The object is a gcod ono and deserving of the liberal assistance of all persons of Ibe vicinity. Success to it. Tbe party announced to be given in the ball here ou tbe eve of Dec. 19 bids fair to die a premature death, as it meets with poor encouragement on the part ot the majority of the residents of the locality. There are at least three causes for lack of assistance: First, it coutlicts with the etitertuiuoicut tbe people of this vicinity wish to give about Christmas; secoud, many are opposed to raising money iu such a way for such a pur pose; and, third, the minister to whom the receipts are to be given is not nearly so much in need of aid as a number of people of our own locality.
