McLeod, Presbyterian, of Prieeville. has gone on a trip to the North-West for tbe benifit of his health.

After a short service in the church the meeting was convened jn the school room, and Eev. J Ward was called to the chair. A paper was read by Eev, J. C.

A handsome uoh tastefully decorated with eveigreens, had been erected across the street, opposite Bbnnell Bro's store and Tuck McLeod's hotel, from top of which proudly floated the British fl^, a row of evergreens also had been placed in front of the sidewalks. Dr. McLellan, in place of evergreens, had a great streteh ot crimson cloth suspended across from his place, which, in the sunlight, looked grand and imposing. From fully half a dozen differ- ent places moved the Union Jack.that emblem of freedom all over the world. About 10:30 a.m. the lovely notes of fife and drum were heard in the distance, and shortly after, the Sydenham and 10th line lodges entered the vUlage, with music playinj? and banners wav- ing, and were soon followed by the Massey lodge, who came in waggons. After dinner the TariouB lodges were marshalled in front of the hotel, when the bands struck up and rendered several soul-stirring airs â€" airs which thrill the whele frame with martial ardeur, and makes it easy to understand how our ancestors could defy the "Pope, the devil. dt.

Notice. â€" ^We wish it distinctly understood that we do not hold ourselves responsible for the opiniens expressed by our correspondents To the' Editor of the Standaed Deab Sm, â€" Your issue of last week indi- cates that you have marie a change in musical reporters. Changes are sometimes desirable and greatly beneficial. We strongly suspect that your new musical reporter, who so ably reported the brass band concert hdd here July 12th, firmly believes he is the peer of the best musician the world ever produced. As a vocalist he may be a grand success. He undoubtedly possesses a gigantic brain, over- flowing with melody and song, and polished by fine musical culture and training but, as a brass band reporter and critic, he is evident- ly a pretender and an ignominious failure. Eefer to your paper of last week and notice his gross ignorance. Ho says, '-After a short chat the band started the programme again with a march lead good, E bass gOvd, all good excepting B bass and trombone at Jf. places were over-blown." Is'nt it amusing and surprising that this would-be critic is so shamefully ignorant of band music. The fact is the band plaid a quickstep instead of a march and there was no trombone part at all, as the man who plays the trombone is and has been for more thaii two Weeks axray from Markdale on his summer vacation, and the trombone was not plaid at all. but was quietly and unobtrusively hanging upon its peg in the bond room. If Barnum's notorious steam calliope had been plaid in the band at that concert I have no doubt but .that your sew musical reporter would have called it a lovely little picalo well played, hot "^places" blown too soft. However, we io not wish to be seyere, and the poor fellow's retort on the whole wad very good, but before saiding him out to report a band concert, again, print some large labels, paste than on all the instmments, then yoor musically intellectual reporter wiUJoiow which is which. K^riticism is good, but let not the ignorant or assuming egotist atteiopt it, as ik is a most difficult task. OlIX OF TR BOTB. droirning in the mill pond." Evcryore was astounded at the news, and deeply affected. His parents were present. When it reached his mother's ears she lell back, completely overcome into the arms of those beside her. 0, the mother's feelings, who can realize them None but those who have passed through a similar agonizing ordeal. The meeting immediately broke up, and all hur- ried down to the scene of the disaster, his distracted father being among the first; he at once plunge? into the water to search, but in vain, for his dear boy, and was with diffi- culty prevailed on by friends around to leave the fatal pool. Expert divers had already tried to find the bedy but without avail. It seems that some boys, after being engaged in a base-ball match, had ran down to tbe mill- pond to take a bathe, and were amusing them selves by holding on to a boat with their hands the rest of their bodies being in tbe water WilUe Norton was at the one end by himself and a number of ^boys at the other; aU at once the boys let go of their end, and the other, suddenly descending, came against Willie's head, partially stunning him, so that he could make but little effort to save him- self, although it is laid he was a good swim- mer. Had there been any assistance at hand it is probable the boy might have been savied, but all were so much engrossed in witnessing the proceedings up town and at the chureh, that there wto but little chance of any one coming near the place, and when they did arrive it was too late. Over three hours elapsed in dragging the pond before the body was recovered, It is needless to say that the sad occurrence cast a gloom oyer the village and all those assembled. Faces that in the morning, beamed with bright anticipations of enjoyment, were in the afternoon "sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought," further demonstrations could, under the circumstances, take place, and the visitors, who had so much honored us by their pres- ence, took their departure towards evening in sadness and silence. of an Act respecting Assignments for the benefit of Creditors, 48 Vic, Chap. 26, and the Creditors are notified to meet at No. 26 Wellington Earit, Toronto, on 23rd July. 1886, at 3 o'clock p. m., to receive statements of his affairs, appoint Inspectors, and for the ordering of the affairs of the Estate generally.
