On Thursday evening, March 20th., David James, 1554]., Reeve of Markham, gnve a very excellent party to the Mem- here of his Bible Class and Officers of the Sabbath HCIIOUI. To show the esteem in which Mr. James is held by the pupils it may be remarked that every member of Ins clues was present. Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Tultcn, also Mrs. Johnston Wilson Were among the inviti-(Iguusts. The even- ing was very pleasantly spent in games of Val'llills kinds as well as some singing, reciting, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Janice did everything within their power to cater to the wanis and amusements of their guests, in which they fully succeeded B lore leav- ing for their homes, the guests were treat- ed to a. nicely prepared and rich repast. We are confident from the manner in which the guests enjoyed themselves that the kind treat given by Mr. James will long be remembered by the members of his class and friends generally. I might just here remark that there were over thirty-live persons present. At a season- able hour the party broke up ; but many seemed reluctant to depart and among them your correspondent. Many thanks are due to Messrs. “Webster and Chap- man who furnished teams and sleiglis fur the occasion. We hope this may not be the last of similar entertainments in this neighborhood. A very excellent sermon was preiicbed on Sundzw evening, March 23rd. by the Rev. Mr. Totten, on the subject of " Dan- cing.” The speaker, on the Occusion, cb0se for his text “ Prove all things." He went on to say that there were Some objections urged against a discourse upon this subject, the principal one being that it was ion delicate a subject and might bring a blush to the check of the bearer, who may have been addicted to (lllllclllg. If this were the case he allowed it would not stand thorough investigation and should not have a. place in the category of harmless mnusenicnts. I append a number of texts, quoted by the speaker, which may not be amiss to the pleasure seekers in the dance to peruse at their leisure : The llth chap. of Judges and 34th verse ; lst Samuel, 18th cli:ip., 6th to the 9th verse ; 2nd Samuel, Bill chap , l‘ZIh to 15th verso ; 3lst chap. Jeremiah, let to 4th verse. In all the aliuve pas- sages nothing but “ Religious duucing " is referred to and in no single case is there a mingling of the sexes, as in the “ Modern dance.” The following pas- sages, also of a different character were referred to. The 32nd chap. of Exodus. and verse 19 ; lst Sam, 30th chair, and verse lli ; Job let chap. and 11th to 14th verse ; Matthew 14th chap. and (3th to 12th verse. By referring to these pus- snges the reader will notice that they all embraced bad company and that the pin-- ticipators therein Inii'l a. bad termination. I do not wish to take up too much space in your paper by giving a. full account of the sermon but bog leave to insert a few of the objections urged against dancing : Because it injures the health ; it injures the purse ; draws our thoughts away from God ,- it very often introduces into dangerous societies ; the modern dance is very Often demoralizing in its tenden- cies. In closing a. very urgent appeal was [Hilde to the members of the Metho- dist. Church to not throw open the doors of their homes to the pleasure seeckers in the dance. We are not able in this short letter to do justice to the speaker but suf- lice it to say that the sermon was a grand exposition of the evils that flow from such an indulgence. Mr. Edward Gnllanougli has returned from serving as a Juror on the Petit Jury for some three weeks. During the term he was appointed Foreman several times. We do not doubt but that he will almost be able to plead a. case himself after this. Rev. Mr. Totten is still carrying on Revival Services in the Methodist church and meeting with very fair success. Owing to the late freslict, the dam up- on which Mr. Lungsiufl', of 'l‘liornliill, put so much labor, has been entirely washed. away. Had he listened in the advice given by some of his fiicnils last full the case might have been otherwise. The loss sustained is somewhere in the neigh- borhood of $800. “’1: hope the next timoho rebuilds it will not be upon a sandy foundation. APRILS, 1é84. SPRINGHILL. (From our own Correspondent.) The quarterly review entertainment hold in the E. Church, Kingliorn, passed off very nicely. The attendance was not so large as might have been, but no doubt the muddy condition of the roads kept many at home. We think that enter~ taiumsnts of this kind should be en- Cnnraged, as they give a. chance to youth- ful readers and reciters. Spring returning the pedestrians can be seen promenading the track of the N. R. C. It Would seem that the laws, that a few years ago, were so strictly enforced, hiiil passed into oblivion. We are pleased to know that Mr. Tur- kington is recovering from his injury. It is no“ supposed that he will looao part of the sight. of one eye. Mrs. Breckin and family have returned from their visit home. One man in this town keeps better hours than he used to. Spring must be coming,for house-wives are cleaning up the back yards, Wlllte‘ washing, and pnpering. We are glad to see some of the young men of this village going so regularly to the Salvation Army Aurora. Judging by their (laiin walk and conversation in great change has been wrought. Yes there has. Mr. John anse, 3rd con. King, is the father of a twelVe pounder. Another family that had not had this kind of a Visitor for thirteen years, was agreeably surprised by iwms. The papa is exceed- lllgly elevated. so much so that the price of grain has gone up at King Station. Dr. Show has purchased one of Mr. ’toss's bloods. His practice is increasing, so, that one horse could not do his driv- ing. Several critical cases of illness are in this neighborhood at present. Di‘. Hil- lary has been called in consultation. \Ve expect to see the suckers soon. It is hoped that people will not stake the Humber this Spring. Live and let live. Dame rumour says that a detachment of the Salvation Army intend to lay siege to Springlnil. Tliereis plenty of worn in the drill shed for a large gathering. The Wish of the people is that they may CUllle. The remains of Mr. George Stokes, who was ill a. long time at his brother’s, Mr. James Stokes, were interred in the English Church burying ground on Fri- dny lust. The deceased leaves a large family to mourn his death. 0 â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"~¢ WESTON. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Some six weeks ago, the Salvation Army came to Icconnoiire in the village. On their arrival With drums beating and colors flying, they marched through the principal streets linlzing in front oi the C. M. Church kindly szrunl’eil as a temporary Citadel, from which they opened fire on the enemy. the battle he- lug regularly renewed twice a week. Tlicii‘ audience was large every night. During the first two Weeks notmthstand- inn an incessant and apparently well-di- rected fire at the enemy‘s earth-work it seemed to have but little effect. At the end of that time a breach could be plain- ly noticed, ilcsertei's from the enemy coming in at first bufrone at a tiine,zifter- wards two and threeâ€"some of them bold- ing prominent positions in the enemy‘s ranks. Whether they will prove true and loyal followers of the Cross, time alone can determine. Your correspond- ent is free to confess that the dress, adâ€" dress, and general proceedure adopted by the army of our orthodox churches with thth solemnity bogetting so momentous a subject ; nevertheless the army ap- pears to be doini.r a good work and reaching a cliiss even in the village that pulpit eloquence or friendly persuasion was equally ineffectual to amuse t) their danger. I therefore heartily bid. tlieui " Gail speed." Sill-run AND PRESENTATIONâ€"Inn C.

The good Lliings provided having been partiiken of, Mr. Joe. Brown, on behalf of the mem- here, presented Mr. Forsytli with a. bean- tiful illuminated address and a. costly and handsome bronze clock. The presenta- tion proved to be a. genuine surprise, so much so that the recipient was some time befni‘e he could find words to return his sincere thanks. A very pleasant evening was spent by all present. Mr. Forsytli‘s departure from the village is generally regretted.

The river is clear of ice and the waters are slowly abetting Last Week the high water took away the break-water near the toll-gate, and. also considerably undermined Mr. Romp tree's stable and slaughter house, and bad the break-water not given way, it is more than probable that it would soon have been in the river. There was an enormous jam of ice near Councillor Mounsey’s. Quiteanumber have been fishing their summer wood out of the swollen river. One woman very anxious to getasticka little too large for her strength was pulled from the bank and did not come out as dry as she went in. The turnpike-man and turnpike-wo- man turned out of the turnpike-house for fear that the turnpike-house would mm the turnpike-man and tumpike-won-ian out into the river. On \Vednesday of this week, there will be an election to fill the vacant chair in the Council, caused by Mr. Mackie’s re- signation. Messrs. Farr and Allan are the aspirants. Both will be elected â€"ono to go to table, the other to stay to home. Mr. Watt is refitting, repairing and re- stocking the Montreal House and will open before long. On Friday afternoon, the roof of Mr. Todd’s works caught fire. Al: one time it was thought impossible to save the building, but through the vigorous efforts of all bands in the village it was extin~ guished. Damage about $100. The high winds on Saturday caused a. couple of chimneys to blaze, but no (lam- age done. “There is our fire-engine l The Rev. Mr. West and his bride have made their appearance in our midst.
