The Union school picnic at the Bend
last Friday was a grand success. The
day was fine and the people turned out
in great numbers to coo honor to this
great event. The clay was vent in
games and amusements such as is wont
to gladden the hearts of the ' children
and too much cannot be said in favor
of the several teachers who had charge
of the affair and who, no doubt, felt
responsible in regards to leaking it
interesting and amusing. We axe
glad, however, that our teachers are
well able to cope with difficulties which
usually arise on such occasions and
proved themselves masters' of the situ-
ation. -Several of the pupils of our
school are writing on the examinations
this week at Zurich public school. We
wish the children every success. -On
