The event of the season in that district was the - "grand picnic, organized by Rev. loather • Fogarty,, in the interest of the new • Catho he church being erected here, Better picnic weather could not have been desired, and being. a public holi- day crowds of people took advantage of the occasion. The picnic was held in a grove immediately in the rear of the church property. The Daly or ches. tra, from ,Seafortb, were on hand and the younger members of the company enjoyed themselves in the "merry dance." An entertainment of a more intellectual nature was provided for the older guests. Patriotic addresses, suit- able for the day and occasion, were de- livered by Mires A. McLaren, .M. R, for North P h; A. Hislop, M. P. V., for East Huron.; B. O'Connell, McKil- lop and Z.1.1McMi1lian, M. P., for South Huron, who: was unable to be present on account of his Parlimentary duties at Ottawa. The event, however, which, perhaps, created- more interestthan • any other of the day, was the contest between four young ladies for a gold watch, presented by Rey. Rather Fog- arty. The lady competitors were; - Miss Tessie Carrol, of Dublin; Miss N. Holland, of Beachwood; Miss Mary Carling, Staffa, and Mies Annie Geary, Hibbert. Each vote cost lOcents, and for each vote polled, the voter is entit- to own a brick in the new church, and, of course there was no limit to the number of votes any person might re. cord. On the count being made the vote was found to stand as follows: - Miss Carroll, 3,450; Miss Rolland, 3,350; Miss Carlin, 1,750; Miss Geary, 940, makingin all 9,490 votes, ancl netting the smug sum of $949. Several liberal subsciptions in aid of the new church edifice were also obtnined during the day from friends who were present. 'The day was a success financially as ; Kingston, is • now employed ' by the Government locating the shallow places in the harbor, so that the dynes mite party can carry on their work successfully.

He conducted hie work with zeal and intelligence, everything being done ny careful systematic methods; and he was over on the lookout for in. formation regarding the latest im- provements in stock and general farming, visiting regularly for years the leading•faira, and reading the best agricultural papers. fle was for sevs eral years a director of the G.

We are sorry for the annoyance which our friend has been wit to, and gladly set it re -ht, This mistake is about as annoying as the one which occurred in a pronainent society paper, where the editor, giving an account of a fashion- able wedding, intended to describe the bride's "trousaeau", and nearly fainted when he read it in print "the bride's trousers." -ED.
