The gift aueioii in ail of the funds of the above was hold in the Town Hall, Ciyde, on Saturday last, and proved an unqualified f-uece.-s. d’he Connnittac had j bean nvst umi ing in their woik of collect- | ing articles, and rhe crowded .stalls showed 1 how successful they had been. The hall was tastefully decorate 1, articles of eveiy description were to be found artistically arraii-e l on one large stall in the centre of the hall. The refreshment tabW was fairly crowded with-good things, and was pre-si-led over by a Committee of ladies. The amount of eatable-; c mum- d allowed v hat care had been taken by the ladies and genDemon who supplied them. None of the articles were disposed «>f over the counter ; it being con-ddere I advisable to dispose •■£ ever, thing by auction in the evening.

The bid hog throughout was spirited, evidencing that one and all had gone there thoroughly prepared to give the Church a su- s aulia! bene tit. Daring the sale, and to give the auctioneer a little breathing time, some songs were sang by a lady, Mrs Shaw, late Alisa Mastic, who received a perfect ovation, also by a couple of gentl men, and the choir <-f the Church coutii mted some part I music very creditably. During the evening I the refreshment stall was again liberally 1 patronised, and must have added consider--1 aMy to the fund.
