The shrill. whistle and musical hum o the threshing machine begins to remind us that autumn is here once more. Our -village bas enjoyed an increase in population during the past week, the wife of our genial waggon builder having pre- aenteddier husband with a young son. It would be a great convenience ta many in our village if some.good baker would pay us an occasional visit, and we think it could scarcelyshe unprofitable to him. Mr. Sherritt has commenced work on the new bridge between Varnaand Bruce - field. It is hoped that all possible des- patch will be lased in carrying forward the undertaking, as the road over which the traffic has now to pass is none of the best. On Friday Waning last a number of our villagers turned out and renewed the sidewalk. It was by no means a work of supererogation -the only trouble is tke lumber pile was too eeoon exhausted. However, we must be thankful for the 'great improvement made, and will live in hopes that the geed work will, at no dis- tant day, be resumed and 'completed. A few of our villagers took a day by the lake on Monday. They had a swel- tering time, hnt What with lunching, boat- ing, and driving, they managed to enjoy theraselves. They report unfavorebly of Hayfield as a pleasure resort, as there is only one place .where picnicing. party can have half a show, and that is not very eesy of access. The road is good, access' is eaay enough so far as that is concerned, but -well; perhaps lye need not specify any further than to say that all people we meet with in this world are not equally obliging. • We observe. that your. Hayfield corres- pondent thinks it woeth while to refer to certain statements receetly eniule. anent that place as a pleasure resort We may remind hiin that it was not stated thet•no good could come of a vittit there -the re- freshing breezes from the lake make such a statement untrue -but, that as a plea- sure. resort, Hayfield did not excel.
