A Ispleedldly Managed Attar and a Creat
amersea.
A large throng of ladies and gentlemen
promenaded the grounds of Mr. M. C.
Cameron, M.P., on Thursday evening.
The affair, which was under the auspices
of Knox Church, was exceedingly well
managed, and was acknowledged to be
the most successful gathering of the sort
ever held in Goderich. The grounds
were in beautiful condition ; the lawn
was as smooth and even aa a carpet, the
dowers were in full bloom, and during
the earlier pat t of the afternoon the um-
brageous shelter of the handsome orna-
mental trees invited ease and luxurious
rest. Indeed, u the evening wore on,
some of the younger couples were seen to
linger under the deep shade of the over-
hanging boughs. The young Ladies who
controlled the various stands were very
energetic in pushing their sales, and a
large number of pretty bouquets upon the
bosoms of visitors, and a vast amount of
ice cream within, testified that the blan-
diahmenta of the fair solicitors were not
exercised in vain. At night a hundred
lights flashed upon the scene. It wa
like a glimpse of fairyland. The strong
redacting lights threw a bright glare up-
on the elegantly dressed concourse
thronging the wale and promenading
tie lawns ; and the variegated Chinese
lanterns lent an air of brilliancy to the
scene that neither poet nor painter could
describe. The band discoursed sweet
music st intervals in stirring style, and
the hum of merry voices as the visitors
glided under the light bespangled trees,
fell like sweet music on the evening air.
The parlors were filled, and the piazza
crowded, to listen to the concert. Hun-
dreds, however, could not get a chance
to hear the programme. Instrumental
solos were given in acceptable style
by Miss Doyle, Miss Seegmlller, Mia
Carey the Misses Meows, Miss Cameron
and Miss, Hutchison. The Misses Train-
er sang two very tine duetts in their usu-
al
lsplendid style. Mrs. Cozzena and
Miss Kay each sang a solo, and a quar-
tette was rendered by Misses Ferguson
and Meldrum, and Messrs Robson and
Saunders.
During the afternoon crogiei., ring-
ossand other amusements wereprovided

ward by the promoters to make it s auc-

On Saturday morning, July 2r3d, per-
haps the oldest resident of this section
of Canada departed this life, in the
per-
son of Mrs. Splan, aged 107 years. She
was a native of Ireland, and had a vivid
reoollection of the troublous times inci-
dent to the Irish rebellion of 1798. We
are unable to give the date of her com-
ing to Canada, but for many years she
had been a resident of Ooderioh and
vicinity. Some twenty-five years ago
her husband died, and since that
time she hada lived upon that share
of the property which fell to her
portion. About six years since she in-
vested $300 in Dominion securities, and
managed to live on the income and part
of the principal of the investment. So
economical was the old lady that at her
death it was found that there remained
