Our Wants. One time last year, Wrn. Parker, of Pearson, bought a lot of laud in the town and proposed to build a town hall, for the use of theatres, visiting Wnycross, and even order ed the lumber for that purpose, when one or two other parties an nounced their intention of buildinf a hall for the same purpose. As it would not pay for more than one to be erected Mr. Parker aban doned the project and used his land and lumber for tenement houses; now where are those Ilall builders? The theatrical season is upon us, but no company will come here because there is no ac commodation for them. Olemans hall is too small and the school house is not in a condition for any kind of use. Wc need a town-hall, school-house, an artesian well, a fire-company, a few more church es and we need more than any thing else, a few energetic citizens.

Some of our pleasure loving people got up another ball at Ole- nian’s hall, last week, and we are pleased to note that the attendance was sufficient torendor our friends a most enjoyable occasion. On the floor we noticed: Col. John C. McDonald, and several different ladies, as ho at tempted to dance with every lady present, and is a graceful waltzer. Mr. A. H.
