There was a fair attendance of the One hunga Rifle Volunteers on Monday even ing's inspection. After being drilled for some time by Sergeant Wainhouse, a j meeting was held and several matters discussed. Dr Zinzan was unanimously elt«ted to be assistant-surgeon to this corps. I

f- The annual social gathering in connec- ! tion with the Band of Hope Society took place last evening in the Congregational Sunday-school, Newton. At the close of the tea a short meeting was held, and some ! sacred music then given by the Newton school choir. The entertainment closed with the amusing " Trial of John Barley cor^* This was capitally tendered and c'Q >reat amusement. The National J& v tons closed the proceedings. Misbjj^Aviour in church has been a fruitful theme for satirists since the days when garrulous Mr Pepys laboured to take by the hand the " pretty modest maid," who " took pins out of her pocket to prick him if he should touch her again," A gross abuse of religious decorum some times needs harsh medicine as a remedy. We give that adopted by Henry Clay Dean, who was at one time chaplain of Congress. The anecdote is from tho Pacific Methodist: — " Being worried one afternoon by the perpetual turn ing of his congregation to stare at every fresh arrival, Mr Dean stopped in his sermon and said: < Now, you listen to me and I'll tell you who the people are as each one of them comes in.' He then went on with his discourse until a gentleman entered, when he bawled out like an usher,' Deacon A—— who keeps the shop over the way,' and then went on with his sermon. Presently another man passed up the aisle, and his name, resi dence, and occupation were given. So he continued for some time. At length some one entered the door unknown to Mr Dean, when he cried out ' A little old man with a drab coat, and an old white hat j don't know him — look for your selves P That congregation was cured."— Post.

A wag who had been troubled with rats' informs a friend seriously that he greased a thirty feet board, filled it with fish-hooks, set it up at an angle of forty-five degrees, and put an old cheese at the top. The rats went up, slid back, and he caught thirty of 'em the first night.
