This party like the Midhurst one of a short time ago, evidently visited their own cup boards, cellars, and granaries before setting iorth from their homes tosurprise the in- habitants of the Parsonage. The evening was most pleasantly spent in gamesand various kinds of amusements and sing- ing, the party being very musical. Towards lhe end of the evening choice refreshments, abundantly provided by the visitorswere served. An evening that was a sort of to- union among those present and afforded the pastor and his family an opportunity of be- coming intimately acquainted with the per- sons living in the neighborhood of Christ s church, was brought to a close by Rev. Mr Westney thanking for himself and family his many kind friends for their `presence and thoughtful presents, to which Mr. Charles Hickling replied. expressing the pleasure they had experienced in being present at the parsonage, stating in conclusion how much. he had enjoyed Mr. 0. Walton s_selection on the gramophone. The duxology beinz sung by the company and the benediction being pronounced by the pastor, a most pleasant evening came to an end-all too soon.
