The concert given in Elliott’s Hall on Tuesday night last under the auspices of the County Orange Lodge for the benefit of the Canadian Patriotic Fund may be ranked as one of the best of the season.

Some of our young people who attended the concert at Bryson last week say the attendance was much in excess of the hall accommodation and that as a result, there was much confusion and an utter absence of order, despite all efforts to procure it. Mr. W.J. Poupore, M.P. and Mr. Thomas Murray addressed the crowd but the gathering was so uproarious that scarcely anything they said was audible to those at the rear.

Owing to some irregularities in the municipal elections in Leslie, Judge Lavergne ordered a new election to be held there last week, the result of which, according to our Otter Lake correspondent, was to give the seat to Mr. N.

The jury in the Bois Franc murder case which was heard at Hull last week, rendered a verdict acquitting Jacques Boileau of the charge. Judge Lavergne in addressing the jury charged strongly against the prisoner. The verdict was received with surprise.
