It is very minute, and eaaily escapes notioe until the mischief is Ione. Generally the work begins in the interior of the shrub, and may be detected by a peculiar odor and by the felling leaf epikes. Professor Lochead says that spraying the bushes with kerosene emulsion or whaie oil emulsion has been found effective. 0 ners of spruce trees and hedgeii should look into the matter, and take steps to check the peat at once. Next week Will be right time to catch the second ,brood, when the shrubs should be sprayed as above.

HOLIDAY. -Tuesday next, August let, has been proclaimed by Mayor Gunn as civic holiday, and coneequently that day will be observed in town as a public holiday. The features of the day will be an excursion to Goderich, under the auspices of the 33rd battalion band. Special railway arrange. meats have been made so that the excursion- ists will have a good long day at the county town. The band will be present and , will render a musical programme in the lake park during the day. This will be a most pleaeant day's outing and as the rates are exceedingly cheap, in fact it will be the only really cheap excursion this year, it should be well patronized. And not only will our citi- zens be able to have a pleasant day's outing but they will encourage, in a most substan- tial way, our band, of which we should all he proud. Then let everybody prepare for Goderich on Tuesday next. A PLEASANT EVENING. -The garden party, on Monday evening last, on the lawn of Mr. D. D. Wilson, under the auspices of the Sunshine Mission Band, was in every re- spect a most nfeasant and successful affair. The evening Was 'delightful in point of weather, beingewarin and dry, and just such as to make Ot-docir amusements pleasaet. The little folks were out in shoales, and it, is needless to say bhey enjoyed themselves im- mensely, while the elders were also in evi- dence in goodly numbers. Refreshmente were in abundance and of the beet and judging from the manner in which the re- freshment booths were patronized by old and; young, the good things provided were duly appreciated. The band were in at-- tendance, and deliehted all with their beau- tiful musk, of which they were not in any way Oaring. Several membera of the Mis- sion 1and also gave suitable recitations in a mann r which showed their care ul,training. The nancial results were; also, very satire facto y. Miss Wilson and her ssitants are to be congratulated on the succ ss of their entertainment, and have placed oth old and young under an obligation to t em for the very p casant evening which th y provided.
