Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the hall was crowded and the inter- est unagging from beginning toend. Our space this week will not admit of the extend- ed notice we would like to give, but simply torefer to the more marked and excellent features of the entertainment. . Mr. Cnrren created a most favorable impression and re- ceived the evidences in well merited applause. His voice is a baritone of wide compass and nely cultivated. J immy Fax was funny, and of course diminished the doctors` fees by causing the people to forget their ailments, whether real or imaginary. Mr. Devany sang I m Sitting by the Stile, Mary, and (ITL- Tnl.-. LL.l> n nnnInnnA ,u1;J\ Qlnqvnrnnlr " "1.

"The dust The Crimson Glow, by Mrs. Nichol- son and Mrs. McKidd, with duet ac- companiment by Miss -Reiner and Mr. Morgan, was much enjoyed. Mrs. McKidd has a voice of wide compass and exceedingly clear, and the applause-which reeted her performances demonstrated er power to please even a critical audience. Mr. Spotton s reading from the School for Scandal, was greatly enjoyed as might have been expected; and thereis no need to mention the Citizens Band, as their playing is always enjoyable. Mr. James Morgan as accompanist was an important factor in the success of the concert, his accurate knowledge of music and his ne expressive rendering must be a great assistance to vocalists whom he assists. The officers of St. Patrick s Society are to be congratulated upon the success, nancially and otherwise, of this excellent entertainment.

Honor to a Barrie Boy. We notice that Mr. J. F. Palling, who will graduate in medicine in a few weeksat Trinity Medical School, Toronto, has been elected by the 300 students of that school to represent them at the annual dinner, given by the Medical Division of McGill Univer- sity, Montreal, which takes place at the _Windsor, in that city, today. This is a great honor and indicates the respect in -which Dr; Palling is held by his fellow stu- dents. The doctor was a student of Robert A. Ross, M. D., and will no doubt be as suc- cessful in his profession as he has been dili- gent and popular as a student. The ADVANCE congratulates Dr. Palling on the honorable place he holds among his brethren of the scalpel. t ` ' r Young Ladies Foreign Mission Society. Last Friday evening, another of those pleasant social gatherings was held in the basement of the Presbyterian Church, under the auspices of_ the Young Ladies Foreign Mission Society. The chief feature of the evening was a debate on the `question, Should women be permitted to vote the same as men on the Scott Act question.

Last Friday the tug Kendrick steamed into port with a lumber barge to take a load of lumber to Jackaon s Point for Mr. Ram- say. `Mr. J. J. Brown had contracted to furnish a certain amount of lumber to Mr. Ramsay and could not furnish the whole fromVOro,` but hadto get 50,000 feet from Mineeing and ship it from here. The weather was so unfavorable that the tug could n_ot leave with her tow till Monday afternoon at 5 o clock. The Weather. . What a. mercy it is that we are supplied all the time with weather.

ICIZLLUUI ' Many others, as well as myself, would have very much enjoyed the various performances, had it not been marred by the conduct of a large number of young ladies and gentlemen, who, from the beginning to the end of the programme, kept up such incessant talking, laughing and giggling, that they made it utterly impossible to hear the recitations and singing. It, therefore, seems to me that the committee of management should allow said young ladies and gentlemen an evening, when they could` give their mirth and be- havior full vent. I promise to secure them a large audience and plenty of assistance in the vulgar sense, so that atfuture entertainments at the church school house, the many may not be kept away by the few, who seem to lack suicient common sense to know how to behave themselves.

BARRIE METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. For the 47th Week Ending Nov. 20th. 1887. The night temperature registered from `2 to 19, and the daily from 30 to 40, a mean of 23 for the week. The barometer indicated a difference of 0.45in. for atmospheric pressure. A snowfall set in on Saturday night, continu- ing through Sunday, that measured 8in. deep, and lay on the ground during the week, bringing out sleighs and cutters for the rst time this season. The portion of this snow falling in rain guage, when melted, gave 0.75in. water. Another fall on Thurs," day gave us nearly an inch. followed by showers of rain on two last days of 0.51in., and washed all the snow off the ground. The prevailing winds were southern 5, northern 2, veering west 4, and east 3 days ; a strong Windstorm came from the east on Thursday, other days were calm. There was no sun- shine during the week--a very unusual oc- currence. 1.1:'r'i'1:ns ADDBESSED To run: mnrron 'rn1s wnn:x.V C. E. T. S. Band of Hope. Last Friday, the regular fortnightly meet- ing was held in the Parochial School House and was quite as successful as the previous one. Now, as Xmas is drawing near, the children are eagerly looking forward to an entertainment, which has been promised them, also special prizes for regular attend- ance. After a portion of the program had been given, a most instructive address was delivered by Mr. Chas. Drury, M. 1: . P., and similar to the previous meeting, the children paid very strict attention to the remarks which were being made. After several ques- tions had been asked by the speaker and an- swered by the children, the address was concluded, to the regret of all. A vote of thanks was tendered to the speaker, and a welcome will always be given to him on any future occasion. The program being rather long, those omitted will kindly give their assistance at the next meeting, which will be held Friday (D. V.), Dec. 9th, at 3.30 p. m. A full attendance is requested.

The service was deeply interesting. the service of son ' was calculated to produce enjoyment an - the pointed practical scripture readings as well as the sermon could not fail to rouse the. sleepy and indifferent `to thoughtfulness. The text was 15th chapter of 1st Corin- thians and 58th verse :--"'l`herafore my` "beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmove- able, always abounding in the work of - the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor a is not in vain in the Lord. nu_'_ _-_ _,__u-____ _-1-_'..;..1 1.1.- u--- -: [suns nFsi*.TAun1mw smnuncH.V AN xxunmsrxnq Ann nmtrrmuz.

He did not intend to say anything about the objects of the Society. He thought subiects of that sort were not at all appropriate for the pulpit. He was op sed to sensational things being treated o in the House of God for the purpose of drawing` a. crowd. He would, however, refer to one thin in con- nection with national societies. e thought it was a good thing for these societies to exist to nourish national sentiment. When patriotic feeling and national sentiment be- nnnnn ;nA`\`n ant` Ah: An`. inll IPA FAIR`! in come feeble and die out, men are ready to sell themselves and their country to the highest bidder. He commended Scotchmen, Irlshmen and Englishmen for forming societies to keep alive their loyalty and love for their native land, but he hoped the time \ would come when all these societies would I unite to form oneegreat Canadian Society to nourish loyalty and pride in this great Do- minion. c "`L- ---3- EJ-- -L LL- .._-...-.. --.. L- ....l-..-.. LLIIIIIUI-ls The main idea of the sermon was to enforce stedfastness in Christian doctrine, and not to be moved about by every new and novel idea that may be promulgated. He showed the distinction between being stedfast in the sense of the text and the stupid obstinacy that refused to be moved when shown to be in error. Mr. McLeod in the course of his sermon referred as follows to the sermon of the Rev`. D. J. Macdonnell, which appeared" in the Globe of Friday last : Let us rejoice that amid the tides` ani currents of human speculation, we have found a rock of salva- tion on which our souls may rest securely. f And if the church has got possession of the . truth, or believes she has. as God has taught it, then let us bestedfast in theproclamation of it. It is unfortunate, itis a matter great- ly to be deplored, when the trumpet in the hands of the ministry gives an uncertain sound. A case in int was brou ht under our notice last wee .- An honors minister of our church issued in the press a sermon entitled: "Who may be communicants in the Presbyterian Church, and what I would like to say about it is this : That the views expressed in that sermon are not the views of the Presbyterian Church, nor so far as I know the views of any church-under heaven. They are the opinions of the writer on the question discussed, that is all. They will never be recognized as the views of the Presbyterian Church by any intelligent member of that church. That sermon, how- ever, is precisely the sort of writin of which I have been a eaking, that injects oubt into the minds of hristians as to the verities of the faith. It is a futile attempt to accom- modate the doctrines of the Bible to the opinions of men, to make possible a Christianity and Christian life founded on a Christ who is not recognized as Divine. Al- together it is the most deplorable production . I have ever known to come from our Presby- terian pulpit, and involves the question it undertakes to solve in impenetrable mist. 7I"L.. ....-.._L:.._ :La-14:`: :1: an` `t\n\ l|lllII`I" ant` JAS.

Miss Eliza McLean, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid. The groomsman was Mr. John A. Corbett of Mt. Pleasant. The ceremony was performed at the residence 'of_ the bride s father by the Rev. J. J. Cochrane, M. A., of Thornton. The party then sat down to a sumptuous breakfast. The bridalparty then proceeded to the.Cookstown railway station, from which the . young couple started to Hamilton to spend their honeymoon.- On Friday evening a grand reception was tendered the youn couple. About fty in- vited guests assem led at Mr. McLean's to extend their congratulations to the `young couple on their return. The large party then partook of an` excellent repast. after which they spent a very pleasant time in ccnversationand plays till a very late hour. The bridal presents were very numerous, showing bytheir elegance and costliness the high esteem in which the bride was held by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance, . , , . . ' Market,` Notes. The market on Saturday. notwithstanding the dull, drizzly weather, was largely at- tended and the town were an active appear- ance, the number of teams was immense and the streets were crowded with people. The Market . Square was blocked up with wagons and sleighs that sometimes it was difficult to. cross Oollier street. Large quantities of beef were oered at `$4 to $5 per cwt. Some of it,` however, was not ret- class. The scarcity of feed in consequence *of the drought in the summer have compelled farmers` to kill before the animals were properly fatted. Poultry in abundance was on sale. Chickens 250. to 500. a pair, geese 5c. and turkeys 80. a pound. Vegetables were scarce. Butter sold at 25c., and eggs -which were not -plentiful at 20. a dozen, The market was well stocked with hay and the highest price paid was $10 a ton. Very little wood was on sale and that at $3. 50 per .......l Municipal mentions. ' It will be seen that Mr. Thomas Kennedy is a candidate for municipal honors and expects to receive plumpers from the rate- payers of Victoria Ward. We are told that many candidates for these honors are coming forward. That is right. We like to see deep interest exhibited in town affairs, and trust that the people will choose the very best men in the town to represent them. The duties of a councillor are important, requiring brain, energy, prudence and com- mon sense, rightly to discharge them.
