We learn that the Sunday Seliool Concert at the Metliodist church last Sabhatli after noon wa.s quite an enjoyable affair to all, af fording a source of delightful entertainment, and exhibiting a liigli degree of talent and caitnre on the part of the scholars. These exercises inspire tlie confldence and interest of the pupils and reflect great credit upon tlie skill and patience of the teaclici-s. We regret our necessary apseiice. Thanks to our young brother, C. F. Har vey, for ail invite to the “Masonic Festivities” of Kinsto.i L(4gc, 316, on the 23rd and 24tli inst , consisting of Fair and Festival the first night and Soiree the second night. As wc are considered a fair eatist we hope to be on liand tlie first night, but as we couldn’t dance if we would, and wouldn't dance if wc could, we’ll hardly be “a looker on in Venice’’ the second iiiglit.

Watson, one night last week, missed ttie train going West, but, notliing daunted, he put out after it, and overhauled it at Company Shops — Talk about your fast mails: Henry was just about as fast a mail in pursuit of tliat train as has ever rim in this country. He made ^ iilack streak through the moonshine ii-om Graham station to Company Shops, that might have been mistaken as an omen of bad weath er.— Gleaver, Dak.nq Robberies—I.ast Friday night, wliile the raocn made everything bright as day, some, thief effected an entrance into Mr. J.
