Bub night 1nd . {all-lull and the order wu a credit. Rev. Mr. Farquhareon made an ex- cellent chairman on Saturday night. Dr. Jamieeon had the honor at Fri- day nights concert. , The Duets "Whe'n ye gang awn ’ Jamie.” and “ The Crooked Baubee ” I by Mr. Fax and Miss Dickenson. were é never given better than they were at ? these concerts. Pipe Major Benton pleased every Scotchmnn. and even the writer got so that. he liked the pipes the second night better than he ever did before. Miss Dickenson’s Guitar solo was well rendered 3nd held the crowded house in rspt silence till the lust chord was struck. Her rendering of Muggie Louder brought down the house. and in responce to on encore she cue ” Annie Laurie ” in a most shlo manner. 3 Many regrets were heard because lof the absence of Mr. Davidson, of {Detroit. Those who heard him be- 3 fore were anxious to hear him again. and we feel assured thata packed ihouse will be the result when his leervices are secured. The elements 3 were blamed because he wasn’t here. Jimmie Gardiner is a star dancer, and excelled in every number. The Highland Fling, the Sword Dance, and the Irish Jig were all right. Mrs. Newton was the accompanist and we feel a pardonable pride in thinking that it’s hard to find her equal. Her piano solos were ex- quisite masterpieces, and " Old Black Joe ”with variations was a soul stirring porduction. On Saturday night the programme was largely difierent but if anything better than the Friday nights per- formance. We must confine our re- marks to a few brief notes as it would be impossible to do justice in the time and space at our disposal to such an excellent and varied pro- gramme. I It was a success too, and the man- I agsment deserve great credit for sup- : plying such an array of talent. Fax } was here and everybody knows Fax ‘ to be a whole concert in himself, Piper Major Beaton was present, and j all who knew anything about the . pipes. pronounce him one of Canada’s Heading Pipers, Jimmie Gardiner i 3 was here. and as a dancer he would I i be hard to beat. Miss Dickenson {appeared before a Durham audience ; for the first time. and from her first ' number the audience was captivated I with her clear sweet voice and un- assuming manner. Mr. Drysdale. of Durham was also on hand. and in | his usual masterly style sang a num-i ber of choice Sc0ttish selections, but I in our humble judgment there was! nothing sweeter than, “Flow Gently ’ Sweet Afton ” which he gave as an encore. é In a week or so it was announced _ that the concerts would be given on the 25th and 26th of February when the former talent would be all pre- sent. Time rolled on. and the storms rolled on at the same time. Trains were blockel and no dependence I could be placed on the train service, i but it was still hoped that the roads would be clear and the concert would materialize in first class shape. But alas: Thursday was a bad one, and trains along the line were bunting at the snow drifts. The performer’s were on the way. but it was not un- til five o’clock that a telegram an- nounced Fax, at Guelph and others at Acton. Davidson was at St. Mary‘s {but announced the impossibility of ,getting here, and his intentions to return to Detroit. The others were told to come on, but Thursday’s meeting was postponed and Friday announced as the first night yet all had doubts, but a supreme efiect was made and about noon the performers came over from Hanover, and the concert was assured. Notwithstanding many difliculties the Sons of Scotland had two success- ; ful concerts on Friday and Saturday nights last. According to previous arrangements this event should have came 03 on the 28th and 29th of Jan- uary. but the weather at that time was so unfavorable that it was feared connections could not be made and t the management decided on a post- ponement the new dates to be fixed at a time suitable to the artists en- gaged {or the occasion. I I Mr. Brodeur hss advanced en ar- 'gutnent .which hss been tested snd 'proved by the Netionsl Policy since 1878. He hss shown that the former msnufscturer snd workingmsn can t be benefited by protection. Yet it is 2 sole to predict, thst when Psrlistnent meets. Mr. Brodeur will vote sgsinst further protection for any one of the three great branches of Csnsdisu in- dustry. The new minister should insist upon the Lsurier government extending the blessings bestowed on the tobacco grower to all classes, or like Mr. Tsrte, resign as s. protest agsinst the injustice done to the Csnsdisn people as a whole. ndinn tobacco we: finished end put on tho mnrket.

Mrs. Steele was alone in the house, but did not lose her presence of mind in the trying emergency.

Yours truly. D. Knechtel. 01'" Mr. D. Knechtel has issued the .st following letter to the people of Han- he ’ over. Mr. Knechtel has been a good ’ friend to Hanover :â€"" For some time I have been carefully studying the lwork of the Young Men’s Christian ‘Association movement and am dec lighted to hnd how wisely it is plan- ” ned and worked to reach and help 3. .young men and boys socially. physic- fiy ally, intellectually and spiritually I; ,9 I have also been greatly exercised over re the fact that there is no suitable place 3. l in our village for the young men and [a boys to spend their evenings. This d leads me to make the following mm» d osition: I have purchased the Lan~ ;. derkin residence property and purpose d to erect thereon fronting on main 1- street. a two story and basement building 66 feet long and 36 feet wide d containing gymnasium. baths, parlor, n . reception, class, amusement and read 1 I ing rooms and a public’hall and to be . ready for occupancy next fall. This 3 building to cost not less than $5500. 9 Provided that a suflicient sum is sub- scribed annually for the next five years to pay the running expenses {amounting to not less than 31,100. . It is expected that $400 of this . x’ amount can be secured from members 1 i of the Association in the form of j , membership fees, the balance of $700 :1 to be provided by the people. I would also expect that the Municipal Coun- ¢ oil would exempt the building and i that portion of land which it will .stand on from taxes and grant free [water while used for the purpose herein mentioned. I would further C lexpect that the building would be C suitably furnished by the villagers, i said furnishing being estimated to c J a i l cost about $500. I make this pro- position in the confident hape that it will be accepted and my terms com- plied with by the sun of this month = so that I may at once proceed to the erection of the building. During my fpleasure or life time I desire to re- ‘ main owner but it is my intention to eventuallv hand the property over to a board of trustees.
