Scheel re -opened on Monday morning.
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. A -
regards "Annexation to that big city on
the hill," we can only say, Varna cannot
favor such a scheme until the Scott Act•

not deceived; evil communications corrupt
-geed mannera.tt In the mune of his remarks
he referred in forctble terras to it letter from
the pen Of D. Martin, which was pLlblishedisl
the: Winghani 7idette of the 14th ' inst.
,The•Writer of that letter has certainly sttong-
ly imbibed infidel viowa and opinions, and'
boldlY ridicules everything sacred, holy and
divine, not omitting ministers, teachers of
theoldgy, ahurehes and all "that true Chris-
tians hind most •dear, while the Vidette
editor champions his cause and explain Words
ridr:rsos his views. The Rev. gentleman, as
failhful-fttchman on- Zion's walls sounded
the note of 'alarm, plainly showed the true
character of the artiele, the poisonous 'nature
of all such writings and fearleekly denounced
thia paper, which so far forgot the interests of
humanity, of public moraine and of right, not
•to say of Christianity, as to not only publish
Such infidel sentiments, but alseholdly en-
dorse them. We heartily commend the firm
stand for the right, for religion and the Bible,
which the Rev. gentleman has foarleasly taken
and trustthe day may never arrive, as by the
grace of Ged it never will, when infidelity
shall secure the slightest foothold on Canada's
fair soil, .
