necessarily come in irregularly, would it not be well to have fastened up in the corridor of the Post Office a blackboard on which to write bulletions respecting their movements—when they may be expected to arrive, etc. If this were done, the clerks in the Post Office called upon to answer questions, and the enquiring public would be better accommodated.

A BrEL¥AST CALEDONIAN. Jan, 7th, 1884, Vernon River Bridge Notes. ‘Jack Frost,” who was very quiet all along, has been doing good work of late, constructing temporary bridges, which are very convenient to the travelling public, The ice on the river is strong and good, and numerous teams may be seen travelling on it every day. Our merchants here are doing a consider- able business—supplying the people's wants, which, at this season of the year, are not a few. Christmas, the season of unconfined joy, passed off very quietly, and the new year of 1884 has dawned upon us. There were two persons in this vicinity, who, at the beginning of last year, enjoyed life, and who are now peacefully sleeping in their cold and silent graves. To the friends of those, no doubt, the year 1883 has left a legacy of sorrow, which the succeeding year must dissipate. With the commencement of the new year anew Debating Society has come into ex- istence. It is known as the “Seal River Debating Club.” The following is a list of : its officers :— John McGilvray— President. David P. Irving—Vice President. Patrick F, Doyle—Sec’y. and Treas. A Committee of Order consists ef the following gentlemen :—Messrs. John G. McKenzie, Robert C. McRae, Ronald J. McDonald and George A. Fraser. The first night of meeting for discussion was on Monday, the 7th inst., and the subject discussed was ‘‘Which has done the more to advance civilization, the sword or the pen.” Though the evening was intensely cold the meeting was well attended. Mr. Robert C. MeRae opened the debate, arguing that the ‘‘Pen did the more towards the advancement of civilization,” while Mr. John McGilvray replied, taking the opposite side. Several other members present then took part, and a warm dis- cussion followed, after which, upon ‘‘ ques- tion” being called, the Chairman, Mr. John McDonald, gave his decision in favor of the Pen.” A vote of thanks was then ten- dered to the Chairman, and a subject pro- posed for next night’s discussion, ‘* Would a Starch Factory be a benefit or an injury to this community.” The regular night of meeting of the Club is Monday of each week,
