THE Forest; Pulp and Paper Number of the Toronto Globe, which appeared as a supplement on Saturday last, was a splendid edition and contained a vast amount of useful information regard- ing the Forests of Canada which are rapidly being depleted to the alarm of publishers and others using large quantities of paper. The demand is greater than the growth by unassisted nature, and it seems time for some means to be adopted to keep up the supply. The number is beautifully illustrated, well printed, and a. credit to the publishers. \Ir. J. L. FlaIity, of Owen Sound, is 111 town for a few days. Mr. J. P. Telford was in Owen Sound last week.

PERSONAL The 3lst Regimental Band’s first, Carnival of the season on Tuesday evening last was a complete success. both as regards the number of maskecs who were present and the attendance generally. At eight o’clock the rink was jammed to the doors with a jolly and boisterous crowd of merrvmakers who were out for an evening’s sport and intend ed to have it, and if our skating rink, which is rather small, to say the least, had been twice the size, we believe it would have been filled just as easily. - Though the afiair had not been ad- vertised out of this immediate vicinity to any great extent, quite a. large number from a. distance were on the ice. and as the town turned out en masse to lend a. helping hand to our musical organization, the Band boys are highly eluted over the success of their first ice carnival this winter, and intend having another in the near future. Though the date has not been set, We have been creditably informed it will likely be on Thursday, the 19th Inst. The many beautiful costumes, espec- ially among the ladies, made the judg- ing exceedingly difficult, but with such men as Mayor Calder, H. H. Mockler and F. Search in charge of the distribution of the prizes no par- tiality was shown, and we believe their decisions were received with favor by all in attendance. Comic.

The cause in itself is a most worthy one, and if there is an institution 1n which any town should take a pride it is in its Public Library. The program was up to its usual standard. the singing and instrumen- tals winning much applause, repeated encores being demanded. Rev. \V. L. Newton. in a short ad- dress, dwelt on the benefits to be derived from a good public library, and advocated the liberal support of the one in Durham, it it was to continue to be a benefit to the town. Mr. Newton’s address was short, but contained many parts wor- thv of consideration. The rendering of the “Conspiracy,” an excerpt from Shakespeare, by Messrs Mockler and McClocklin, was the most completely staged number on the program, and in their part as the “Conspirators,” whose conspiring led to the assassination of J ulius Caesar, displayed much talent. Their por- trayal of these characters was most realistic and their acting received much favorable comment. A SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL Mayor Calder was chairman, and his opening remarks were brief and to the pointregarding the Public Library. He wanted to see it receive the support of each and every citizen, and thought there ought to be a much larger num- ber of members in such an institution as we have here. \Vhether or not these series are to be continuea, we cannot say, but for our part, we hope we shall soon again have the opportunity of listening to another program such as was given on Thursday evening last.
