The ladies had the school room laid out in drawing room style and furnished with sofas, chairs, tables, etc. Parlor games were provided in order that all who wished might spend the evening in playing harmless games at which many seemed to enjoy themselves, while others sat in little groups passing the time in quiet social talk. After. the games and the conversation had continued for about an hour, lunch was served, which always adds` so,much_to' the pleasure of an evening's entertain- ment, and this is no less true here than elsewhere.

Irwin, one of Essa s oldest and most respected pioneers, passed away to join the great majority on the;29th -of March, in his 90th year, after a lingering illness which he bore with christian: meekness : and resignation. Captain Irwin received his title for his heroic actionin the rebellion of 1837, when he _ led the "loyalists of Essa and West Gwillimbsry to Toronto to` meet the usurpers of law and order, and has ever since -proved himself to be a loyal and devoted `subject-of Her Majesty.
