Now, notwithstanding much outdoor life, they are little if any stronger than they were. The tan on their faces is darker and makes them look healthier but it is only a mask. They are still nervous, easily tired, upset by trifles and they do hot eat nor sleep well. What they need is what tones the nerves, perfects digestion, creates ap- petite, and makes sleep refreshing, and that is Hood's Sarsaparilla. Pupils and teachers generally will find, the chief purpose of the vacation best subserved by this great medicine which, as we know, " builds up the whole system." No Paper Next Week. Following our usual custom and also that of country week- lies generally, the..Anv'ooe.Tn staff will next week take their .. annual holidays, consequently. there will be no paper issued_ next week.

The first officer under the/valiant Ma- jor was an old t eterztn, nce other than the redoubtable Captain Wright, who seated: upon a pony, two atone lighter than himself, was dressed .as. a female of the semi -civilized Fiji Island varie- ty of humanity, and looked the pic- ture of womanly fearlessness and in- trepidity. Sergeant Gray (London) was commander-on-foot'of the com- pany. The privates were a noble'look- ing band dressed in all manner of cos- tumes and composed of picked men from the district lying between Mani- toulin Island and the river Don. Their firearms were of the variety called multitudinous and -heterogeneous. In this style the regiment marched in and about the park and through the village of Grand Bend, here and there stopping to give an exhibition of the proficiency of their drill, which by the way, was highly complimented by the spectators. The only unfortunate fea- ture of the parade was the event by which the Major was placed 'mule' -de- s combat, mule-de- `combat, although he was not seriously hurt.
