be of wearable material, but
so slovenly in makeup that

NOTES -Mr. Peter Perdue, who some

A GOOD OLD AGE.-MrS Wallis,who
resides with her son James, on the lake
shore•road, has reached the good old
age of 92 years, and is yet hale and
hearty, although she has not been able
to walk for nine years, owing to a frac-
ture of the hip that never recovered;
she is truly a pioneer settler, and has
the honor of being the first woman
who ever went into Bayfield with pro-
duce for sale. The Bible is yet, as it
has been for many years, her great
solace and source of comfort, and she
is still able to peruse its pages, and for
herself "drink living waters."
BARN RAISING. -The frame of Mr
Wm. Robinson's new bank barn (just
outside •-;f town) was raised on Satur-

large number of men bere busy getting
the timbers, etc., in position, and then
sides were chosen by Messrs R. Baker
and R. Jenkins, that of Mr Baker be-
ing the winners. Some slight acci-
dents happened, Mr W. Robinson, jr.,
being pinned to the ground by a tim-
ber that caught him on the ankle, for-
tunately without breaking it; some one
got a finger smashed, while another got
a dislocation of the shoulder. After
the work was over, all the workmen,
numbering about ninety, sat down to
a generous spread, to which all did
ample justice. The barn will be a ser-
viceable and complete one, especially
for stock feeding, when finished.

Im'a TAM -A prominent citizen of
Clinton said the other day, "1 don't see
vvhat takes people to Goderich in pic-
nic parties, to be roasted in a treeless
park, when they might loll under the
shady bowers of Hayfield's beautiful
groves." We suppose it is the want of
the railroad, but, like the painting of
the town hall, we are "hoping" for it.
MORE THAN PLEASED. -The camp-
ers from Stratford and Seaforth left
on Saturday morning, on account of
urgent business which for some of the
company called for their immediate
attention. It was with many expres-
sions of sorrow that the visit was cut
short so unexpectedly, but one and all
were full of praise for the beautiful
rows, the moonlight sails, and the lov-
ing strolls which the peculiar facilities
at Hayfield afforded them.
CHURCH. -Rev Mr Geddes, of White-
church, preached in St. Andrew's last
Sabbath. Mr Caron, who has moved
here from England, in order to preach

Trinity pulpit last Sabbath. Rev F. G.
Newton preached to VarnaOrangemen
on Sabbath evening last. Rev John
Gilpin preached his first sermon on
Sabbath morning, to a large congrega-
tion, in the Methodist church; Rev Mr
Oliphant occupied the pulpit in the
evening.
A Gm:emus DAY. -The celebration
here on the 12th was an immense affair.
Early in the morning with the red ris-
ing of the sun the village was alive,
knowing well that the appearance of
Old Sol meant an enormous crowd.
Arches decked the streets, while many
private citizens entered into the spirit
of the thing, and trimmed their resi-
dences with flags and streamers. -
About fifteen lodges came, followed by
thousands of their friends. The day
was spent' by everyone in a most en-
joyable mapner. The sailing and row-
ing on the lake were especially appre-
ciated. Never before were so many
refreshment booths run in Hayfield,
and the sultry weather favored them
particularly. A noticeable feature, as
a visitor remarked, was that in such a
large crowd, only very few were seen
the worse of liquor. The -choice of
Hayfield for the 12th proved itself high-
ly satisfactory.
NOTES. -A large church picnic from
Hensall occupied the grove on Thurs-
day last. The name of Murdock Ross'
pleasure boat is the Dauntless, not, as
we said last week, the Dufferm. Mrs
Hodgins, of Seaforth, was in town last

turned, after it short visit at Rev F. G.
Newton's. Mr Andrew Fowlie was

is visiting her sister, Mrs Thos. King,
at present. About 5.30 on Sabbath
morning the young horse of Mr Thos.
Geoffrey's ran sway, spilling the occu-
pants, Mrs Geoffrey and Mrs Kean,
into the ditch; they escaped with little
injury. Mr Sheppard, of Goderich,
was the guest of Mr W. Jowett last
week. Some items from Hayfield ap-
peared in the Toronto Globe one day
last week. Several new visitors have
•_arrived at the Cominercial hotel. -
