Obituary. A large number of relatives and friends jassembled at the residence of the late John C. MacNeill, West River, (whose death was announced in our issue of the 5th inst.) to pay their last tribute of respect to | the memory of the deceased, who in every relation of life was highly esteemed in the community. The funeral service was con- ducted by the Rev. A. A. MacKenzie, | Presbyterian Minister, assisted by Rev Malcolm Ross, the veteran Baptist pastor. For some years past Mr. MacNeill held the official position of Road Supervisor for his native district, the duties of which he honestly and conscientiously performed with general satisfaction to all parties. Being an intelligent and industrious farmer he kept pace with the improvements which of late years marked the progress of agri- culture in the Province. The deceased en- dured his painful illness, which lasted for sume months, with much Christian forti- tude and resignation to the Divine Will. To his widow and family we tender our deep- est sympathy in their sore bereavement.

The Rey. George Steel.

At a meeting of the Methodist Preach- ers’ Association, held in this city, on the 2nd inst., a well-deserved tribute,which we publish below, was paid to the Rev. Geo. Steel. The rev. gentleman’s great success and usefulness during his long term of re- sidence inthis Prevince certainly entitle him to all praise; and we can truthfully say that he leaves amid the deep regrets and fullowed by the best wishes cf us all :

Resolved, unanimously : That this Associa- tion desires to place on record its highest ap- + preciation of the devotion, ability and useful-

ness of the Rev. George Steel, of Pownal, who is about removing to St. John, N. B., and its | deep sense of the loss sustained in his removal from this Island, where his valuable services and abundant labors for the pst thirteen years, #8 a citizen, an advocate of temperance and a clergyman, have won for him not only the affection of the m>mbers of his congrega- tons, but the highest respeet and esteem of | all classes of people.

Philbarmonic Seciety Concert.

The art of music obtained its greatest development in the small old fashioned capitais of the German Duchies where many of the great oratorios were composed and such wen as Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn quietly lived,

_ Lhe ssme simple little cities also gave to

the world the masterpieces of Goethe and Schiller in the sister arts of poetry and literature. _ There is no reason why a thorough Gevelopment of musical art should not take place in Charlottetown, the pleasant little capital of Prince Edward Island.

It should be remembered that vast wealth and a large population are not at all neccesszry to the happiness and best conditions of human existance and life in a small city where the inhabitants are well read, cultured in the arts and therefore necessarily refined in their feelings may be far more enjoyable thanlife inthe bustle of enormous Cities.

Ano spoitunity to id in the ment of music in Charlottetown will be given to all citizens on Thursday next when Haydn's “Creation” will be performed by the Ph. lharmonic Society.
