('nous Piesne:-On Friday of last week the Centralia church choir com- plenhented itself by holding a, very en- joyable picnic in the Grand Bend park (Exeter side,) on the shores of Huron's bine. The choir members were well. represented, and, together with a few outside invitations, the number of pie- nies was upwards of twenty-five. It might be mentioned that sons' had come a. few hundred. miles to enjoy the pleasure with the choir. Early, in the morning the party was enjoying the different agricultural scenes which came into view. The weather being all that could be desired added nmeh to the day's pleasure. After a ride of a couple of hours the grounds were reached and nothing but good cheer and unselfishness seemed to possess everyone. The lake was too rough for rowing, but boats were portgaged to the old river bed, where they were enjoyed to the satisfaction of all. Vari- ous amusements were participated in, all freely taking part with one or two exceptions, All declined to take part in the "ladies' race over twenty-five," while on the other hand one 'Samme- ville,' who was a professional sport, had to be ruled out as it was not jus- tice that he should compete with the "amateur athletes." This, of course, was done in harmony with the good will of all. The party was photo- graphed several times by a Chicago artist, and the product will be on ex- hibition in the near future, well I wont say where. The ladies are to be "admired," as well as complimented for the way in which they provided for the aching stomachs. There was scarcity in two articles only, chicken and apple pie, there being only one of each, which allowed asmall portion to each on being divided. The return trip was ended about 11 p. m. and was of such a nature as to be appreciated by only those who were present. On the whole the picnic was an excellent one, everything passed off with satis- faction to all, which speaks favorably .for the agreeable feeling which exists among the different members of the choir. All are ready for another of the kind. Everyone went home with the feeling that he or she could better serve therewith their Maker and thus to present a, truer account at last. P. S. -The choir feel grateful to Mr. Spackman who contributed so much to their enjoyment by supplying them with all the necessaries on such occas- ions; he certainly knows his business. (Too late for last week.) While Mr. G. G. Essery was driving e, traveller the other day,, the team, which had been left tied in front of the store at Corbett, ran away. They made a lively run and badly wrecked the rig. The horses escaped injury. - Most of the farmers are through hay- ing and some have their fall wheat into the barn. The recent rains, although delaying the hay harvest, have tended much to increase the spring crops and all vegetable growth.—The. topic of discussion in town is the news received here from England of the fortune which has been left to one of our young men, alhounting to $20,000. -Mr. G. Blunt, of London, spent Wednesday and Thursday of last week visiting here. -Mrs. J. O.

Natural enough the child got dr.'tbiing in the water and finally fell in the tub, head down. Mrs. Rau heard the little fellow mak- ing a noise but had no idea what had happened and on going out into .the other room to her greatsurprise found the youngster struggling in the tub and almost lifeless.
