Kusa CALDER, Teacher, Sunshine Sabbath school pie-nio came off on Dominion day, as arranged, and was a grand success, as was anticipated, notwithstanding the disappointment of some of our ministerial friends. The small children who took part in the sing- ing did their work grandly and deserve oredit, it being the first time that they ever took part in anything of the kind, We think G, Hood and wife will feel sat- isfied that their labors in praoticing the little ones was not in vain. The young men enjoyed a good game of ball, while a good many othere enjoyed themselves looking on, But, Oh 1 how G. Plant's swing took the attention of both young and old. The older ones were a little shy aitd hung back for, a ,while at first but after they got started they seemed as though they did not want to stop. A very good test as to how the people enjoyed the pio.nio was when they were asked for e collection to defray the expensesof the swing, they gave as (the Sabbath school committee( the handeomo sum of $6.00: They always give a cheerf0l sponge to anything good. Chas, Harris and family gave some scleotione of music whioh wore well rendered, ae did also Mies A. Clark and Miss Thynne. After thoiiio-iiia and the crowd had dispersed excepting two or three, who stayed to help take down the swing and load it up, the man who was going to bake it to Brus- sels got afraid of the thunder shower that was coming from the west, and well he might, and he backed out, so the party who was waiting on him began to get anxious in regard to their shelter and en- gaged John Wheeler to take the swing. Mr. Wheeler went for his team and got back. The main post was got into the wagon when the rain began to spill down at an awful rate and the men took shel- ter under trees and umbrellas for a few minutes. They had not long to stay, however, for the first peal of thunder was most terrific, it almost stunned all hands, you would think the whole bush was coming down. Mr. Wheeler was standing a yard or so from his team ab the time, the horses got frightened and away they went over loge end stumps and before they got to the road, whioh was about 10 or 15 rods, they only had the front wheels of the wagon with them, which they car- ried about 50 rods up the road and loft them with the tongue about 5 feet into a partly decayed log. They ran about 2 miles with the whifdetrees, followed by Mr. Wheeler, and it raining like fun. Strange to say very little was broken be- long to the wagon or rack and the horses had not a scratch. Walton: Daus Sxn.—I seo that you have been very mindful to the readers of Ties Posa in faithfully transoriburg the reporte of the business transacted by the Presbyter- ian Assembly, while in session in Winni- peg. Such reports are very interesting, not only to Presbyterians, but to all true Christiane who have the welfare of Zion at heart. There is very little jeal- ousy now between the various denomina- tions, Why should there be any ? There is room for all and plenty of work. Just as each farmer cultivates his own farm, so let each denomination cultivate their own field. The only rivalry being who can do the most work for the glory of God and the good of man. I have no sympathy with the great ory for the un- ion of all the churches. That time is not yet come. It is a grand idea --one great united church—at the same time it might not bo so successful ink prosecuting the great and important work of evangelizing the world as the various branches are each Working along their own line and holding doors open on every' side so that those who do not wish to enter are left without excuse. But we are a united church. We are united in our efforts and aims and rejoioe in the prosperity of each other, because cue is our Blaster, even Christ, and all we are brethren. Having been appointed a delegate to the General Assembly, which met in Winnipeg,. I jotted down a few notes by the way. Having travelled some distance into the country west of Winnipeg I am prepared to contribute a little information accord- ing t0 my judgment with respoot to that new country in which so many aro inter- ested. Ae we generally look at things from different ebandpointe wo may differ widely in our opinions about places, so that parties, desiring information would need to put the different opinions togeth- er and judge for theineelves. Just as politioians say "Bead both sides to get the truth." We are apt to run to ex- tremes with respect to Manitoba and the Northwest. Some parties desoribe it as a perfect paradise, because it may bethey havo a purpose to serve by so doing, oth- ers who have not succeeded according to their expectations tell us that it is only fit for Indians to live in Having bought n ticket from our obliging friend, Thos. Fletcher, of Brussels, agent for the 0. P. B„ we took the . train at Wroxeter on Monday the 6th of June, for Toronto, arriving there about dark. Got our re- turn tickets for the west and left Toronto at 9 o'clock the same night on the North- ern. The oars were crowded, there being a great many delegates onboard. We were disappointed in not having daylight while passing through the country north of Toronto, especially in missing the view of the fine scenery round lake Sim - me. Before daylight returned we were far into Muskoka, and I must say if there is no better farming land than what we saw along the track I pity the poor set. tiers. They have a hard row to hoe. No doubt there are some good patches of land in some parts of the district but I understand it is all broken and irregular. The isolated settlements aro a great draw- back to the educational interests but there are a class of industrious people with little capital who are glad to get a piece of land of their own, a place they can call home. Often an industrious man will make more out of a few acres than others of a more speculative char- acter will do out of hundreds. Let ue not discourage the pioneers of the forest, all honor to those who have borne their part in trains—forming the wilds of this country into green pastures and waving fields of golden grain. I would advise all those seeking land to endeavor to get good land, even if the aeras should be few in number. At 8:30 we arrived at North Bay, the station where passengers are transferred to the C.P.R. main line for the West. It is 228 miles from Toronto. Walton, July 1st, '87. J1uEs SermLIE. Wingh[tnx. Time. Agnew intends shortly to start a haok or 'bus line in connection with his livery stable. The Wingham Caledonian Society will bold their annual gamessome time in September this year. Robt. Orr will .occupy one of the stores in the newBeaver block, when that build- ing is ready for occupancy, whioh will be about the 1st of September. Duncan Stewart sold his Ridgewood colt to a gentleman in Ingersoll for the handsome sum of 8106. T. A. Mills bas also bean offered $250 for his Ridgewood Dolt but has refused. The Stratford Beacon says:—Dr. Mao. donald, M.P. for East Huron, was in Stratford oh a visit to hie brothers, J. P. and James Maodonald. Ho was on his way home from Ottawa, Dr. Macdon- ald has already made for himself a good position in Parliament, as a ready and able debater and by his familiarity with parliamentary procedure and the quer• tions that daily come up. East Huron has a representative Of whioh it may be proud, A. J. Conover, of Bluevale, has taken possession of the Exchange hotel here, and J. Patterson, the late proprietor, has gone to Bluevale, where be intends living in retirement. Rev. R. MoCoeh and family left on Wednesday of last- week for their new home in California. M. Mo0osh has reoeived an appointment in Pamona, Southern California, and will enter upon his duties as rooter immediately. It's his intention to return in the course of a couple of years, but whether he will re- main when he does come is an uncertain. ty. Some 25 members of St. Paul's Church assembled at the residenoe of Henry Davie on Monday evening, of last week, and presented the Rev. Robert .1rlcCgsh with a beautiful gold watch, suitably en- graved, together with a kindly -worded addrea expressing their' sorrow at his leaving'Wingham, and trusting that the climate of the Pacific coast will soon re- store Mrs. McCosh to health. Ild(onf-twu. The crops are doing well. A good many farmers are at their hay. Attwood was the centre of attraction on Domiuion day and a groat many from this looality attended the celebration. If the License Inspector of East Hur- on would make an occasional visit to this neighborhood there would be a 850 fine or else a lot of perjury. Rev. W. .1. Brandon, writing from New Hamburg, his new oirouit, says : — We were met at the station by the oirouit etoward and escorted to the parsonage, whore a number of ladies with well-filled baskets, were waiting to greet us. The table was soon spread and we all sat down to a very inviting repeat and by the kindness and sociability of thefriends we were soon made to feel' at home. A pleasant time was spent together and when the friends retired they left many good things in toe way of edibles behind them. Elthel. Reeve Milne has returned from a trip to Muskoka. Mrs. John Imlay is visiting hor sister- in-law in Hamilton. 11, W. Milne's children are recovering from the measles. Mrs. Wm. Spence and Mrs.. Annie are visiting their brother in Lockport. Judging from the noise made by the big drum the 1211i of July must be near, Geo. Dobson is spending his holidays at home. Ile has charge of a solrool near Stayner. David Milne leas purchased a there'- bred cow and calf from J. it; W. Watt, of Salem, for $800. .1 The wife of J. T. Cook presented hint with twin baby boysbat we aro sorry 10 say one of them died. D. H. Tindall has been heard front in Muskoka. He likes the oountry but re. grets the absence of female society. Over 800 bexoe of oheese were sold at the oheete fair last week, in Listowel, made at our factory, Nino and fivo- eixtesnth8 cents per pound was the price received. Jno. Cober & Son have turned out 23 buggies and 12 wagons this season so far. They are doing a spleudid business. Good work tells every time. William Hicks and family had mul- berries with cream and sugar for tea one evening last week. He has a fine tree loaded with excellent fruit. Maria Jano Walsh, of the township of Cavan, died on the 2nd inst., at the age of 41 years and 7 months. Deceased was a sister of Mr's. S. Ames, of Grey. A. W. Panabaker took a trip to Hes- paler last Saturday. He returned last Tuesday evening a000mpanied by his wife, who has been visiting friends there for the last few weeks. Some eay A. W. was getting lonesome. Wo had another instance, last Satur- day night, (or Sunday morning), of the effects of ging Alcohol on the human system. It clearly showed how a loving husband and affeotionate father can be transformed into a raving maniac. Oh I when will some men learn to be sensible and leave the abominable liquor alone ? Our athletes, W. Lyues and Geo. Rob. ertson, attended the games at Attwood on Dominion Day. The former took 1st prize for the 100 yard race and 2nd for high jump, and the latter soothed three 2nd prizes for running and jumping. Nearly all the races were canoelled or no doubt our boys would have come well to the t. It isfrona pity that a few of our villagers don't know how to conduct themselves when they get away from home. It is reported that, at Attwood last Friday, some of them got into such a Malay -like frenzy, that they wanted to run "a -muck" with everyone they met, but generally with those whom they thought they could easily get away with. A young gent froth the vicinity of Ethel attended the Atwood sports with his lady love and spent the day in her company, playing the usual attentions and all ovals for the inner -person. When night Dame the fickle fair ono left her first love and came home with another gent, whom she fortunately (or otherwise) met in the vil. lags. Manan—Go alone. On Friday morning the Ethel Band and quite a number of the young people of the village left for Attwood to attend thegemes during the day and the concert in the evening. They report a very pleasant time notwithstanding the ex. tramp heat. The concert in the • evening was a perfect success. We congratulate Attwood Band ou the euaoess of the day's proceedings.

Pic.wio.—Tare Presbyterian Sun- day School held their annual pio-nio iu Dilworth's grove, just oast of the village, on Dominion day: Tho ladies had pre- pared a splendid spread of strawberries and cream and any quantity of sand. wiobes, cakes, pies, iio., so whioli ample justice was done. After the tables had been cleared the musical and literary part of the program was entered upon under the capable management of Dr. Cale as chairman, who filled the bill to a nicety. Musical selections were rendered by a quartette choir from Brussels, COM - posed of the Misses Herr, T. Humphries and W. H. Herr, Mrs. W. H. Kerr pre.siding at the organ. Amusiing readings were rendered by J. A. Pfinag and Dr, Cale, and short addresses were given by W. Z. Kerr and Rev. R. Paul. The gathering broke up with votes of thanks to the preens assisting in the program and the ladies of the congregation. The prooeede of the day amounted to over $28.00 and after all expenses have been paid there will be about 813.00 clear. Cheers were given for the Queen and the company separated. A large number of persona were disappointed at the non. appearance of De. Macdonald, 51. P., who was billed to give an address. Mr, Young reoeived a letter on Saturday, written by the Dr. On Juno 80, whioh r said. tlp to last night I 'intended go. ing to Ethel to enjoy myself with 'my friends there, but yesterday 1 got a very sick patient, 6 miles from hero, that must bo seers to -morrow.. This evening I was called out to find a man dangerously ill of inflammation of the bowels, and Iia won't hear of my going away tomorrow, I am sorry, therefore, that pleasure for to -morrow must be postponed for some future time, when I will bo glad to bo with you, Explain the cause of my ab- sence and say that the unoectaintios of my profeeeiou very frequently disappoints others as well as myself."
