We neglected to mention in our letter Ot last week that the Union 8. 8. would give an entertainment in Exchange Hall on Christmas eve.

S. is so early in the field., As many would like to attend both entertainments it was thought best to have them pn separate evenings. The Unionists had the hall engaged for Friday evening, hence the Methodists had to choose between Thursday rind Saturday evenings, the majority voting for the former. RemiNgtonian.
