that beautiful resort on the shore of
Lake Huron. The young people, after
enj rying the dear' to the fullest extent,
reached the village early in the even-
ing, and as they approached the bridge
over the Maitland, the villagers were
at a loss to account for the raournful
sounds that were gently wafted over
the water on the evening breeze, .fot
the whole patty were engaged in sing -
Ing "All the world was gad and dreary,
everywhere we roamed." However, ft
is to be hoped that the sounds were
misleading and' not the indies.tion of

Golden Rod Picnic
---- -
Among the most successful and most
enjoyable private picnics of the season
was one that took place at Goderich
Jest week, in honor of the birthday an-
niversary of Mr Straiton, tormerly etas
tion agent at Clinton, and now station
agent at Gederich. Mr and Mrs Strat-
ton hold a warm place still in the mein-
ory of many of their Clinton friends,
hence the desire of the latter to revive -
and prolong friendly associations. The
party from Clinton compaised Mr and
Mrs Plumsteel, Mr and Mrs O'Neill,Mrs
Andrews, Mr and Mrs Houston, Rev
Dr and Mrs Gifford, Mr and Mrs Me-'
brarva, Mrs Wigle, Misses Plumsteel
and Hill, and Masters Chant and R
Plumsteel. .After a most pleasant drive
to Goderich the party was joined by -
others from lioderich and Bayfield.
They found Mrs Straiton prepared for
their reception. the capacious lawn
having been divided into parlor and
dining room, and gaily decked with
flowers, among which the golden rod
had a conspicuous place. It would be
hard to find a heartier or hungrier p.ar-
ty than that which sat down to enjoy
dinner at the groaning table. We fear
the groaning was transferred to some
of the party, who had almost to be
choked off. A pleasant feature of the
dinner was the arrival of the photo-
grapher to catch the features of the
partywhen the smiles were brightest,
and enjoyment was at its height, The
corn and cucumbers were caught and
transfixed on their way to hungry
mouths. The afternoon was very sig-
reeably spent in s trolli na about the lake
and in the park, gathering new appe-
tites for d, hearty tea on the lawn. As
the gloaming came on the party dis-
persed with hearty wishes that Mr and
Mrs Straiton may be long spared to
enjoy their pleasant home and receive
their friends in their hospitable man-
ner, that tbeir closing days might be
; golden ones typified by the flower that
lent beauty to the occasion, and also
that when their last train is despatched
it may be for a happy trip on it gentle
