He describes the affair as a grand success in every respect, the hall being well filled by the elite of the surrounding county, and the pro- gramme, which was somewhat lengthy,carried out in an excelient manner.

Ir is the testimovy of all men who have tried it that “Myrtle Navy” tobacco has the most delicious flavor of any tobacco in the market, and that it leaves none of the un- pleasant effects in the mouth which most tobaccos do. The reason of this is the high and quality of the leaf, which is the finest known in Virginia, and the abseace of all deleterious matter in the manufacture.

Tue Northern Light left Georgetown for Pictou at six o'clock this morning. During the t week Georgetown harbor has been b with heavy drift ice, on which the steamer was obliged to land her passengers, and owing to which it was impossible for her to get freight on board. A consider- able break was, however, made in the ice yesterday, and it is thought that in a few days the steamer will be able to again come up to the wharf,

The Superintendent was promptly informed of the fact, and at an early hour the following morning he and Trackmaster McPherson arrived on the scene. They immediately set about re- pairing the danage and to-day all trains are running on time.

Tue Patriot office had an appearance of unwonted activity to-day.

A YOUNG MAN named Evans, in the em- ploy of Mr. Geo. Burris, Butcher, Lower Malpeque Road, is now suffering severely from lockjaw, the results of a cut received en his thumb, It appears that abont a week ago he was engaged cutting turnips for some cattie and by mistake struck his thumb with the cleaver, splitting the nail and severely cutting the thumb. He did not pay much attention to the matter at the time, and went about his duties as usual. A day or two afterwards he felt himself getting sore and stiff about the neck and finally he was obliged to take to his bed. Medical assistance was called in and it was discovered that the youth was suffering from lockjaw. Tvery effort was made to alleviate his sufferings. He was placed under chloroform, and the injured nail removed. Not improving much, he was taken to town last evening, where he could be nearer medical advice. At the present time he is somewhat easier, although hia recovery is very doubtful,

Tue sensational story published in the Patriot a few days ago concerning the ex- istence of a case of leprosy in the family of a widow named McKinnon, who resides on Water Street, near the Railway Station, is without foundatien. The case it supposes to be leprosy is merely an her- editary scrofulous disease which is not at all contagious. Since the publica- tion of this report, Mrs. McKinnon has been as effectually isolated as if the yellow flag were nailed at her door. None of the neighbors would purchase anything in her shop, neither would they on any ac- count enter her premises. Persons in passing by would stand in front of the house and stare in at the windows, while others more timid would go by on the other side. The poor woman thus ‘‘boycotted” is in a sad plight, and her chances of vbtaining a livelihood are, for some time at least, con- siderably diminished owing to the thought- less action of our contemporary.
Mr. Vixnicompe’s Concert, which will come eff oa Thursday next, promises to be one of unusual interest. The chief object is to show the advancement that has been made, in a comparatively short time, among some of our young ladies and gentlemen upon the king of instruments. Those who are sufficiently advanced in their studies have been formed into an Orchestral Clasa, for the study of harmony, quintette and duet playing, which enables them to play in more correct time and tune, and also giving them greater confidence in them- selves. The crchestra is composed of three first violins, five second violins, one cello, one contra bass, with solo cornet and piano. See what the Boston Globe says: “ Perfec- tion cannot be gained by all; and by the help of a patient, intelligent teacher, with an hour a day of practice, much enjoyment can be had in a comparatively short time. The ladies have done much toward remov- ing its social barrier, and the instrument, in their hands, displays grace and ease. Possibly the day is not far distant when every home can have its string quartette; and the refining influence of Haydn, Mozart, and other masters will make the home circle brighter and brighter.”

A Visit to an Artist’s Studio in Souris.
It may not be generally known that we have an art@t in Souris, whose best works would bear fair criticism from art connois- seurs.
If avy reader of THe Examiner will take the trouble to enter the§paint-shop of Mr, Brennan, he will be surprised to see the many truly beautiful works of art which adorn the walls of the building. Of course, a stranger would consider it singular for an ordinary paint-shop, to be adorned by valuable pa ‘ntings presenting such an artistic appearance, unti! be learns that Mr. Brennan paints all the hand- some pictures himself, and is an artist of no mean order.
It is a little more than two years since Mr Brennan took up the profession of Raphael and Michael Angelo, Previous to that time he never drew a brush on canvas ; but, never- theless, the wonderful progress he has made in the art is astonishing. He has already painted many portraits of the eminent men of the East. His picture of the late Hon. Law- rence Kickham is as fine a production of artist's skill as one would wish to look upon, This painting has been purchased by Mrs Kickham for a good sum, and now adorns her drawing-room. His picture of the late lamented Father Dan is as true to nature as can be—the venerable features of the ssinted Priest are as truly portrayed,as could possibly be accomplished. There are many more of his pictures deserving of note, one particu- larly so is that of the genial Postmaster of Souris. This portrait is as true a likeness of the esteemed townsman as (Gustavus Dore could do, Another painting of the painter himself is an excellent production. For want
of s I conslude this notice of our Souris’ artist, Ustan Wrisa,

RINGING THE CHANGES,
How wondrous the changes in many things sefrn,
Contrasting the present with things that have been;
A few rolling years ring their change upon man,
Not orly on form, but, of mind, choice and plan;
As science develops, new light lends itsray, _
And the past seems but glimmer compar’d
1 with to-day;
Che lightnings bright glare chases gloom from our nights,
A nd star-lit our streets with electrical lights ; ;
then our Councillors change by recording their
‘ wills
lo carry our laws out, but not pay the bills;
Fair justice suggested to pay them before,
But now, the Rum int’rest says “pay them no more.”
In politics also, see changes arise,
Which no man may miss if he opens his eyes ;
Your patriot statesman dares greet with de- ight,
A self-sacrifice so he carry the right—
His cause is the right one, believe it you must, :
For self seems so sunk in discharge of his trust.
‘Mid the haze and the mist of very few years,
What strange metomorphosis sometimes ap-
pears, Since fam’d Coles and Whelan—of memory
ear, Did and dar’d for the people, with motive sin- natal
cere; They champion’d Reform under Liberal view, And carried the day well, and faithful and true; From that bright milky way—that galaxy fair Rose ome stars resplendent—our Premier was there, Was there amid smiles, “smiles surrounding” to
sit,
And smil‘d as he felt, he was heaven-form’d Grit;
Thus changes are ringing, and right they should
ring,
If advancement attend the changes they bring;
You may look where you will, this fact you will find,
That most men you meet have their axes to grind ;
And however sincere and faithful to trust,
Are watching their chances to kick up a dust.
So times were when Patience, with old dusty screen,
Would mourn for a sifter to keep herself clean,—
Now, mark ! the great change is, she touches a ring,
So wondrous the change, you may hear the maid sing
The Song of the Sifter, for one and for all!
The “a is so great;—for there’s no dust at all,
SIFTER.
