Burnt River, cele- brated in the Orange hall on the 8zh inst. by a tea and concert was a grand success. The proceeds realized by the lodge, and the pleasure that the crowd derived by partaking of a wholesome tea and listen- ing to an exoellent program, were about evenly balanced, both being in the maxi- mum. The proceeds, amounting in all to $39 25, go towards lessening the debt on the hall. which debt could now be entirely swept off by one more entertainment like ,the last. Much praise is due the young people of this village for the ready manner in which they joined together to prepare the programme, and also for their credit- able appearance on the stage. Burnt River has an Orange lodge second to none in the county of Victoria; and when it is‘ clear of debt the concerts, teas, etc., given‘ by the Orangemen in the future will not be so much for money as for bringing the Orangemen and those who may not be Orangemen, but just as loyal Protestants, into closer sympathy with each other, and to make each, whether Orangemen or not, feel that its a brotherhood to be proud of. Several sleigh-loads came from Coboconk and Kinmount, and we hope to return the compliment: by attending some of their entertainments in the future. Rev. Mr. McConnell, Methodist minister on this circuit, gave a short address on “What a true Orangeman should be,” emphasizing the point “That being a true Orangeman consists in being a true Christian also.” Mr. Sam Suddaby, Past County Master, talked for a short time on the constitution of the order.
