At the regular meeting of this society held in the "Clachan" on Friday, 15th inst., Judge J. A. Forin by his lecture entitled "Scottish Pioneers in Ontario" delighted a large audience, who, despite the inclemency of the weather, had turned out to hear this most interesting lecturer. Early in his address, one realiz- ed that this was no ordinary speaker to whom they so eagerly listened, but one with a vivid im- agination. and brilliant mind. His description of the emi- prant ship sailing to a new land --its horrors and hardships-- grim tragedy in the form of death, frequently stalking its decks, took one back into the atmosphere of the last century. He told of the joy of the emi- grants, when at last the welcome sight of the bald peak of Cape Breton heralded the approach of the land of their dreams, and the end of their long martyrdom, little knowing of the hardships yet to be encountered, in the un- accustomed work of cutting down hardwood trees, and try- ing to tear a living from the meagre, although prolific patch- es of soil, left between the stumps. Always master of his subject, this lecturer will long be remembered by those who were privileged to hear him. During the evening, an attrac- tive vocal program was rendered by Miss Tristram, 4Ir. A. Clarke and Mr. Addy and repeated re- quests for encores from an ap- preciative audience, were re- sponded to by the artists, in a delightfully good natured man- ner. Miss Frame and hfiss Stev- en capably accompanied them. During the social hour, Miss Frame delighted everyone by playing a selection of Scottish songs.
