Tho error was immediately discovered, and emetics administered, and a messenger dispatched for Dr. Cooper, who attended with all possible haste.

A ball will take place in the Hall on tho 15th August, to provide funds for the brass band t> enable them to send for music. A bumper house is expected on both occasions.
