Tonic Sol-fa. â€" That the Tonic Sol-fa method is the Best System on Earth for the Vocalist, has been fre- quently and conclusively proven. This in the united testimony ot many of the ablest Teachers of music in Europe and America. As a Vocal method it is Complete, the only true, natural,, educational system in use. Such re- sults can not be obtained from any other system. It is complete as a Primary method, but its greatest utility is not fully seen till we come to more Ad- vanced work such as the singing of Classical Choruses.

The happy event took place at the residence of tho bride's parents where a large attendance of friends and acquaint- ances were present. Rev. Mr. Ross officiated. The bride and groom were among our most respected young people, and we wish them a happy and prosperous career through life.â€" Com. Mb. James will give a Lecture and Entertainment in Haskett's Hall on Wednesday evening, Feb. 10th, for the purpose of organizing a class in Note-reading, Siriging and Voice- culture. The program will consist of a Lecture on Mnsic in general. Sing- ing and Voic» -culture in particular. Criticisms will also be given on differ- ent "Systems," "Metiiods of Teach- ing," c. There will be a number of Select Solos and Readings given dur- ing the evening. None should neglect this opportunity to learn to read and sing music at mht. Mr. ' James has been very successful as an Instructor in the art. He is rated among the best Teachers of Singing in Ontario. His terms are low for a teacher of hii abDity. Join the class. It is customary, io, some localities, to teach children to think of a text as they drop their pieces of money into the cotribution-bex. A certain little girl at Sunday'Bchool, recently, saw the box approaching,, and began to search in her memory for a text. She hesitated for a few moments, dropped the dinoe in the box, and exclaimed, triumphantly "A fool and his money are soom parted I" SWELLED NECK.

A MODERN wit defines the difference between men and women "A man gives forty cents for a tweutj-five cent thing he wants, and a woman gives twenty-five cents for a forty-cent thing she dees not want." A Western newspaper is responsible for the following School-teacher, to a stupid and fat boy "You are better fed and taught, or else I am mistaken." Stupid Boy "Yes, I be, 'cause I feeds myself, and you teach me." "I Remember," said a Detroit boy to his Sunday-school teacher, you told me always to count fifty when angry." "Yes Well, I'm glad to hear it. It cooled your anger, didn't it " "Yoa see, a boy he came into our alley and made faces at me and deared me to- fight. He was bigger'n me, and I'd have got pulverized, I remember What you said, and began to count." "And you didn't fight " "No, ma'am. Just as I got to forty-two, my big brother came along, and the way he licked that boy would h|^e made your heart glad. I was going to count fifty land then run." The band concert has come and gone, and it there is anything in the old saying "laugh and grow fat," there should be a material increase of that commodity as a result of this concert. The weather was most unpropitious, hindering many from attending, and they .missed a treat, for the band alwiays gives a good entertainment, and this was no exception to the rule. It's a delight to listen to Mr. Anderson on any occasion, and^it is well worth travelling a hundred miles on foot to hear W. J. Benson I tell you he's a cracker, and no mistake. It's a mighty big house he can't bring down,, and he down'd them all on Friday night. The band gave some good selections and Mr. James' efforts wer highly appreciated. Mr. Marsh gave a comic reading from "Mark Twain" which was rich in itself, and well rendered. In fact all the performera did theraselyes credit, not excepting the chairman, Wm. Brown, Esq. The farce was most amusing and brought rounds of laughter from a delighted audience. We trust our band may go on and prosper, im- proving themselves, as well as wafting sweet strains of music on the atmos- phere of our village from time to time from their brass instruments. Johnson's New Hotel. â€" Amongst the new buildings erected in town the past season Johnson's new Hotel holda a conspicuous place. Situate on Barker street within a hundred yards of Poulett, right in the centre of the business part of the town, the handome briek structure appears to advantage and at once attracts attention. He has for some time past been Busy fitting it up, and this week has moved into the new house, where be has ona of the handsomest and most conveni- ently arranged hotels in town. la order to afford good cellarage, the ground floor is reached by broad steps leading into an ample hall. On either side of this are. snug sitting rooms, and to tlfe rear are the large dining room* bar, etc. Ascending the stairs we find on the first floor two handsome parlors in the front, and on this floor and the next are about twenty fine bedrooms, well ventilated, opening into commodious halls, and well furnished. Last, though not least, is thti atnple kitchen, situated to th rear on the ground floor, which Mr. Johason rightly judges to be the most important department of the house, and ha has provided every faciUty lor getting up first-class meals for his guests. Mn Johnson has long been, favorably known amongst farmera and the travelling public, and in hia handsome new premises he will no doubt do a larger business than ever.. â€" [Owen Sound Times.
