IMPROVEMENTS. - 1'jr Rowland Jenkins, of the 16th, has been very busy for the past few days moving a barn, which reig'tt well be termed a land mark, from the front part of his farm and placing it side by side with his new one, thus giving him much increase of stabling and other accom- modation.

O where are. the pleas the people did make All geese to have killed and thrown in the lake? Where are the promises at election time given To have night -rambling herds from our public streets driven? The Presbyterians have decided to make some ,necessary improvements on their church. ' The intention is either to enlarge or else to build a brick porch outside with the addition of a gallery inside. A congregational meeting is called this week, after which building will be immediately commenced. • As is well known our little village is composed almost entirely of Con- seryative blood, ani therefore the news of the death of Sir John Mc- Donald fell with peculiar force here, but one and all joined in lamenting the death of a truly talented states- man who bas nurtured Canada from the ,cradle up to full womanhood and retires from the scene leaving a name which shall prominently figure in the annals of the past half .century. On Sunday morning about 7.30 a cab -load of Salvationists from Sea- fqrth were landed a little before they were prepared and somewhat more precipitous tbau w:ss conjenial- for several of the no rube ; when they:had arrived in town ani were passing through Main S(reet, one of the hind wheels- gave way, throwing the oc- cupants out, but not producing any injuries further than a few bruises and scratches.

The day was all that could be desired and about 10 o'clock the children and parents commenced to arrive, and by noon the grounds were fairly alive with people. At 10.30 -dinner was served,when about four hundred par• took or dinner. After dinner all sorts of games were participated in by the children, when about $25 worth of prizes were distributed among them. About the same time a football match between the home team and the Beavers of Holmesville, took place, when -after time was called the score stood two goals to one in favor of the home team. Again about 6 o'clock lunch was served to a greatly aug- mented crowd,after which the people enjoyed themselves for a few hours in general recreation, when all wended their way homewards well satisfied with their day's outing. The boys speak very highly of the manner in which their contestants in the foot- ball match behaved. The football match passed off without a jar, and the boys are looking forwardwith much pleasure to the return match to be played shortly, as the found they Beavers real gentlemen. The teacher Mr Lawrence, is certainly to be con- gratulated on the efficient s teff of committees which second in such a hearty manner his efforts to make a suttees of anything he undertakes. NOTES. -Mrs Joseph lzcard and daughter, are spending a few weeks visiting relatives in the vicinity of Port Albert. Rev J. W. Churchill of Lion's Head, spent a few days last week under the parental roof, when on his way to conferencer. A certain young man from Clinton,who boasted that he did not come to the country for what he eat as he had a good town dinner previous to starting, seemed to appreciate what he got in way the of eatables at the pionic,even if it was in the country. The recent rains have made the farmers wear broad smiles. Mrs J. Holland, wbo has been ill for sometime, is able to be around. Mr Joseph Churchill, of the 14th con., who has been laid up with a severe at- tack of la grippe,which settled on his lungs, is so far recovered as to be able attend to his daily avocations again.

(Frohn another correspondent) Proeics-Pionics are all the go; there was one on the 7th con. last Friday, where a very enjoyable time was spent; dancing was the chief amusement; of course those who did- not choose to dance could enjoy themselves at other games. Then there was another the same day, on the 16th, being the fam- ons Lawrence picnic; we must say that Mr Lawrence desorves praise for tho way he carries on atoll successful ga- therings.

The ladies had made ample provision for an excellent repast, of which all partook, and then Miss Ruth Higgins read an address, and Mies A. Beattie presented ,Mrs Ross with a puree con- taining $106.26, in token ot their esteem. Mrs Ross made a very feel. ing reply, thanking all for their kindness and what the purse might eontain. The young people enjoyed themselves in various recreations, and the old in social converse. After worship, by Mr George Walker, all departed, well pleased with their en- joyment. The following is the ad- dress :- MRS Ross, - We, members and adherents of the Old Presbyterian Church, Brucefield, knowing some- thing of the great efforta you have put fortb, and are putting forth, for the spiritual and moral welfare, not only of our own people, but of all others with whom you come in con- tact, and being fully persuaded of the benefit arising from the sympathy of our fellows, have met to express our appreciation of your arduous and self -den, ing labors in the cause of the Master. Though we are fully aware that you have the approbation of your own conscience and of Him whosaye: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might," yet we would be pleased to add our expression of regard for your work. To make our exprc pion of esteem more tangible than words only, we beg you to accept this purse, with the hope that it may be a benefit to yourself and family, as well as an encouragement in your work and labor of love. It is our earnest wish and hope, that you may be long spared to be a continued blessing to trout' family, to the church and to the community, among whom you dwell. It is our prayer that the blessings you are scattering among others may be richly bestowed upon yourself, by Him who "giveth us all things richly to enjoy." PICNIC The annual S section pic• nit was held in Mr H W Allen's bush, on Friday last, and being under the direction of an able man. 'aging committee, including .the teacher, Mr Wm Kerr, it proved a success. At 1 o'clock about 100 feet was spread with the delicacies, which the ladies of this neighbor- hood know well how to prepare, and it is needless to add that the small boy was not required to be told to help himself. After dinner Mr H W Allen was called to the chair and a__very± apteresting program, coneiet-' ing of vocal and instrumental music, short addresses, reading, recitations 4c, were dibposed of.

The Blyth manufacturing Co is the firm name of Messrs Jameson & Ashbury's establishment for the manufacture of the Ross Pat. reaper and `mower knite ebarpener. For the past few years a good local trade was done here by Ross & King, but last year the above named firm purchased the right to manufacture and sell this handy and useful article, and they are now pushing the wholesales trade, and this year are shipping to all parts of Canada. In connection with the above business, this firm is running a large planing TEMPLA tM,—The R T of T purpose holding a musical entertainment in the hall here this (Friday) evening, at which a small admission will be charged.

Large crowds attended their services day after day but Sunday was especially the • time for a general inpouring from the surrounding country. There has not been so large a crowd in town this summer es that which assembled from all quarters on Sabbath last to benefit by the cool lake breezes. Major and Mrs Philpot were much thought of by those who heard them, as was also Secretary McGilvary, who delivered an interesting lecture to a large crowd on Saturday night, sub- ject "The fall of the woman who was killed by Jack the Ripper at White- chapel, Eng.” Stakes were drawn on Monday morning last,after a pleasant sojourn of eleven days. and -sash a eral machini WEDDING "Rosehill," th sictence or Mr Jas. Dodds, was the scene of a pleasant and ipteresting event, the occasion being the marriage of their eldest daughter, Aggie, to Mr Wm. McGow- an, of Wawanosh. About seventy guests witnessed the ceremony, which took place about 1 p. m. The bride was tastefully attired in fawn color of some delicate fabric; she was at. tended by her sister, Miss Jennie; the groom was attended by his bro- ther, Mr A. McGowan. -After a sumptuous repast was partaken of, Mr and Mrs McGowan left on the 4 o'clock train south; amid the con- gratulations of their friends, the regu• lotion old slippers, and the usual complement of rice, and if quantity of the latter is significant of prosperity and happiness, the young people will certainly bave their warmest hopes realized. We join with their many friends in wishing them every happi- Wass, and with the poet add "joy go wid them." NOTES. - Great preparations are being made for the cel ebration of the 1st of July here; the committees have spared no pains, and expect to make it -pleasant -and -profitable -to- may visit Blyth that day. Cards are out for a wedding, which is to take place shortly, when one of our promi- nent and popular young business men will be one of the leading figures. Mrs D. McKellar, who has been visit- ing ,Here for some time, left for her home in Delaware, on Friday. Mr H. McQuarrie, who has been ailing for some time, is, we are sorry to say, confined to the house, and unable to attend to his business, but we hope to learn of his early recovery. Pigs in- numerable, ot varied sizes and 'hues, were shipped from this station on Monday, by Mr E. Watson. Two of our young people took in the picnic at Harlock, on Friday, 12th, and re- port a pleasant time, which could hardly have been otherwise, under the circumstances. Rev A.

McLean, who was in Kingston attending the General As- semJly, Mr S Gracey and family, of Wingham, spent Tuesday in town with friends.

UNION - PecNIC.-A grand picnic will•be held on the river flats, on Friday, the 26th of June. Three day schools and our village Sabbath Schools will join • their forces and ." have a union picnic. We trust no. pains will be spared to make a very enjoyable time for all. Our minister of public works rias' quite adiseussion with two contras» tors. Twelve loads Of gravel.' he contended was a day's work, preyibus- ay only ten had been hauled. Oh that his contemporaries at Ottawa were as economical, we would not, have the disgraceful scenes, which; are enacted at present, but fair is best, and we doubt not, but ten loads is a good day's work. NOTES. -Mies Maggie Marks has returned from Toronto; we are sorry to learn that she is in very poor health. Fishing with hook and line is said tobe excellent just at present; large numbers are, trying it. The time is fast approaching for the ar- rival of the summer visitors, and judging from the sultry weather which prevails at present, it bids fair for a large number. Mr John Swarth has spared no pains to make everything. comfortable for his gueete,ae have also the other proprietors; the many who assemble here from all parts of On- tario and the States testify to the fact that this is one of nature's gardens, a most delicious summer resort. Ow- ing to impaired health, Miss Lottie Martin, of No 3 Stanley, was obliged to close her school last week. Mrs Lindsay is making quite an improve- ment to her farm by the placing of a stone foundation under the barn. Mr John Geminhardt who had been for some time engaged at the Sou, re- turned last week looking hale and hearty. When we have in town such skill in the use of the brush as pos- sessed by Mr Dan Harrison and others what excuse can there be leaving the Town Hall with each a barn ap- pearance. The Rev gentleman, who will supply the pulpit sof Trinity church during the absence in England of Rev Mr Newton, has arrived in town. ' Hill's Green. Mrs Ferguson has been visiting friends on Parline and in Fansville for the past few days. Mrs John Jarrott leaves for Dakota on the 23rd,to spend a few weeks with friends and relations living there.
