On Thursday evening a most interesting meeting of the Educational Society was held in the Centenary Church, under the Chairmanship of Pref. Burwash, Sackville. There was a large attendance. The report read by the Rev. = J. Deinstadt showed an increase of about $30. Rev. D. Chapman followed in an able speech plead- ing the advantages »f higher education. He spoke very strongly upon the necessity of educating the whole man—physically, én- tellectually and morally. Then came Rev. E. Evans, im a speech of wonderful power. He waintained that the Apostles of our Lord were the best trained men of their times for the work that they had to per- form. By soundarguments and apt illus- trations he fairly proved his preposition. Se delighted was the audience with him that when he atte:apted to sit down he was} requested tu go on again, which he did to the great pleasure of all. Rev. Dr. Stewart urged the claims of a sound winis- terial culture. Only well trained men can properly refute the various errors that are abroad, and defen| the great truths of the Bible. His speech: was a model of argu- mentatiye ability and appropriate illustra tration. Benediction was pronounced by the President.

Dreadful Accident at Souris. It was last Saturday evening. T

tle of the week was enfled and iKereen vol Souris were prepartug fer the advent of the sacred Day of Rest. The heur for the aryival a train was just appoaching, When & solitary coy might be seen w ins her way in the aiities of "the mates rors I 1 road ack. She appeared thoughtful and de- jected—inclined toe quiet reflection and much ruminating. For several consecutive years she had been a patient and consistent stripper, and was dear to her owner for the multitude of her milk. Trained, as if for an athletic contest, no superfluous flesh en- cuunmbered her movements or destroyed the beautiful symmetry of her framework. Long had her face been familiar to the oldelh inhabitant of Souris. Sharp in her outline, and angular in her features, she possessed the marks of a distinct individu- ality. She combined the dignified reserve of ain ancient stock with the easy manners of the itinerant vagabond. The mould in which she was cast must have been broken, for there never was a_ cow like herself. She was the sole survivor of a hardy race ef long horned pioneers that fattened on browse and flourished on stubble. Her career had been uninteresting, and, indeed,

prosaic. She was the last to leave the readside on the approach of winter, and in early spring she greeted with all the enthusiasm of a well cultivated appetite the first inviting

thistle that struggled through the soil. Venerable in her appearance and conserva- tive in her instincts, she was the connect- ing nk between the present and the past. Lit ls thought she of impending danger, or of the precarious tenure ef vaccine exist- ence. For years she had wandered in the und sturbed enjoyment of romantic and un- tethered license, and her thoughts were with the years that were gene. Suddenly her

cogitations were disturbed by the shrill shriek of the railread whistle, and the even tenor of her perequinations

was rudely checked by the the inepportune interference of the cow-catcher. Had her limbs been constructed of gutta percha they might have bent; had they been built ef cast iron they might have withstoed the shork, but being bene they snapped. It was svon vbvieus to the most disinterested ob- server that her usefulness was gone. Eager inquiries were immediately instituted for the proprietor of the quadruped, and in a few moments the burly form of the popular and genial Read Superviser appeared upcn thescene. First he looked upon the cow, then upen the Conductor, and lastly upen the cow-catcher. His eye was in tine phrenzy rolling, while his lowering brow betrayed the thoughts too deep for utter- anc: that swelled his capacious bosom. Several of the bystanders were summoned asa council of war, and proceeded to hold a post mortem examination on the frag- ments. Shortly after they resolved them- selves into a choir, and chanted a solemn equiem to the sympathetic accompaniment of a hastily improvised fiddle. Amid the jarring melody of harmonious discord might be heard the gruff baritone of the bereaved owner chanting the time honored wail, of which the following is the refrain :- - My drimmin dhou lived, and before she was

dead She gave white butter to eat with my breadl ; She gave me white milk to drink with my skone, But now its black water since drimmon dhou’s gone. ee a ee oe Special Notices. | Frovur—200 bbls. White Buns, and 100
