Young was elected Section's Auditor, and Messrs. W. A. Brown, Wm. Lucas, and H. D. Irwin elected as trustees. The question of school ac- commodation was taken up and dis- cussed in a business-like manner re- sulting in a resol^ition to put the pre- sent premises in a good state of repair where required, not entertaining the idea of a new school at present. Berkeley. Standard Correspondence. The eiitertaiument in S. S. No. 6, Holluud. on the 16th. was a great success in spite of the wet night. During the entertainment the children presented their teacher Mr. P. J, Stephens, who isjleaving, with a hand- some album and address. The Orange soiree on the 18 th, had an uufayorable night ah c, but was fairly well attended. Addresses were given by Messrs. McLoughry, W. A. Brown and R. Jamieson, Mr. Juo. Lyons occupied the chair in a vary able manner. Some of the friends and well wish- ers of Mr. R. JamieSon presented him with a cow as a slight evidence of their regard and as a mark of their apprecia- tion of his service in the Methodist cburch. We might say that the pre- pentatiou was especially appropriate as Mr. Jamieson had a cow. drowned while he was away preaching at ijyou's Church on Sunday. We wish all a merry Christmas.

The following evening a large number of the children, parents and friends of tbe school assmbled at the residence of Mrs. Sarah Breadner, the teacher's boarding place, when a beautiful ebony gold lieaded eaue and an ad- dress was pteseuted to Mr. Frank Hutchinson, their late teacher. Mr. Dodson read the address, which brought tears to many eyes. He followed with an eloquent speech, which would do credit to Dom Pedro. Music was furnished by Mes.r8. £. Cook, John F 'Us and Miss A.
