HYMENBAL..—On the 1at of Juno
pleasant affair occurred at Beirnee
hotel When George McKim, of Mo
Killop, took to himself, for better or
for worse, Mise Rebecca Jobnston,
eider of Mrs. Beirnes. The knot was
carefully tied by the Rev. Mr. Cluff,
of Bruseols, and the ceremony wit-
nessed by a large number of friends
and acquaintances. A splenclod
spread lied boon prepared by Mrs.
Beirnes and was thoroughly appreci-

THE BACEB.—It 19 a rather late
date to send particulars of the doings
of the 24th in Walton, but as it has
been omitted it might not be amiss
to state that the races and games
were a complete success. l3eirnes'
driving park, of which Walton may
be justly proud, was in fine condition.
The day was propitious and a goodly
crowd was assembled to enjoy them-
selves for the day. Everything pess-
ed of quietly and creditably, owing
in part, I suppose, to tho duo observ-
ance of the S. A. The trotting race
was won by T. Hall; Laing'o Clear
Grit stallion 2nd, and MoDougall's
mare 8rd. In the farmer's running
race John Dundas, of Iltaillop, oar.
iied off the saddle triumphantly. Mr.
Beirnes Is in a fair way of having
501310 fast stook himaelf. He has now
o year old off hie blood mare which
promises good speed and a Buokling
colt off the same, sired by "Kentucky
Star," for which ho has refused $100
already. These are the animals that
pay.
