An iten apieared in the STANnAso two weeks ago stating that the freight on a car of coal from the mines in fenn. to Toronto was 924.87 while the charge from Toronto to Markdale was #28.14. The fact turns out to be that the freight first quoted was from Suspension Bridge only, being a distance of 83 miles, which makes the G. P. B. charges from Toron- to to Markdale equally as low as the Grand Trunk furthermore, when we take into consideration the fact that thousands of cars are shipped to Toron- to for every one to Markdale, the difference is in favor of the G.

A very social ana enjoyable time was spent at the annual entertainment in Ebenezer church, 11th line, Euphrasia, on Friday evening last. Their church, which fs a commodious brick structure, was comfortably filled, and during the rendition of the entire programme per- fect order was maintained. The conce'rt was opened by singing aind prayer, after which the pastor. Rev. W. J. Sanderson, (acting chairman), gave a few introduc- tory remarks, and resumed his seat after calhng upon the speaker of the evening, Rey. Mr. Roberts, of Meaford, who gave a lecture on "church pews." Mr. Roberts is a speaker of more than ordinary ability. His remarks were well chosen, instructive and highly edi- fying, and was listened to with wrapped attention. Master Rennie was then, called upon, who gave a reading in a very creditable manner, and was follow- ed by a recitation by Mr. J. £. Richards, Rocklyn's merchant Idng, which was well rend^ed. The programme was interspersed by some choice selections by the Markdale Brass Band, who were repeatedly enchored. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Roberts' the band, and others who had taken part. The entertainment was brought to a close by the band playing the national anthem. At conclusion of concert the band boys were treated to an excellent lunch provided by the fair ladies of that section, and for which the boys were truly thankful as the long and cold drive out there had given them a good appe- tite.
