Tile NEW NORTH WEST.—The claims of the far north western portion of our Dominion are in process of being brought before the people of Ontario by our former fellow-citizen'Mr. Wm. Miller, now a resident of Prince Albert, Sas- katchewan Territory, where he has been living for about twenty years. Mr. Miller is at present on a visit to On- tario, and his principal mission is to awaken an interest in, and if possible direct emigration to the part of the Dominion which he has just left. The Regina and Lorig Lake railway is being pushedinto Prince Albert, and trains will be running regularly to that point in a month or so. Mr. Miller reports all crops in that section as exceedingly promising, and, of course, the garden of the Northwest centres in the near neighborhood of the pleasant town situ- ated at the forks of the Saskatchewan. It is Mr. Miller's intention to lecture in various parts of the Province and to endeavor, if possible, to have excursions run this summer and fell to the Prince Albert country. We are pleased to see our old fellow citizen looking so well and so favourably impressed with the condition and prospects of his North- west home. NOTES. —Mr. Thos.

The features of the pro- gramme were all good, the only dis- appointment being in connection with the senior base beet game, the Teeswater club not patting in an appearance after promising to do so the previous day.

Pie-Nrc.—The annual Dominion Day pic-nic of the residents on the 5th, 6th and 7th concessions, east of Winthrop, was held on Tuesday afternoon on the farm of Mr. James Hogg. It had been arranged to have the meeting in the grove, but the heavy rains early in the afternoon made this impracticable, and Mr. Hogg kindly invited the company to oceupy his house, barn, lawn and an - adjoining field. There were about sixty present, and all being old schoolmates, neighbors and the best of friends, a most sociable and happy afternoon was spent. Games of various kinds including a lively game of foot -ball, wire engaged in by those sportively inclined ; some en- joyed social conversation; others dealt out jokes and funnyisma that were heart- ily appreciated, judging by the peals of laughter issuing from the several groups scattered about. • When teatime came around everybody was happy and hun- gry. After spending a very (un) rea- sonable time at table discussing sub- stantials and fluffs'and sweets and drinks, everybody felt merry and the world seemed a very happy place. As twilight approached the company gath- ered to the house, and after appointing a chairman to preside, a programme was produced and the friends were en- tertained with readings, recitations, vocal and instrumental ' music, etc., until the approach of the midnight hour warned the company that,although play is pleasant work is practical and imperative. Thus have these tried and true friends passed another jubilee milestone, and although fully enjoying all the pleasures the occasion afforded they yet remembered some s.bsent friends who have removed to new homes and assumed new ties and associations; but the tenderest thoughts and recollec- tions were associated with some who were wont to be the merriest of the err among them, lent who will conte Walton. A DESERVED TRIBUTE. — Friends of the Walton appointment met the other evening at the- Metho- dist parsonage in this village to pay a parting tribute of respect to their esteemed pastor and his wife previous to their departure to their new field of labor. The young people of the appoint- ment also presented Mrs. Torrance with a. very handsome set of stone china dishes, accompanied by a most compli- mentary and affectionately worded ad- dress, in which deep regret was express- ed at the prospect of the departure of herself and Mr. Torrance, and mention was made of her earnest and faithful services in the Sabbath School and as a co-worker generally with her husband in the Master's vineyard. Mr. Torrance made a suitable and feeling reply on be- half of his wife, which made many who were present apply their handkerchiefs to their eyes. This part of the proceed- ings over, the tables were spread and soon fairly groaned under the weight of good things provided by the ladies. They were soon, however, materially lightened, and all present having done ample justice to the spread a very pleai- ant hour was spent in singing and other amusements. All were sorry when the time for saying good-bye arrived, as • Mr. Torrance and his excellent wife had gained a _very warm place in the affections of the people of Walton circuit. . • • Deaths.

A good crowd was in attendance and all seemed to - enjoy themselves well in a quiet way. The day, although beautiful, was rather warm to admit of as much lively, romp- ing, rollicking mirth as we have seen on such occasion, with temperature more favorable. The principal amuse- ments were boating and swinging, there being two large sail and a great number of row boats, all of which were , kept bitty by the visitors nautically inclined while those preferring terra-firma,mono- polized the swings, strolled about, or lounged in the cool shade of the beauti- ful grove. Not the least interesting and attractive part of the grounds, par- ticularly about 12 o'clock, was a cool spot near the centre of the grove where Mr. Porter had kindly for the accommo- dation of the visitors, erected a, commo- dious table and which was literally hid by the masses of good things which the ladies of the section and adjoining vir einity, know so well how to prepare and which they had so kindly and bountifully provided for the occasion; awe when nature warned the youngsters—who up- on arriving in the grove had at, once be- taken themselves to the lake—that it was 12 o'clock a general rush was made for the above naentioned attractive spot and it was a real pic-nic in itself to wit- ness 'the eager smile of pleasure on every little face on sitting down to the table and the one of contentment and satisfaction on rising from it. After the wants of the little ones had been at- tended to the older portion of the visi- tors went through much the same per- formance as the younger members had done and areal pleasant sociable hour was spent by them around the "centre of attraction." After losing their appetites they again betook themselves to the different amusements of the day and when on again assembling al the table about 7 o'clock preparatory to 'starting for their several places of abode it was easily noticeable that the majori- ty of the lost appetites had -clueing the afternoon been again found. The thanks of the section are due to Mr. Porter for his kindness and hospitality, sparing no pains or refusing nothing that might add to the convenience and comfortef the visitors and in this way materially con- tributing to -the success of the pie nic. no more,having been called to eternal . addresses were delivered by Rev s. rest in the beautiful city above.
