From our own correspondent. Thk Annual Sabbath School Anni- versary of the Methodist Church here on New- Years evening was well pat- ronized. After tea had been served tbc program was entered upon- The first part sustained by the children we thought rather lengthy. Most of the .children delivered their parts well, but owiug to considerable disturbance by some iil behaved young men and women m the rear of the church, some of the little ones could not be heard. The second part oi the pro- gram being a Cantata by the Choir, was a choice selection but owing to too short preperatiou was poorly ren- dered. The Choir has done and is capable of doing very much better with a httle attention to practices. The Secretary's report showed the school to be in a most nourishing condition. A social held in the basement of the Church on Monday evening was very well aitended and an enjoyable evening to all was spent. Bev. Mr. Cornish, Chairman of the District preached the Anniversary Sermon of the Sabbath School on Sunday evening, the subject, "Early Conversion" the Rev. gentlemans discourse was hstened to with close at- tention. Miss Canton, of Oakville, has been engaged by the Trustees of Flesherton Public School, as .Teacher for the junior department, .vacated by Miss Hopkins. She entered upon the duties here on Monday last. Monday election day wasan exciting time here the contest for JJeeve was calm not many here feared the results of the days ballott between Dr. Chrietoe and Mr. Elhqtt. The struggle was h^rd between Mr. Pickell and W. Sharp, the latter being elected by 8, while it was still closer in Eugenia, Mr. Cairns having but 4 over McKee. Mr. Boland elected in the North by a large majority, thus we haye Eeeve andtwo (Jouncillors re-elected and 2 seats filled by new members we wish tnem all "A Happy New Year." k^ XICAS -X-:- 9l44^• iKFir 60§K MRUfmS ^WEES AT RUSSELL'S Noted Jewellry tttova, FLESHERTON. •,i!*f3" v^^iS*r »â- â€¢â-  ANJ^ NO'W GOING- ON AT McFdand's See his magnificent etook of Xmas goods which are going iiut OmUSI?

From a Correspotideut. On the evening of .Friday. JDec 24th « tea-meeting was held in the Presby- terian Church, which lately has been much improyed by the addition of chandeliers, carpet, and other improve- ments. The tea was as usual, and after- wards an interesting "program" was given. Eeceipts $36. On the evening foiiowing above that is, Christmas night, the annual tea mider the auspices of the Methodist Church was given in the church and hall ad- joining the parsonage ground. Th0 weather was simply grand and -d^Q at-^ tendance wab quite large. Beceipts946i Mr. Charles Diximmond our teacher for this year (1887) is now in town. He comes well recommended, and we wish h^m every success. His sister Miss Annie, teaches S. S. No. 8 (known as Milne's School) this year. She also has our best wishes. Our school closed on Thursday aiiex' noon, Dec. 23 with a public examination There was an attendance of abont 40 visitors, several of whom were teachers and two of them the resident min- isters. The several classes were ex- amined, and all seemed to give satisfac- tion. Towards the end Ox the afternoon Mr. Wesley Long, a trustee, interrupted proceedings and said that as the teach er was just going to leave, an address and presentation Was to be given. The address was read 'by one of the pnpils and a beautiful and valurible writing- desk was presented by another, Mc.^ Chant rephed as well as he ooiild, bf^jag' overcome vntii emotion. Affasrwa'ds short addresses were given by -Pthera present, and Eev. Mr. Ferrier dosed with prayer. Mr. Chant stayed here 8 years, and he will be missed in the Sunday School and Chmrch as vrell aa tile pubhc School.
