WHARE FLAT.
A few friends met at the home of the M'Quilkan family at "Whare Flat on Friday afternoon in order to mark in a practical way the sincere sympathy of their many fuends in the loss they had sustained by the fire which destroyed all their corn sta-cks, oulbnilding'', etc., on Good Friday last. Mr M' Curdy, on behalf of the subscribers, said he had a very pleasant duty to perform, and that was to hand over the result c-f their efforts in tbe foim t/i
of a purse containing 58 sovereigns. They all knew that this would not by any means recoup their los*, but it was as a maik of good feeling offered in a practical form, which they hoped the receivers would appreciate. Mr Donald M'Quilkan returned thanks for the unexpected kindness shown by their friends, and he assured all that their kindness wou'd never be forgotten, and their handsome offering would be much appreciated. After a few songs had been rendered, concluding with "Auld lang syne," the company dispeised.
