This kind of enterprise manifested in farmers' sons at such a junior period in life, exhibiting a determination to have the best stock in the neighbor- hood, and thus take a prominent posi- tion in the agricultural community is certainly commendable.

May each of its months, days and hours be better and more profitably spent than any that is gone. New Years day was very quiet in our village dtirlng tbe day, no particular amose- ment of any kind going on; a few persona idling oronnd the shops that were kept open, 91. Bichardson'e being the only business place that observed the day as a holiday. In the evening the annual New Year Anniver- sary of the Methodist Sabbath School was held in the Methodist church. Owing to the \eij bad state of the roads the attendance was not so large as usual. After a sumptuous lea had been served in the basement, and the company had assembled in the lecture room of the church. A most popular programme was gone through. The children performed their parts well. The singing by the school was very good. The dialogue by Edwin Bichardson and company of boys, entitled the "Auction," was well done by Edwin and brought forth loud ap- plause. Under the untiring efforts of Mr. C. Sproule and the company of about twelve that aFBisted him, the Cantata, "Santa Glaus," was well rendered. The solos by Misses. Bellamy, Leitch and Bichardjon were well sang, Jliaees.

Front Our Own Correapondeni. A complete thaw snow almost totally gone. Saturday afternoon it was still freezing, as it had been for weeks almost before, but a little after dusk a sudden change came â€" so sud- den that every one was surprisedâ€" rain began to fall, and quite a gradual thaw set in which continued ail next day (Sunday), but yesterday became more rapid rain all day to-day, and all vestiges of sleighing have disap- peared. I have often observed, when a thaw commenees, that if it is ac- companied by a very high wmd, the wind soon ^ifts round again in the freezing direction, but this is a quiet, insidious, but determined break-up, without ary bluster; not a green Christmas, but a green New Year. Wonder if the thaw is so complete other places, as' our connection with the outer world is very slight, â€" For only twice a week.

Poriy, who were re- ceived "with the ^atm welecnne d friends, both having bera cm this circuit in fmrmer years, and both being highly esteemed. A notable event since I wrote yon last, was tbe martiaee of Miss Helen Nora Griffin and Mr. Frederick Thompson, both of this place- This marriage has been on the taptafora considerable time, and was confidently expected but the sudden aunounee- ment at last, that it was to come off in a few days, caused considerable commtion among all classes. The union was appointed to be solemnized at the residence of tbe bride's step- father, Mr. Thos. Campbell, by Bey; John Pepper. The eventful morning was ushered in by a snowstorm from the East shall we say "Happy is the biide that the snow snows on" â€" snow instead of rain â€" well, by 'making allowance for the climate, and with the knowledge that snow is but rain congealed, snow may be just as aus- picious an omen on the occasion as lain, then let us repeat witii confi- dence, "Happy is the bride that the snow snows on," A great many ol the residents had been invited, and about thirty made their appearance to witness the ceremony, which was per- formed with all due solemnity at 10 o'clock a m. A sumptuous repast wae then served up which was partaken of with zest by the assembled guests. The bride was the recipient of many valuable presents, and the happy couple, that afternoon, started from Markdale on a bridal tour to the States. ^Mtfi|jr, GOOD FOi; ALL.
