Our Methodist friends have thoroughly established a reputation for getting up Socials and managing them in a peculiar- ly successful style, but the manner in which the large number of persons, young and old, appeared to enjoy them- selves at the Social given by Mrs T. Palmer and Mrs J. Brown, at the resiâ€" dence of Thos. Palmer, Esq.. on Thursâ€" day eveninglast, shows that the ladies of the English Church have not, through want of practice, lost any of their acâ€" customed skill and proficiency in superâ€" intending these gatherings. The at- tendance of visitors was very large, the whole house was filled, and with vocal and instrumental music, carpet balls, parlor nine pins, authors and other inâ€" teresting games, the time was pleasantly spent. The appetizing refreshments were worthy of the reputation of our amiable and competent hostesses, who certainly did not allow any want of cx~ ‘ertion on their part, to interfere with l the enjoyment of the guests. Scarboro, York, Thornhill, Markham, Newton- l brook, V aughan and Richmond Hill l were all represented, and had the weather been more pleasant, the attend- ance of friends from a distance would have been much greater. A contest for a threeâ€"storey cake, between Miss Emma Shanklin, of Thornhill, and Miss Jessie Nicholle, of Richmond Hill, creat- ed considerable interest and was decided ed by a total mm of 145; leaving Miss Nieholls with a mafiority of 7. Every person present was highly deâ€" lighted with the social, and such unâ€" doubted success should prevent our friends from allowing such a ‘great length of time to intervene between entertainments of this kind, under their auspices. The proceeds, amounting to $50 were devoted to St. Mary’s Church. DEAR SIR.-â€"â€"As the people of Richâ€" mond Hill are so interested in every kind of' entertainment, they will be pleased to hear of a waxy happy one which took place in our section of the Country. ANOTHER RIVER T0 Cnoss.â€"Somehow the City Council appears to take supreme delight in Violating its obligations and promises to the county. A dilapidated sidewalk on Kingston road. put. down by the city, costthe County a lawâ€"suit, and some damages last year. This led the Co. Council to order its engineer to take up said sidewalk unless the city would give a bond ofindemnity. The Committee on walks promised this bond; but when the matter was brought up last week. it was ruled out. and no action taken. As a result the County will now have to insist upon the nuisance being removed from its pro- perty. There must. be no mincing matters in this case: one law-suit with its attend- ant costs and damages is quite sufficient for the County to stand for the benefit of Toronto. Everytime the County comes in contact with the City, there seems a deep "river to cross,” before getting it adjustedâ€"ERA. The people of Oak Ridges congre- gation. wishing to testify in some sub- stantial way the esteem entertained for their clergyman, the Rev. C H Patter-- son,vof Aurora, agreed upon surprising that gentleman with a. visit on the even- ing of the 13th inst. Although the night was not pleasant, a large number turned out, and about 8 o’clock reached the parsonage, which was soon filled with happy faces. and a large assort» ment of those things so necessary in housekeeping, which would have made even Dr Tanner smile.

From our own correspondentj Skating is all the rage in this village just now, and if a person wants to be anybody, they must learn how to skate. Accordingly nearly every person In the village, large and small, old and young, have invested in some kind of skates, and can be seen in crowds wending their way to the rink, either in the afternoon or evening, several tlmes a week. This remarkable unanimity of public opinion in this direction is rather to be eom~ mended. as the village would certainly be somewhat dull without the rink, where good healthful exercise is afierded in a pleasant, amusing and interesting manner. The Carnival on Friday evening last. was a decided success in every Way. There was a large crowd of spectators, and about seventy-five persons appeared in costume, and made up a very pretty scene, as they glided by the grand stand in the beautiful and attractive garb of a Spanish Lady, Summer. Little Butterâ€" cup, Quakeress, Mary Queen of Scots, Gipsy, Fairy Queen, etc., etc. The costumes Worn by the ladies were all good, and it "would be a very diflicult undertaking to pick out what the audience considered the best ; Mr John Patterson had decidedly the best cos- tume worn by any of the sterner sex, and MrJohn Coulter came next. Nearly every nation under the sun had some aspiring representative, who in many many cases, and especially amongst the ladies, exceeded in point of personal ap- pearance, gracefulness and attractive manner the people of the particular country or peculiar sect and denomin- ation which they represented. Aftett the masqueraders had the ice to themselves for about an hour, the "great unWashed,” 0r rather unmasked; were allowed to mingle with them. and masks were removed. Considerable amusement was caused by the revela-- tions made when the features were un- masked, many of the costumes defying detection. The village Band added greatly to the pleasure of the evening by their excellent selections- NAME Mies Sarah Coulter " Meg ie Sanderson “ Sets.

Jan. Rogers. J. P. of Eversley met with a very peculiar misfortune a short lime ago. while attending some members of his family who were down with diphtheria, the disease was in some way communicated to a small sore on one of his hands. At one time it was feared amputation must be resorted to, but a change for the better has since taken place. HoLLown’s OINTMENT AKD PILLS.â€" Dangerous Chest Complaintsâ€"The 'en- umerution of these diseases is scarcely necessary, as, unfortunately, most English- men know them to their cost. Coughs, common colds, influenza, bronchitis, asthma. pleurisv, inflammation of the lungs, and even consumption in its early stages, are best treated by rubbing Hollowuy's Ointment upon the chest, and upon the buck between the shoulders. 1t penetrates internally, checks the cold shiverings, relieves the over-gorged lungs, gradually removes the oppression from the chest; and restores the obstructed respiration, hither- to so distressingly disagreeable and highly dangerous. In treating this class of diseases. Holloway’s Pills should always be taken while using his Ointment: they purify the blood, promote perspiration, and allay dangerous irritations.

BAND CARNIVALâ€"Those of our readers who have attended the Skating Rink‘this winter have noticed how great- ly the presence of the Band increases the pleasure of skating. The band boys have given their services free of charge for two nights during lhe week, and will continue to do so all through the season. This is very kind of them, and they are all decent fellows, who have got music down to a fine point. As the funds are not too high, and as .some new instru- mcnls and clothes would add to their proficiency and appearance, they have decided to hold a. grand Masquerade Ball and Carnival at. the rink, on Friday evening, 28th inst. It is expected to be a grand affair, the leading one of the whole season. About one hundred masqueraders are anticipated, and the costumes will be tony. Quite a number 0t Toronto costumes will be worn. It is not necessary to recommend every one to go and assist the band. They are sure of a good crowd. For particulars see bills.
