The concert and social held at Hunter!

River Hall on the 4th inst., was a decided Notwithstsuding the ravages of | la grippe and the very disagreeable state of | the roads, the seating capacity of the hail was not sufficient to accommodate all, quite a number having to stand. The very good order maintained by the audience | rendered the position Of the Rev. J. | Kirby, as chairman, & very easy one. Hightield choir occupied the platform and fully sustained their well-deserved reputa- tion. Their music, both vocal and instru- mental, is very highly spoken of by those competent to judge. Messrs, Fletcher and Bell, of Charlottetown, also took part in the evening’s entertainment. The abilities of these gentlemen are too well kuown to need any commeut here. An instrumental duet by Misses Horne and Vessey, with cornet accompaniment by C. P. Fletcher, fairly brought down the house, and receiv- ed a hearty encore. A Geelic song by Prof. T. McLeod sent the audience into fits of Jaughter, but was (to some at least) more amusing than instructive. Mrs, G. H. Me- Guigan gave a finely rendered piece of in- strurvental music. After alengthy musical programme had been gone through with and ‘he sale of baskets was over, the meet- ing «djuurned to the upper flat of the hall where young and old seemed well qualified and perfectly willing to relieve the fair

very enjoyable manner and in social con- verse, the meeting dispersed, all seeming by delichted with the evening’s entertainment. The receipts amvunted to $70. The thanks of the committee are hereby tendered Messrs. Bell and Fietcher for their kind assistance, and also to the Hightield Choir. We bespeak for thema full house and a hearty reception should they come to Hunter River again.

Vernon River Bridge Notes.

Now that. the political excitement has con- siderably abated here, the people have again resumed their usual occupations. Business seems brisk and prosperous, es- pecially at the south side of the Bridge, which is considered the city part of the village.

Sports, horse racing, skating, etc., are also enjoyed with true Canadian spirit.

Our Debiting Club was reorganized on Monday, Feb. 10th, when the following Officers were appointed: Thos. Furness, President; Wm. McDonald, Vice do.; Austin Fraser, Secretary. The following subject has been proposed for Monday, Feb. 17: ** Would it be justifiable for the L cal Government to build a bridge across the Hillsborough?” As this is a very in- teresting subject a lively discussion may be expected.
