PICNIC. -The picnic at Monnt Car- mellastWednesday was a decided success. A cloudless sky, a cooling breeze, and a beautiful grove made the elements of success. Over 2,000 per- sons must have been on the ground during the day. Father Trayer must be a gentleman. The bills and the whole programme were so admirably arranged and catching to the eye and ear of the average citizen that success was inevitable. Splendid music, large dancing platform, amused the younger part of the gathering. Men and maid- ens cooed, danced, and drank lemon-, ade. Their hearts were merry. No intoxicating drink was on the ground. The older heads centred their interest in the Cane Contest. It was a straight political contest. The Dominion Par- liament met and was dissolved, and went to the country. A House of Com- mons and party. Caucus booths were built for the occasion. Eighteen Tory', Catholics formed the Government Cab- inet, and eighteen Grit Catholics the Opposition Cabinet. Votes were solic- ited. Every half hour returns were posted on a blackboard. Excitement. ran high. Amongst the prominent Conservatives present, outside of the Cabinet members, were T. Coughlin, ex-M.P. B. and D. Coughlin, Dr. Roll - lea and others. " The prominent Oppo- sitionists present, outside the Cabinet, were: A. Bishop, M P.P., V. Ratz, W. H. Taylor and G. Johnston. The polls closed at 5.30 p.m., when it was found that the Conservatives had polled 8,465 yotes, meaning $346.50, and the . Re formers had polled 2,010 votes, mean- ing $201.00. The Tories thus carried the day by $145,00. The gold headed cane is to be suitably inscribed and sent to Sir Join Thompson. Dr. Roll- ins was called upon to respond for the Government party, and thanked. the electors No personleaponied for the! Opposition, The phaeton went to 1Vite Dr Collins, of Khiva, The picnic as a whole must have been a great finan- cial s ccess, Over $1,000 must' have been the net profit • the cane alone bringing $547.50. It was conceded that it was by far the most numerous- ly attended and successful picnic ever held by the Mount Carmel people, and that is saying a gond deal: THURSDAY Biddulph, The new post office on the 4th Con. of Blanshard presents an imposing ap pearance. Mr. Franks Washburn, the Mit master, has started a general the in connection which bids fair to be a success,. The name given to the new post office is St, Bury, not . Salisbury. Mr. Wm. Davis has just completed his new barn which will afford ample ac- commodation for crops and stock, -A splendid bank barn has just been com- pleted by Mr. John Ogden on the town line between Usborne and Biddulph.- Dominion :Day proved most enjoyable so far as weather was concerned. The annual picnic got up by the ladies of St. Patrick's church was very success- ful. Many friends from Lucan, Kirk - ton and elsewhere haying put in an appearance, which added largely to the interest and financial success of the occasion. A more delightful spat could not have been chosen for a day's re creation that of Mr. Richard Hodgins' grove on the 4th con. After a sub- stantial dinner, ub•stantialdinner, in which all the delica- cies of the season were bountifully served, both young and old proceeded to enjoy the various games, consisting of football, quoits, croquet, swings &c. as announced in the hand bill. Several races were indu ged in to the great amusement of young and old; after which a tug of war was contested which tried the muscles of the competitors. A gatne of football was one chief source of attraction, in which the Biddulph boys and a trained team from near Granton were matched, resulting in a victory for the latter. An old man's footrace was won by Mr. Thos Dickens. The tent in charge of Mr. Phineas Hun- ten and Mr. Frank Davis Jr. was well patronized throughout the day. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the ladies of the congregation who ali. worked with a 'ivtll. The family of Mr R. Hodgins, on whose pounds the pic- nic held, deserves the special thanks of St. Patrick's church for their un- wearied efforts in making • the affair sa succcessful. Between $75 and $80 were realized as the proceeds of the occasion. Greenway. Mr. Jas. McWilson brought home a new threshing machine last Saturday. Rev. G. J.

Mrs. Kerr passed 'away last Thursday morning, and was buried on Friday.

There was au': abundant supply of provisions and strawberries and also a tent where lemonade,' ice cream and confectionaries were cold. The several committees spared neither pains nor expense to make it pleasant for all who came, the spo. ting com- mittee took it upon themselyes, irate - pendent of the festival proceeds, to procure about ten dollars worth of prizes, and got up all kinds of <'foot races to amuse the 'younger people, and, in facts some of the older ones took part in thea. There was also a tug- of-war between the married men and the boys, which resulted in a victory for the boys. The majority of the young ladies amused themselves swinging and playing croquet, while the older people listened to the eloquent addresses of several ministers who were present, The Crediton brass band played several grand selections and received twenty dollars,'and a free tea for their services. The proceeds amounted to abouti two hundred doll- ars and go towar a paying rent and other parsonage expenses.

The day was,fine and a large number turned out ,to celebrate the 26th an- niversary of young -Canada's birthday. The prograrilt consisted of speeches by Revd's Copeland, Sawyer and Bartlett andimusie by Mrs. Copeland, Messrs T. Andrew and M Elford.

People were.here from almost every corner of the ' 'county,: The largest part of the crowd was probably brought by the Patrons • of Industry and alto- gether there was fully 8000 people pidnleing aiid.rusticating between the bridge and la ri "shore. The *Patrons held a big pow -wow on the Parkhill side of the Park, and various speakers from a distance addressed the large gathering; and from the loud applauses it was quite evident that the speeches were satisfactory to the many hearers The Exeter Band were present, the guest of John Spackman,the accomoda- ting park manager and proprietor. The band boys were not numerours but they did themselves credit just the same. Boating, fishing and bathing were the principal pastimes of the day One matter that marred the reputation. of the Bend on the lst was, that wheels of fortune and other gambling fakes were allowed in full swing, and right in the presence of so many young folks These fakes were at the Bend, not the Park. Mr. Spackman would not allow them on his premises. Clinton. Chas. Reynolds after speud' few days at London, returned be Mon- day. -Mr. H.

The horse in the meantime, which; was quite restless started to run for the barn and in its mad career dashed into the fence, throwing the young lady from the buggy. She alighted on her head and lived but a short time after. Deceased was 39 years of age, highly respected and her sad death will be deeply regret- ted egretted by all. M DROWNING Ausr'.nnNT.--An exceed- ingly sad accident occured on Satur- day July 1st. When Charlie, son of Mr, Horner Andrews met with his fate by drowning. Mr.`Andrews and family and a, number of other friends and rel- atives drove out to the Maitland river to spend the day little thinking their pleasure was to be turned from that to grief. It appears Charlie and his little cousin resorted to a secluded place in the river to have a bathe. His cousin however did not Venture in but Charlie disrobed and was soon to the water's edge He no sooner entered than he was carried into a largo hole and not being able to swim sank be- neath to rise no more alive. After some little time the body Wali taken out but life was extinct, The funeral took plan on Monday and was largely at - take part in the feast and sports of the tended.

The hardy 'scribe' is quite a 'boy' him- self, but he has evidently got some 'caw' on the brain. His diminutive, or rather prodigeous imperceptible quali- fications, allowed him to make the er- roneous contribution to that great and reliable (?) blanket sheet, -the Times. You are of course aware, that the An- voCATn's con, has not yet reached that great degree cf paternal ambition; a Pa, -and has neither a son or daugh- ter, not even a 'frau', so your totem's hardy reporter bad better get the'caw' out of his own cranium and try once more and until he makes clear as to who the young gentleman referred to, is, it will be generally underst.od that young gentleman (?) who 'cawed', is the hardy scribe himself." c Hay School Report.
