UPS AND DOWNS, On Sunday afternoon
a couple of our town ladies decided that
they would be the better of some fresh
air and. exercise so decided on a tramp,
their objective being the 12th Con. of
Ashfield. Instead of talking about
spiritual matters as one might expect on
the day, they counted the pitch holes in
the road, and declare the number from.
Finlayson's corner to the 12th to 76; and,.
of course, they encountered t'6 holm (the
same ones) on their return, maidng 152
which they bobbed into and out of. How
much farther they travelled thanthe at -
tusk distance would require a mathepnnatt-
chinn ,to figure out. mese brave ladies
were at church inn .the evening apparent-
ly none the worse for their many ups and
downs. • •
