MOSOGIEL
Junk 17.— A service ol .song entitled "Little Dot" was given in the Presbyterian Church,Mosgiel, on Wednesday evening, the proceeds being inaidot the manse building tund. The performers were principally drawn from the (Sabbath-school children. There was but a sumll attendance, owing doubtless to the inclemency of the weather. The various itf-ms were tairly rendered, Tho duct " Jif.-mtifnl and Vnisht"," by Miss Susie Paterson (who by the way might nave been taken for Little Dot) and Master Fred M'Leod, was very well taken, the voices blending well together. The solo "At the Cio<-s there's room " was iilso very nicely taken by Miss Jane Dey, who gives promise of being heard to advantage yet. " ('lose the door lightly" (in memoriam) was also an item sung by the full choir, which was fully appreciated. The Rev. J. M. M'Kcrrow read the connective readings, and Miss Minnie Cameron acted efficiently as organist; the whole being under the conductorship of Mr R. Drummond.
Result of Insubordination. — A rather unusual ceremony took place at the monthly inspection of the East Taieri volunteers on Wednesday. It appears that one of the members at the Oamaru review, thiuking probably camp life to be a trifle monotonous, broke away and made tracks for home. The affair being placed before the proper authorities, resulted in the volunteer being called out of the ranks, his rifle and belts taken from him, and being publicly dismissed before tho company ; no one beiug more astonished at the result of his freak than himself.
The Late Hunt Club Accident. — Mr H. Lawson Johnson, of Berwick, who was hurt at the last meet of the Otago Hunt Club, still lies at Mrs O'Kane's Commercial Hotel, Mosgiel, where he was removed in an unconscious state after the accident. His injuries were found to be a slight concussion of the brain. Drs Batchelor and M'Caw have been in attendance upon him, and he is progressing favourably, the doctors being of opinion that he will be sufficiently recovered to be moved home in about 10 days. Needless to say, everything has been done for his comfort, Mrs Johnson and a friend, Mr Meller, being constantly in attendance. He has also been visited by quite a host of friends in his misfortune.
