an account of his experience in the district of the Mackenzie river during the last three years and a half. Rev. C. II. Marsh occupied the chair, and after devotional exercises introduCed the speaker Mr. Stringer gave an account of his journey, relating incidents which happened to himself and his companion, Mr. Tom Marsh, brother of Rev. C. II. Marsh, at Edmonton and elsewhere before they parted company. He also gave descriptions of the manners and customs of the Esquimos, and of the Indian tribes among whom he labored. He described their snow-houses and the method of building them ; their clothing and their ornamentation, of which he had a choiCe variety on exhibition. He also showed knives and other utensils, and explained the difficulty of dealing with these people owing to the changeful nature of their Nov. 27, 1895. After many months of busy preparation we are ready this morning with a full display of Holiday Goods. The thousand and one things tell of Santa Claus and Xmas, and the happy days of childhood.

A Silver Weddinz ot Haliburton: place here on the evening of the 16th inst., at ; the residence of Mr. Wm. Pym, the genialand popular conductor of the train on the Victoria branch of the Midland Division of the G.T.R:, I being the twenty-fifth anniversary, or what 15! known as the “silver wedding,” of Mr. Pym and his estimable wife. A large number of invitations had been issued to the elite of Hali- burton and friends in Midland, Huntsville and Port Hope, which, judging by the crowd of guests, must have been generally accepted. Mr. and Mrs. Pym had, as usual, done their utmost to provide an enjoyable evening, and if fun, genuine amusement and a sumptuousl repast counts for anything they must have realized that their effort proved more than suc- cessful. It may be safely said that all were thoroughly at home and enjoyed themselves. recitations, and very funny, yet fascinating skirt dance, per- formed by two escotic gentlemen, gave im- mense pleasure. Amusements of nearly every description kept the guests busy and jolly until the small hours of the morning, when they de- parted, having enjoyed an evening they will long remember. It is almost superfluous to say that the presents to Mr.and Mrs. Pym were costly, numerous and useful. also that the sin- cere wish of the entire party was that they may have the pleasure of attending Mr. and Mrs. Pyin’s “golden wedding.” We may add one little incident which appeared strange to many. Mr. and Mrs. Pym had by some occult means so disposed of the little Pyms that not one of them were visible. Guess Billy thonght kids would only be in the way, anyhow. ..__._-. The Varsity Glee Club Car-cert One of the largest audiences ever seen in the academv of music greeted the Universiiy of Toronto Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs in their second appearance in Lindsay last Tuesday evening. Every seat down stairs seemed to be occupied and the noise from the gallery indicated the presence of “the boys” in large numbers. A pretty sprinkling of Lindsay’s beauty in its society array added to the attractiveness of the scene. The program Opened with more than usual punctuality with a pretty rendering of the alphabet, sung before the curtain was raised. Of the glee club’s part in the program it may be said that they sung WC“ and gave general satisfaction, though the first number in the program was not at all up to the mark. Their “star” piece was certainly Twilight, which was beautifully sung. The two humorous pieces, “A verry sorrowful tale,” and “The boy and the tack” were excellent and the encores were “old timers” and took immense- ly, for Who could withstand the charms of “Kemo-Kimo,” with two local hits at Barr and McMillan, “I’ve lost my doggie,” “Old man Moses,” “\Vay down in yonder valley ,” and “johnnie Schmocker?" The banjo and guitar club have improved very much since its last appearance here twu years ago and made all the music possible out of the not overly musical banjo. Their descriptive piece “The darkies jubilee” was good and the humoresquc advance and retreat of the Salvation Army was very cllective. The encore pieces were in some cases better than the program pieces, and their whole part in the program reflected the greatest credit on Mr. Smedley. The mandolin and guitar club played only one number (cnocred as usual) but they played it most charmingly. M r. Sinedley is to be con- gratulated on this number, for it shows him not only as a director but a composer, and its bewitcliing strains should bring him some financial “lleart’s delight” if he publishes it in popular form. Mr. Smedley’s single number on the program was a guitar imitation of the approach and retreat of a militaty band. It was agreat success, and as the last faint note died away, a thunder of applause burst forth - and brought Mr. Smedlcy back for an encore. But why did not Mr. Smedley play at least two numbers? The voice soloists were three in number. Mr. W. ll. Robinson, the tenor, is a perfect artist, his tones being sweet, clear and strong, and both his number on the iro- gram and the encore were delightful. The same cannot be said of either of the other soloists, Mr. C. T. King and Mr. W. S. Mackay. These gentlemen sufler by com- parison with Mr. Robinson, and although possessing fine voices, Mr. MucKay’s being an exceptionally strong and deep bass, they lack the finish and ease. The Varsity yell and “what’s the matter with Barr? He’s all right,” ended a ccncert which reflects great credit on the musical director. Mr. Walter II. Robinson, who has by his handling of the Varsity glee clubs and its concerts proved himself one of the i=.remost men in Canadian musical circles. To his excellent accompai ist Mr. Wiggins a word of praise is also due. The literary society of the collegiate lnSlllUtC are to be congratulated for affording Lindsay the treat of such a high-class concert and the patronage given by the citizens shows the deep interest in both good music and theliterary society. Tim \VA'i‘CuMAN also congratulates Mr. Gillis, the president of the literary society, for his neat speech of thanks at the conclusion of part one of the program and is glad to learn that though the expense of the concert is very heavy, yet a pleasing balance remains to the credit of the literary society. PALESTINE . A Carnationâ€"We have observed in recent issues of the Post new3paper cer- tain letters purporting to be written by some person or persons from this neigho borhood. We are at a loss to know who those unworthy writers are, whose writi- ings are reflecting upon our Y.P.S.C.E. Those writers show their cowardice when they write and sign different names to their letters for publication, such as “An Old resident,” “Pionet r",and “Defender.” For downright. misrepresentation “De- fender" caps the climax. We challenge any one of the trio, more especially “De- fender,” for we take it for granted that whosoever the writer may be, that he wrote that; letter to show his malice to- wards us by trying to stir up strife and animosity in our quiet neighborhood, and to injure us in our public capacity. But the intelligent electors of this neighbor- hood we know will pay no attention to such scurrilous writings as these wiscacree have indulged in. Such writing as has gracedâ€"or we might say disgracedâ€"the columns of the Post. “Defender” must be very rude indeed when he tells us that our association -is kept. in existence by two young ladies. We contradict him on that. score, for such a statement is utterly false. We trust: that. if “Defender" attends those revival meetings that: are going on that it. may be the means of doing him good, and “that. his future life may be a great. deal better than his past. Such follows are more to be pitied than scorned, We have already taken u more room than we expected.
