'':,' (CONCERNING PAPERS.—The Brussels
• i . Post of last week entered upon its
`: ,20th volume, and announces that its
ilYtisiness is in a better shape than ever.
i'.=.-cl/iiis is as it should be, for the Post is a

;eclited with fairness, honesty and abil-
/,. lily. As an advocate of local interests
. it ,merits even better support than the
Oiberal patronage it gets. We notice
'also, that the Acton Free Press has
&seed its 18th volume; the Free Press
has the honor to be known as "The

tenor, for the name is a synonym
known in all newspaper offices for the

SUMMERING OUT
Sometimes one goes singly; sometimes
two by two at this time of the year,
after having seen the minister; again
whole parties go, all with the same
object in view.
PLEASURE
And a laudable one it is. We take as much
innocent pleasure and enjoyment out of life as
possible, and in spite of the maxim, man was
made to mourn, we think it possible for him to
laugh. The way to feel like laughing is to re-
move anything that tends to gloominesS, for in-
stance the wearing of uncomfortable clothes.
