A great number have enlisted from the village and surrounding vicinity, and this forms a strong bond of interest. On ditl‘erent occasions for patriotic calls they have made noble res» pamses, and if we can remember correctly. the proceeds of one ef- fort last winter brought in about. six hundred dollars. The garden party on Wednesday night, of last week was under the auspices of the girl patriotic work- ers. and no pains were spared to make it a success. Tea was servâ€" ed from six to eight. o'clock. and ,the gate receipts alone were an- nounced to be \85. The booths. to“, [did a rushing business. and yielded ian income of S37. The young ladies were in need of funds. At short intervals they send parcels to the boys at the front. and the necessity for help was well understood. As an additional source of income, Mrs. Wm. Aldeorn donated a cake, to be put up at auc- tion. The chairman made. the anâ€" nouncement before the programme was concluded, and offered the cake for sale to the highest bidder, and Mr. Aldcorn was the lucky buyer at $9. He knew the cake was a good one, and generously paid his men- ey and handed it back to he sold over again. Now, we cannot reâ€" member the names of different buy- ers, for it was sold several times, Reeve McQuaig was the second purchaser at $5, and J. H. Hunter and Guy Kearney, of Durham, and one or two others. we think, paid similar amounts, and there were, several buyers at. smaller sums. Mr. MeCuaig and Mr. Kearney both bought it a couple of times, and spent six or seven dollars each.

One of the most interesting features of the evening's program was a brief address by Sergt. T. F. Mcâ€"i Graw, of Toronto, who enlisted at: the commencement of the war and continued in service till wounded Eat Courcellette, when 35 pieces of ,shrapnel entered different parts of this body and forced him to the hosâ€", ipital for four or five months.

Though the city is only two years old, it is said to have a pepulation of be- tween eight and ten thousand. The buildings are mostly wooden, and as no insurance is granted by the companies, any destruction by fire will be purely accidental. Labor-- ers are plentiful, but work is scarce and many would gladly leave if they had the means to do so.

The party were liable to several other charges, but the magistrate decided that as they were. so far from home and liable to so much trouble in tire punctures and blow-- outs before getting there. that he would have compassion on them. and let. them off with the lightest tine possible.
