The house was full, the program exâ€" cellent and every number well ren- dered. Time and Space prevent a detailed account. The vocal seleco tions by J. A. Hunter and Archie Bialbraith and Misses Black and Mer- edith were of unusual merit. The Johnson Orchestra was just as charm- ing as ever. Miss Renwick, of Dro- more, has won renown as a vocalist before a Durham audience. Though a mere girl, just. in her teens, she is already a musical artiSt. Modest, unassuming and gifted she has a bright future before her. No one was more generously or genuinely applauded. Miss Richardson, Elocu- . cionist of Flesherton, was of course Ethe drawing card, and the masterful style in which she diaposed of a widely varying program show her to he rarely gifted in the interpretation of thought, both grave and gay. Her _ ing stage presence. peerless pos- saywee: musical-tome and clear ~iation are all charms. but her " .power is her ability to bury r (in personality for the time be- ing and forgetful of her surround- ings assume the life, character and thought of the author. "The Painter of Seville” was the best number. Mr. B W Meredith had the burden of the work in getting up the program and deserves credit for the suceeu achiev- l t Mr. Pat Darcy of this tow,n got word last week from his lawye1 in Michigan, that his suit against a wealthy Lumba1 Company with Mr. Biall ey as President, had been suc- cessful before the sup1eme Court of that State. The suit was for dam- ages received in the firm’s mill by which Mr. Darcy lost part of his foot. This has been a very long and tedious case, having been in Court no less than six times. The origin- al award was for $3000, but has been cut down somewhat and with the ex- pense of the various suits, will only leave a portion of that sum. Mrs. Alexander Smith, of Norman- by, near Varney, who has been suf- fering some time from a tumor, on the advice of her 111 :dical attendant, submitted to a surgical operation from which she died twenty hour afterwards. The remxins arrived at Varney on Monday, and were in- terred Tuesday in the Saugeen Ceme- tery, Durham, whither they were followed by a large concourse of sor- rowing friends and acquaintances. assembled to pay their last tribute of respect ‘to the deceased lady. She leaves a husband and two sons to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and loving mother.

The Moss Lake correspondent informs us that. he is going to quit writing from that locality ard so we immediately seized the opportunity of giving you a short sketch ()fI the happenings in and around the “ Clifl’" . Perhaps by way of introduction it would be well for us to give the Readers of the Chronicle an idea of where Top Clitf is located. The name is given to our beauti- ful new school erected on the hill on lot. 39, con. 3. S. D. R. Glenelg, known as See. No. 10. on Mr. Joseph Hoop’s Farm in the year 1891 by the late Wm. Williams, Contractor. The old school house that served its dayand generation, stood about 40 rods west of the new one on Mr. A. Mc- Cuaig’s farm. It will be remember that the old school house was the scene of excite- ment in the early part of the summer of 1891, caused by certain sound or sounds of various tones. annarently coming from un- der the floor at times and in an instant the listener would imagine it was near the ceiling. We are not gcing to say much more about the matter but the mystery could never be solved even by the most sanguine who pretended to solve the prob- lem. We Will gixge the readers a short history of this school. This section was partly taken from section No. 2. D. R.. Gl'gsnelg, in the_year 1863. ' The first teacher who taught was a Miss \Vilson from Durham, then Miss Jones of the same place, the Misses McKenzie of Owen Sound (2 sisters), Miss Glendeuing Durham (niece of late Rev. Park) Mrs. Black or Mrs. McRae of Durham, Miss Gun also of Durham, Miss Wright ot Priceville (now Mrs. Patton) Miss McMillan of Price- ville, Miss Campbell, sister of our worthy Inspector and by the by we heard Inspec- tor Campbell telling‘ us that he taught for a week or two also. Mr. Wm. Campbell of Latona taught for 2 years also Donald Mc- Donald now of Allan Park school, taught for 4 years, Miss Marv Mcl’hail taught for 3years, Miss Annie R. McKechnie taught furtSmonths but tendered her resignation on account of the continuous noise going on in the SChOUl during teaching hours, her resignation being accepted. We may say here that Miss McKechnie was an excellent teacher. She was succeeded by Miss Maria Whitmore. now none but Mrs. Chas. Mc- Arthur of Durham and lastly our present teacher in the person of Miss Maggie Mc- Canuel who is entering on her 3rd year as teacher in No. 10, with much success. TOP CLIFF.
