The skins were confiscated. Mr. R. G. Holland of Woodbridge has i Kimberley Women's Institute at Mrs. I W. S. Bishop's liist week. Needless to â-  say, he enjoyed himself immensely â€" only { one man in the midst of a number of ladies. He had heard rumors of the : Institute being a place to exchiiiige gossip, I but there was none of that. Mrs. G. H. j Walter gave an excellent paper on "How ] we can help oui' members to have a been engaged for the senior department j ^^^^^^^ Christmas.'

Gibson of Fle.shertnn to Miss Emma Elizabeth McClung, daughter of Mr. Wm. McCluDg of Kimberley. Miss Mina Fawcett of Kimber. ^v acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Robert Croft of O^prey assisted the groom. The young people have taken up their residence in Flesherton. A sad case cf accidental poisoning is reported from Rocklyn, resulting in the death of the three-year-old sou of Dr. B. G. Williams. The little fellow was warned against touching a bottle cf disinfectant, and the doctor went to an adjoining room. When he returned he found that the boy had taken the bottle, and drank a considerable amount cf the contents. The poison was so strong that medical aid could not counteract it, and in a short time the child was dead. Jn their wisdom the County Council has seen tit to withdraw the township of Artemesia trom School Inspector Camp- bell's inspectorate and add it to East Giey, which is looked after by Mr. Huff. Had this township been consulted in the matter there would have beenastrenuoas kick, but it had nothing to say. The ebange was made with a view to evening up tha work in the various inspectorates. There is general regret expressed at Mr. Campbell's withdrawal from this portion of the vineyard. Business at the station was held up one afternoon last week in a rather un- pleasant manner for Agent; Rand. That gentleman loaned the station keys to a Eugenia man who wanted to put freight in the shed. After the stuff had been shut up the shipper thoui;htlessly put tbe keys in his pocket and started for several members who were to have given other papers were unable to be present. The light lunch prepared by the hoste8.s, Mrs. Bishop, was a most happy feature. The Fleshartuu Women's Institute held a fowl supper on Wednesday evening of last week. The ladies went into it with such energy that it could not fail to be a success. The receipts wore $45, and the expenses $20, so that the inenibors feel well repaid. The program in the town hall wan enjoyed by a good crowd. The Ceylon String Band gave a number of selections that brought the house down, feet and all. Miss Mabel Boyd sang a solo, and A. S. Thurston gsive a trom- bone solo. A litttle dialogue in rhyme by R. N. Cornfield and Mai-guerite Run« stadtler was a decidedly taking affair, and entirely in keeping with the event, for did not the woman get the last word? A dialogue, "An Interrupted proposal" by a number of young folks, was well acted and amusing. Rev. Mr. Well wood gave a speech as also did M. K. Richardson who was chairman. A Rare Musical Treat A musical treat of rare excellence was thoconcert given in the town hall by Miss Freeman, vocal teacher, on Monday evening, assisted by her sister, Misa Wilda Freeman, the Misses Mitchell, all of Chatsworth, and Mr. Turner of Owen Sound. The audience, while attentive and enthusiastic, was not of an inspiring nature when numbers are considered, still the performers eave us of their best â€"at least if tbey can do anything better we would like to hear it. We believe the occasion was unique here ; and an entire progrnni of music, vocal and in- strumental, is something we are are not used to, yet there was nothing tedious or tiring in the t wo hours devoted to the entertainment. Misa Freeman has a sweet voice of fair caUbre and under excellent control, while her sister can manipulate the piano in a way that biings forth expressions of astonishment. As we heard one musical criiio siy, "She can jest paw the piano any old way and music comes nut." To put it better, she is ihe'most finished (<nd expert pianist ever heard here. She gave two difficult selections from Liszt, and was assisted by Miss Freeman in two piano duets that were very highly spoken of by competent critics. Mr, Turner on his 'cello was a rare treat, this instrument seldom having been heard in Flesherton, and certainly never with the powerful touch and tone of this performer whose wide experience and pnictice has made him a wonderful master of the instrument,the possibilities of which are fully brought out under his delicate touch. The Misses Mitchell of Ch&tsworth also made a strong and acceptable .-iddition to the vocal portion of the program, the quartet of young ladies giving us both something new and some of the old favorites as well. Their "Come where the lilies bloom" was ex- ceedingly tine. Those talented young women are certainly an honour to their home town, and we would be delighted to hear them again, when we fancy they would receive a reception of a much more remunerative nature than on the present occasion. This was one occa.sion where the reality exceeded by long odds the anticipation, and those who missed hearing it lost an opportunity of rare p'easuro.
