Jbe Anniversary at New England d last Sunday and Monday was a .cess. The morning service was uen by Rev. Jas. Dudgeon ot Flesh on, and the Rev. Stotesbury of oUand Centre took the evening ser- ice. Both services were well attend- ed and enjoyed by all. The fowl supper and entertainment on Afon- day evcnmg was well attended, the proceeds amounting in all to 9^5.00. Sincere regret was felt thai the Flesh- erton congregation were without a preacher for their morning service, but it was understood by the manage ing Committee here, when making the appointment with Mr. Dudgeon, that the gentleman lecturing then in his cbnrch would take his service. It can be readily understood, the pastor here, Mr. .Vlarshall, could not cover the mile limit, to take the service at Fleshcrtou in the morning and back to Holland Centre for evening. Hence the good people minisiered to by -Mr. Dudgeon here were perfectly inaocentof any mistake being made. A misunderstanding is the word.
