EN'S PIC -NIC. The Fire-

was a very successful affair. It was
held on the Diliving Park grounds. In
the afternoonmost of the stores and oth-
er business places in town were closed,
thus affording the clerks; an:c salesmen
an opportunity of attending !the pic-nic.
The attendance throughout t e afternoon
was very large'. , At the ' app hated hour

engine house, and headed by the Brigade
Band,`marchecl to the greunds. The en-
gine was tastefully decoeated.,with ever-
green wreaths, bouquets, &el., and pre-
sented a very pretty appea ance. The
principal attraction of the af ernoon was
the base -ball match, betwee the Own
council and a pickednine fr m the fire
brigade. The game commenced about
3 o'clock, and; was continued vigoronsly

Munro and. the family, one of them a
boy about fourteen years of age, were
witnesses of the deed. They gave the
alarm, and McDonald was arrested by a
constable and medical aid was speedily
procured. Munro is a strong man, very
harmless, somewhat " innocent" and
meth addicted to drink. His strength
stands him in good stead, for although
his wounds are very serious, particularly
the one in his.head, he is in a fair way of
recovery. His assailant is short, stout,
and active, and about 30 years of age.
He is unable to read or write, and drinks
pretty heavily at times. In ,conversa-
tion with him he professed to recollect
nothing of the assault further than that

He seems to take matters very coolly,

THE BALT. FIELD. — Art interesting
game of base ball was played on the Driv-
ing Park on Monday, July 30th, between -
two nines composed ef the boarders of
the Commercial and Queen hotels. This
was the best and most evenly contested
" green" game played on the Seaforth
ball grounds this season, and was in
some instances, amusing it;Ll the extreme,
gymnastic exercises being freely indulged
in between the bases on , different occa-
sions, which were a source of consider-
able amusement to the audience., Play
was called at 3 o'clock. ;The Queen's
nine won the toss, and the Commercial
nine went to the bat. In the -first in-
nings the Queen's nine got the best of it,
then came the Commercial fine's turn,
they taking the lead tip to the eighth in-
nings. The Queen's nine then led up to
the ninth in nings,they beinf 6 rune ahead

A CHILD LOST IN THE WOODS. —On
Tuesday last in the forenoon a little girl
four years of age, daughter of Mr. Con-
nors, of Hibbert, strayed from home.
About noon she was missed, and a search
instituted. A large number turned out
in quest of her, and continued the search
all the afternoon, but no trace of her
could be found. At dark the excitement
became intense, and about fifty men tra-
versed the woods all night. On Wednes-
day at ten o'clock she was found in a
large beaver meadow, two miles from
home, walking around, apparently none
the worse of her night in the woods.
