We wort in ckrabt m to the raeeete of onr Amatenr DnmiAtte Olab, from • the fiaet that the dob eompEiied neariy all the manbots of the Bnwe Band. Howeyer, we were rery agreeably die- appointed last Monday eTening, not only at the exeellenee of the mnnc, bat the delineation of Nature, and Natare't Laws, as described by the Tarions actors in the Tarioos scenes which has crowned the native talent ' of If arkdale with an nndying sneeess. There were not less than 800 persons ^present, being the dU$ oi out town and the programme, whidi was ahnost exhaastiTe, was enrried oat s a oee ss fally. John Lyons, Eso., was called to tiie ehahr, and gat* a loeid d sa uti^ ' tion of the enoUinc infl a eaee of mvne upon hmnan ehaneter its patridie deyelopment upon nation a l â- entimeat, and the seciu elevation ci it* in flaence. Biin.â€" onmno* Beeitation by Miss McDnff, descrip- t tive of an amusing family scene, where- in Irish wit, hnmoor, and the usaal burlesqne, were mtzodneed in the scene of Mrs, Babby was rendered, us was eyidenced by the enthusiastic ap- plause of the audleoee. Violin T ^.o by Mr. Currie, accompanied on the organ by Mr. Jones, and was well apprecia^d. Duett, by Mrs, B. D. Irvine and Mr. J. Cesar, in the play of "Mr. Mrs. Wnght," was a rendi- tion of too many matiimonial infelici- ties from extraragance and its excel- lent manner of description "brought down the house." Beading, by Miss M. Dundas, was highly appreciated. Song, by Miss F. Ford, with piano 4iccompaniment, possessed a thrilling tenderness that enchanted tbe audi- ence. Musical Duett, by Messrs. Jones and Mason, was rendered in a manner which elicited the applause of all lorers of correct instrumental music. Song (in character), "The Dandy Young Dude," by Mr. W. J. Benson. This was the "take down" of the first part of the programme, and 80 "took" tbe audience that en- core came from all parts of the assem- blgae, to which Mr. B. responded by singing a rare comic, which even brought down higher applause than its predecessor. After a short interlude, the Jiand opened the second part of the proceedings with .an excellent march tune, and executed it with ad- mirable precision and musical abihty. Musical Quartette, by Messrs. Jones, Mason, Jackman Armstrong. As far as musical talent was comprised in the entertainment, these gentlemen acquitted themselves in a manner equal to the best practitioners we have heard for many a day, and gave the audience a medley, which, for sweet- ness of tone and soul-speaking melody, lias never been equalled in Markdale. The Orchestra gave a very enlivening air on vioHn. organ and cornet. Keci- tation, by Miss U. McDufF, who gave expression to some excellent bits at many of the youthful absurdities of the present day, interspersed with oc- casional glimpses of genuine wit and j humour. Song (in character) by Mr, W. J. Benson, "Miss Fogarty's Christ mas Cake." The applause of the evening was hearty throughout, but Mn Benson evidently "brought down the audience." Beeitation, bvMr. B. £. Currie, on tbe serious aspect of a battle-field, recounting tbe scenes in some of tbe engagements in the Crimea. Mr. C, even as an amateur, possesses rare histrionic talent. But, perhaps the best part of the perform- ance was the burlesque of "Courtship iu the Kitchen,"Mis3 Johanna (Mr. A. J. Truss) acted the part of daughter, a seeking spinster. The sex was un- discernable in the anxioun maiden. The coy youth was well sustained by Mr. Benson, in his cool repartee to the supposed boarding scheol miss, and shook the ratters with their ap- plause. Our Band, and Dramatic Club de- serves the commendation of our citi- zens. Our efforts in belialt of tbeir organization is well worthy of the patronage bestowed. Let onr youths work, and they will meet the approv- ing "Slap on the back" of an approv- ing public.

I left Owen Sound on the 8rd inst. at 4 p. m.i azriTing next morning at S a. m. Tha boat by winch I eama. nunely, tha Ifartktm Bills, is a very fine boat, wtuak mms two inpt wedd^ bctWMo Goilingwood and dM ManitouKn Is- land, eaUing at this hafbov Friday. This k considerad tha fresh*water harbor in Canada. Ho matter how roi^h the kka is, the huvest Tsssels can find shelter here, and accommodation between tha two harbmrs for at least 60 vessels of the largest tonnage, and will float the largest vessel in tha world, having a depth of firom 40 co 80 feet. At the big Tob. there is a light-house now nearly completed, which the Oovem- ment have erected. This will be a great benefit to vessels coming into this harbor. Tbe Ugbt-bouse, when completed, will cost about $2,000. Quite a business is done at this har- bor. There is a large steam saw-mill owned by Messrs. Bickson Co., Owen Sound, with a cutting capacity of 20.000 feet per day, also shingles, lath, etc. This company own quite a piece of laud in this township ^St. Edmunds) wooded with splendid pme, maple and birch. There is also an extensive business done in the fish Ime. It is very pleasant to look out of my study window and see about 20 of those fiihing skiSs sail out of the harbor te their fishing places across the bay, and then in the evening w next day return loaded with fisb» which are taken away by steam tugs to be sold at different points. The land in from the harbor south-east for at least five miles, is well adapted for agricultural purposes, but after that until you get to Dyer's bay, the land is very rocky, unfit for anythmg bat bears, which abound in great numbers. There are no doctors here. The peo- ple tell me they don't need any, for they are never sick. My congrega- tion at the harbor is composed of fishermen and millmen â€" EngUsh, Irish and Scotch â€" very respectable and attentive. A number of them follow me to my' afternoon appoint- ment, 2^ miles out. They return and go back again to the same place to prayer-meeting and return tp tbe har- bor in tbe evening^lO miles all on foot â€" Beat that at Markdale ox Mea- ford Boad. I have not got to the- other end of my Mission yet but in- tend (D.V.) to try it next week. I am told it is a desperate road. Mail matter is very stale when it arriyes here. The man who carries it has to walk a distance of 60 miles m two days. It is some consolation to me that be travels tbe same road 1 do when I go to the distant part of my Mission, every two weeks.

About ^o'clock tbe cloods passed over and the rain ceased when tbe people assembled in the grove and tiien listened ta several stirring addresses especiallji migbi we mention that of the Bey.

A hand- some four-square arch was erected on the centre of the square, which was elaborately draped with suitable bunt- ing. Tbe various business places an^ a large number of private dwellmgs displayed a great many flags and ap- propriate bunting. The CJoncert in tbe Town Hall in the evening by the Bairnsfatber family under the auspices of the L. 0. Lodge hero was a grand snoeess, both ia fin- ances and programme. We Lhink the Srogramme was carried but to the de- gbt and satisfaction of all piesent, and'tbe hall was crowded to tbe doors. Should Mr, Bairnsfatber ever visit Flesberton aqain, we believe he would have tbe pleasure of appearing before a very crowded house. Ow^en Sound.
