MAB£DALE AfAT 6, 1886 THAT SINK HOLE, It appears strange that nothing can Le di^ne in the shape of a permanent job on what is known as "Allen's sink hole." It is now over foar weeks since it was passable for a foot person, while it is dangerous for a team to cross, espeeially for strangers. The water has been very high in that swamp this season, and covers the road, more cr less, for forty rod, cansiug great in- convenience to the travelling pablic. If there is a possibility of draining it, the council should have it done, as that appears to be the most likely mode of surmounting the difficulty. This place has been swallowing publie funds foir'the list twenty years, and its appetite appears to be increasing. If some person would advance a seheroe that would make a permanent job at a reasonable cost, they should get a pension, at all events the coun- cil should look after it promptly. Fle9hert«B. Jfrom our own eorrttr^ndent. The annual spring show held in Flesherton on the 29th ult, was well patronized. It is eyident from the show of stallions in the ring that a deep interest is being taken in the importation of new and well bred stock into the county. A. Munshaw, Esq., is making marked improvement! on the com- modious hotel, by raising the walls with two feet of brick work and cover- ing with a new roof of much steeper pitch than that of the old. Operations have already commenc- ed upon the foundation of the new Baptist church, to be erected here this summer. Messrs. Moore and Whitton have secured the contract for the same. Kkmovals, â€" J. Gr. Bassell, our popular jeweller, moved this week in- to the house recently purchased by Thos. Osbom from J, G. Brooks. Mr. Brooks moves mto his own new dwelling erected bv himself this seas- on. Bev. J. Watson moves into the dwelling vacated by Mr. EusseJl. The Baptist people of this plaee have dianged their hour of service irom 11 a. m. till two p. m., and have commenced a Sunday evening ser- vice in the Orange Hall at Flesherton station. There was no preaching in the Presbytftrian church here on Sabbath last. The fourth regular quarterly meet- ing services for the present ecclesas- tical year was held in the Methodist chuxch here on Sabbath last. The services of the day were felt to be a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. In the morning the pastor, the Bev. Mr. Ayers, announecd a praise and thanksgiving service for the evening. There was a large tarn out, the church being filled to the doors. The service was eommenoRd l)y the choir singing the Lord's Prayer. Several anthems were rendered by the full choir durini the service. Mis .^ddie Armstrong sang a solo in fine voice with good effect. Bev. Mr. Ayers gave a brief address, in whioh lie spoke of his happy relation with his church and congregation during this, his first year with them. During the year h« had received nothing but the most marked kindness, sympathy and help from all. There was good cause for thanksgiving and praise on part of both pastor and people. He and they could rejoice that during the year souls had been made happy by coming to the Saviour. Numerically as a church ther had been strengthen- ed, and spiritually, they had also been blessed. His -earnest prayer to God was thai they all might go on from strength to strength until glory should crown wliat grace had begun. Mr. M. Bicnardson was then called upon and gave a most happy thrilling ad- dress on the service of song and its effects spoke on the duty, privilege and enjoyment of praise with several incidents illustrative of what he was then speakitug of. Dr. Christoe then lollowed, and spoke of the influence of religipu and its concomitant spirit of )raise on character and how it shed a lalo round its possessor at ttie close of ife, as witnepsed often by himself in lis professional duties. Several ap^ propriate hymns were sung by the icqiigregatipn, a^d the whole service was one of delig)^,^ ,^i 6n^97^^fc to all prraent.
