Civic Holiday.—Tuesday last was
Civic holiday in Seaforth. The clerk"
of the weather was not as consider-
ate as usual. The morning broke
dark and gloomy and about seven on
„clock a quiet but drenching rain set
In which continued throughout the
forenoon. It was a grand ramn. for
the . country but paused sore disap-
pointment to many children and
young people generally. The piinci-
pal event was the Sabbatk schools
excursion to Godeiien. The rain pre-
vented many from taking this in who,
6therwise, would have gene. But de-
spite this drawback a good many
braved the elements and took the risk
of having hats and dresses spoiled.
The train left at the advertieed time
and about 400 went on it, but there
would have been twice that number
had the morning been fine. On arriv-
ing in Goderich the moisture was still
falling but in -about an • hour the
clouds cleared and the rain stopped
and -the afternoon wag quite pleas-
ant so that an enjoyable day was
spent after all. The train returned
about nine 'o'clock and those. who
went were well pleased with their
day's outing. The rain . lso inter-
fered considerably' with other pleas-
ure' seekers who inteneted going to
Bayfield, Stratford and other places
and the exit from the town wait -not
as large as it would have been under
more favorable circumstances. How-
ever, we have nos -doubt but all. in
their several ways enjoyed their holi-
day, only, perhaps, not quite so
much . as if the weathet had been
more propitious.
