Quite a gloom was cast over Greytown yesterday afternoon when the sad news arrived of a death in one of the oldest and most respected families in the Valley. We refer to Miss Jessie MoMaster, who 1 died at her brother's residence, Tuhikrata, on the 28th inst, of heart disease, Miss McMaster was one of those persons who was esteemed by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance, and much sympathy 1 is felt for the sad bereavement the family has sustained.

The last concert of the -season wa 8 given in St. Matthew's Schoolroom last evening, and was, as usual, extremely well attended, The programme was a strong one. Excellent instrumental music was provided by the Masterbn String Band, Miss Corbett played a very 'such i cessful piano solo, and a duet by Misses i Boddington and I, Smith was well ( rendered and received with favor. The j Orpheus Glee Club were in good voice, though in one of their pieces—" The Chafers' —they allowed their risible faoul- I ties to overcome their vocal powers. The 8 Choir was there, and gave a couple of t glees in (?ood time and tune.

An able recitation by the Rev c ' L; M. laitt was a feature on the programme. The Rev. W.E.Paige thanked, ci at the conclusion of the evening, one and ;a all who had contributed to the success of the entertainments, and intimated that a dramatic performance would shortly be organised in nhe Theatre Royal of a P similar character to the one recently given f! by the Catholics. hi One day Billy and Sammy were playing in a mudhole, and Bill said: " Now, Sammy, let's play we was a bam yard. w Ton bo the pig and lie down and waller ind 111 he a jjijll and boiler' like every* " thing."
