The actors Were all well up in their parts,
the piecetemoved smoothly and. there were
no long waits or "superfluous lags" to
try the 'patience of , the audience. The
excellent orchestral music supplied by
Collinh 'and Mrs; Grieves was cer-
tainly not the least eujoyable part of
the performance. The audience on the
occasion was, perhaps, the largest that
has ever assembled in the Town Hall,
yet the excellent arrangements of the
Club prevented any undue crowding or

of people assembled in town repaired to

To witness the sports and. races. The
mass of people here assembled, of all
ages, sexes, and sizes, was, perhaps, the
largest ever seen on the Driving Park,

ball passed so 'close to his head that it
knocked his bat off and stunned him so
that he fell down. Had the ball passed
a little closer, it certainly must have
killed him.
RAILWAY PROGRESS .—On Wednesday
afternoon the rails were laid over the
railroad bridge at Ethel, and. the engine
passed over. n about ten days the rails

Tuckersmith.
SCHOOL EXAMINATI05.—The examina-
tion of .school section- No. 11, Tucker -
smith, took place in the school house of
that section on Friday, 16th inst. The
answering of the pupils to the questions
which were asked by those who ex-
amined them, was remarkably good, re-
flecting a greatideal of credit upon their
teacher, Mr. Jamiespn. An excellent
littich was handed round to the visitors,
of whom there was a goodly number
present, by the scholars. Some excellent
specimens of writing were shown hf the
.pupils. After a few short addresses
freer. some of the visitors present, a very
pleasant examination closed.—Visrron.
A BRIDGE FALLS.—On -Tuesday, 20th
inst., the bridge over the south branch
of the BayfieldRiver, at Latta's, on the
boundary between 'Tuckersmith and
• Hibbert, fell. At the time of the acci-
dent,. a wagon was passing over, the
bridge, containing three persons, Mr.
Robert Dalrymple, of .Tuckerinnith. and
Mr. Robert Fulton, of Ushorne, and his
daughter. The wagon and horses were
the property of Mr. Dalrymple, who'hvas
going to Seaforth with a load of wheat,
about 40 bushels, for Mr. Fulton. In
the fall Mr. Fulton and Mr. Dalrymple
escaped uninjured, but Miss Fulton was
in some way caught and wedged in by
the bags of wheat and the debris of the
bridge, and sustained some severe but
not serious injuries. We understand
that one of the horses was also badly
hurt. The grain was soaked with wa-
ter, and of course, badly damaged. The
other bridge over the same stream, on
this boundary, about half a nnle north,
is in a very dangerous condition, and.
should be repaired without delay.
Pic -Nie. —The farmers of the West
End of Tuckersmith' held a pic-nic on
Second •Conce sion, -opposite Mr. Broad -
Saturday, 241 May, in the greve on the
foot's:. The , weather was favorable for
pic-nicking purposes, and. a very large
number turned out to enjoy the pleasures
of • the occasion. Swinging, athletic
sports and games of different kinds were
indulged in with apparent heartiness by
the more youthful portion of those pres-
ent while the elders looked on or en-
joyed themselves in social conversation.
Speeches appropriate to the occasion,
were madeby Rev. Mr. Crane, Mr. Ver-
'coe and others, while an excellent choir
rendered a variety of selections in a most
felicitous manner. Refreshments were,
of course, provided, and nothing was
lacking to contribute th the success of
the day's proceedings.

SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY. —The
people of Bethesda resolved to cele-
brate our Gracious Soverefgn's 55th
birthday, by holding their annual. Sun-
day School anniversary, wisely believing
they could make more amusement for 1
the young folks at home than they could
gain elsewhere, without the correspond.-
itig relaxing ,of parental restraint. The
result justified; them, as a crowd, we
should say, close upon 400 was present.
Yirst were the children's recitations,
which were very good. The superin-
tendent of the circuit Rev. Mr. Kenner,
then questioned them on the work of the
year, which they answered admirably,
reflecting much credit upon their teach-
ers. After this follow;hil tea without in-
termission for about three hours. On its
conclusion the people again assembled to
hear th a report of the year's proceedings,
which had the gratifying facts of a bal-
ance on hand, and a large increase of
scholars. The Chairman, Mr. Blatch-
ford, then called upon Rev. Mr. Veal,
and he gave a serious address on the im-
portance of Sunday School labor, and
urged his hearers not to be disappointed
on account of the ard.uosness of the work 1
but to go on persevering and success
must come. Rev. Mr. Gray was then
called upon, a gentleman well known in
these parts, but at present residing in
the United States, whoa.lelivere-d a most
interesting and original lecture on "How
tc Live.' By hie terse humor lie
brought the smile to the faces of his
auditors, and when in picturing phases
of human nature you fancied you heard
"that's mo" all round, and he always
ended his description by saying "If you
To Country Merchants
are such, may you become better." An
excellent choir enlivened the proceedings,
aided by Miss Blatch feed, who presided
at the organ. The benediction was pro-
nounced, and people separated for home,
weil pleased with the day's enjoyment.
