S. o. 8 on Thursday of last week and expressed himself as very much pleased with the exoellent order and prompt answers of the pupils. One of the gentlemen of the 1601 son. evidently does not believe in making a abort visit when be goes to see his "lady friend." Of oourse a great deal of busi- ness may n000mpliehed by staying two or three days at a time and Albert evidently thinks so too. The 4.year-old sou of William Taylor, l0tli con., lifted up a teal) door in the barn floor last Friday and there being no hidgea ou the door it fell through to the floor of the stable underneath. The lit- tle fellow lost his balance and wont head- long after it alighting on his head. The wonder was that he was not killed bet he esonped with a few bad bruises.' BEAme mann REoone.—Oliver Harris and Hugh Ramsay oompeted in the °roes out sawing oonteet at Exeter on the 241h clay of May. They took lsb prize handily making too outs off a 21 freta beeoh log in the almost incredible time of 69'j sec- onds. The men who took 2nd money wore 12 saoonds slower. We are doubtful if Messrs. Harris and Ramsay can be beaten. A gentleman who does not live one hundred miles from the Star lviille thought it would bo a kindly ant to treat some of his moat intimate friends to taffy. A000rdiugly the sugar was per - chased and the guests invited but be- hold, when the appointed night came the gentleman and his sugar failed to an. pear. It seems that somebody who ,..wasn't in it" had slyly removed the sugar from his overcoat pookstand when the kindly hearted gentleman made this alarming discovery he boat a hasty re- treat- We would edviso ]litn to be more careful in future. Iaxennsnxo.—Many social events of more or less interest to everybody have transpired lately. The Union of the 011 and 1311 cons. is now a fact. and it is whispered among the leaves that a union of the 10th eon. and Craubroolt may be au event of tho near future. These are so closely connected with the very latest dospatohes received by us that it is neces- sary to mention them. That the 14th line is noted for being away ahead of the other linos in many particulars is not to be disputed. Contrivances have been used for keeping refractory lovers in their proper places, together with other things that has mnde this line famous the world over, and it 18 needless to say that this distinction was fully maintained on the 24th May. It being the birthday of Iter Majesty the Queen, and the .foot that a marriage was being soletnnized in the neighborhood, there was a big stir alt along the line. Early in the afternoon the wedding party received a tremendous ovation feotel the ogowdo that lined the roadway. The "bnllengerius" could be heard for miles array. 1 n the evening there was m grant gathering at one par• Ligular point, Tlris gathering wire Dorn• posed of two parties, which, for uneven• fence, we will term ineiders and outsidore. Of the ontoidere the cl01patoheo say the most, It is said they were a little too fresh, but spurred on by memories of the post, they formed a vary imposing body. The mould board ringers and artillery band with dhow horn a000mpanimento wanlcl soothe 11 whole tribe of savages, Tho performers looked grand with their old roglmentalo on. The ciroular eaw band from the North and the bell ringers from the South were in attendance and gave some very loud selections. All the baude could chord well together and ren- dered music for hours that fairly made the earth tremble, There was more hooting and "hollengering." Everybody ie talking of past events and are agreed that about ten utiles of this line ehould be taken to the World's Fair. MATnoaroineo,—A number of friende as- sembled at the residence of Mre, T. Learmont, 146U con., to witness the mar. riago of her grand•daughtor. Miss Annie Hall, and Louis Hollinger, of the 9th non. of Grey. The ceremony wee performed at 4 p. in, by Rev. D, B. Monne, of Oran. brook, in his neral able and -efficient manner. The bride looked very beoom• ing in a drab eaehmere with Dream trim- mings, orange bloseome, oto., and was attended by Mies Jennie McNair, of Oranbrook, while the groom was support- er by his brother, John Hollinger. The bride was presented with many handsome and useful presents. A sumptuous re- past was served in the best style of the hostess. The evening was pleasantly spent, after which the company separated for their roepeutive homes, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Hollinger all the joys of wedded blies. 111 (Yl'Y-1 V. Jas.
