The entertainments given by this school are highly appreciated. The people iu and around Eugenia gener- ally are muck iu favor witli the Union School and the way everything in connection with it is managed, and as an evidence of this they cheerfully giye it their countenance and support. After a sumptuous tea had been served a long, varied and interesting program was gone through. There are two choirs in connection with this school â- â€"a senior aud a junior both sang several pieces very tastetuUy and were well received. Miss Pedlar was organ- ist for the senior and Miss Carr for the junior. A number of dialogues and recitations by the younger schol- ars were yery pleasing. Mr. F. T. Carr, Mr. tj.

AND SEE OUR WE HAVE THE GRAND THE ELEGANT â€" AND- in your columns to give some hints npon the evil influence of the Social DsDce upon young Christians. I take my pen to give a few scriptural and practical thoughts, which, I am sure, will not clash with any thoughts which many may give, but corroborate with me and all lovers of pore Christianity. The question is often asked Is the social dance sinful There are three answers given from three characters. The true, devoted christian says, •'What is not of faith is sin" â€" Bom. U, 23, I cannot engage in any exer- cise that does not comport with the pure spirit of the gospel nor the char- acter of Jesu?, the author, fulness and Bn'jstauce of the goFpel, the nominal professor who onljr has a name to live who Lath not Christ. in him the hope «{ glory, says it is innocent amuse- ment and does not cofiict with Christi- anity nor any Christian character.

Walkerton people are disgusted with their electric Ught system and pur- pose abolishing it. Squure Wilson, of Belessley, near Orangeyille, has been appointed collec- tor of customs at that town, duties to commence 1st January. Mrs. Annie Scott of Peterboro' has entered an action, ^against Henry L. Atkinson, ot Mono, for the killing of her son Jsmes B Scott, who met his death at Dan. Markle's fish pond last May. The btatement has been repeatedly made that there is no profit in keep- ing pigs, but such however, does not seem to be the opinion of Mr. G. L. Dodds, of Melita, who came into Deloraine this week to receive per ex- press a pair of thoroughbred Berk- shire pigs, which he had bought from J. G. Snell Bro.. the noted breeds of Edmonton, Out., who have won a whole string of medals and prizes with theur Berkshirea. Mr. Dodds believes in getting good stock whenever possible, and these latest additions to the thoroughbred stock of the Melita district, will in all likelihood be yet heard from next fall at tha shows. As an instance of what has been done, Mr. Dodds says he has sold nearly $60 worth of young pigs from one grade brood sow in two years, and ir he can sell fan: common pigs for pnch an amount of money he is sure tlwre will be sale for better stock, and invested accordingly.â€" Times, loraine, Man.
