Tux Methodists of the Little York Circuit are preparing for a Bazaar and Refreshment Table to be beld just before Christmas. As the settlements of Union Road, Brackley Point Road, Stanhope and Pleasant Grove, in addition to Little York, are included in oue circuit, it is expected that the affair will be on alarge scale. Already committees are being formed at each settlement in order to make both Bazaar and Refreshment Table a success. George E. Full, Esq., has gen- erously gran the free use of his com. modious cheese factory, situated near the Saw Mill Bridge, and just about the centre of the circuit. The object of this effort is to cancel the remainder of the debt on the new parsonage. Already over $950 have been raised towards the cost of the pars. nage on a subscription list; and more than one hundred dollars have been rromised towards the ‘e- maining debt of $200, on. condition that the whole is raised. The friends, therefore, feel that having done so well themselves, are justified in making. this appeal to a wide goo- stitaency. We wish them évery sudcess in their fenture,

Wepvine Cuimes —One of the pleasantest social events of the season took place to-day. Che happy pair were J. A. Barlett, Esq., and Miss Magyie, eldest daughter of the late Mayor Rankin. The eli‘e of the City were present at St. James’ Church to witness the ceremony. The youth and beauty. f the town present made the scene charming. The service was conducted by the Rev Kenneth MacLenvan. The wedding presents were numerous and costiy. We congratulate the happy pair On the event, and wish them the joys of a blissful honeymoon.

Mr. Unsworrs, Mechanical Engineer of the P.E.1. Railway,observed a bubbling spring of fresh water on the shore near the Round Heuse. Believing it to be a never-failing source of water supply and part of a stream leading from Quirk’s pump, he struck a B line from the boiler to the pump, and on it bored a well at the corner of the Round House on Water Street. The water is very superior, is soft and abundant, and a trial showed that it is almost impossible to reduce it. It is of great value to the railway, and will be con- venient for fire purposes.

Tue Customs Authorities at Georgetowa made an important seizure of smuggled goods at Whiteman’s Poiat, a few days ago. On the arrival of the brig ‘‘ Alaska” (which by the way is owned by Mr. Geo. Whiteman, the defeated Grit Candidate in the Murray Harbor Contest) at Montague, from Boston, it was observed that the cargo was not com- plete. The official immediately set to work to investigate the matter,and their efforts were crowned by the finding of twelve casks of kerosene, a large quantity of tea and other merchandize. The vessel in the meantime cleared, It is expected that besides the cone fiscation of goods the fine will be enforced.

We have bad a call to-day from W. H. Olive, Esq, of St. John, N. B., who repre- sents the old, well-established line of steamers, owned and managed by the Inter- national Steamship Company, of Portland, Maine. This line is now making four trips a week between St. John and Boston ; leaving St. John every Sinday, Monday, Wednes. day and Friday, at 8 a. m., touching at Eastport and Portland, en route to Boston. They have recently added to their fleet of steamers the new ‘‘State of Maine,” whose tonnage is about 1,500 tons, the largest and best equipped steamer of the line. There is no better equipped or fitted up steamer afloat. she has sleeping accommodation for five hun- red passengers, whose every wants are attend- ed to by an efficient staff of officers. Also at present, and running in connection with the above steamer, steamers ‘‘ New» York,” ‘*Palmouth,” and ‘City of Portland,” all of which are in splendid order and condition, and having a well ordered staff of officers, makiug their trips regularly and on time. We understand that this Line of Steamers, since their establishmenr, (which is now about twenty years) have never lost a passenger while on their trips, which speaks well for the safety and care with which they are managed, and makes this Line a desirable route to travel by. We take great pleasure in recommending persoas who are going to the United States this season to go by this route, feeling assured they will be well pleased with their trip. Besides, we understand, through tickets can be had, and baggage checked, threugh to Boston, from any station on the P. E. I. Railway.
