I thought, surely such an orâ€" ganization as this should have the libâ€" eral support of every resident; but tell it not in Guelph, publish it not in the streets of ‘Berlin, that the Waterloo Musical Society have to get the Band to turn out in a cold winter morning to replenish their empty exchequer. Shame ! Shame! The boys with . their fingers uumb with cold cannot play, and no one wants music at that un seasonable hour. Fellow citizens, are we doing our duty ? let us all join and assist them. I will give $5 a year to the Society, if they stop such questâ€" ionable nethods of raising money, but not another cent unless they do. I know that this indignation is shared by everyone of those disturbed that morning, and if the Society is wise it will listen to the general disapproval.
