The Calholie cliureli benefit held
at Martin's hall IiihI Saturday
night, was a success from a literary
point of view, every number iToing
tendered very creditably, but
financially- it was not a snicce..
The performer's railroad expenses
over run the door receipts, and had
it not been for other funds on
hand the ladies who were no en
thusiastic and who worked so
energetically would have found
tlictu.sclves somewhat in arrears.
However, they managed to get out
without going down in their
pockets. The night was anything
but a pleasant one aud the small
