DONA TION AT BROOK.

On last Thursday Rev. J. Sebring and family received a pressing invention to an early dinger” at the residence of Mr. Warr; towards the middle of afternoon they received intelligence that company had arrived at the Parsonage and was .awaiting the return of the minister and his family: Mr. Warr and lady who understood the programme, ac companied them home and on arriving there found the parsonage swarming with guests who, after heartily saluting them, first introduced them to a table loaded with presents and then to a table spread for supper and fairly loaded down with the most tempting food. The surprise was complete. After an hour of conversation, music and singing the company partook of the repast and towards sundown dispersed leaving the family in Juiet possession of their home. !ro. Sebring has a host of friends here all of whom are desirous to have him return to us by the coming conference.
