PICNIC.—The Y. P. S. held their
annual picnic on Wednesday of last
week. The affair was a grand success
from the beginning to end. The
sports were well contested through -
out. The nursing baby contest being
probably the most amusing. The
tug-of-war between 'a picked team of
ten on a side, was also *ay exciting.
In the afternoon a game of foot -ball
was played between a picked up team
from Zurich and a picked team from
Hilae' Green, which resulted in 3 to 0
in favor of the latter at the end of
half time. The playing on either
side was anything but scientific. Al -
tee the football a base -ball match was
played between 9 men taken from
each of the former teams. Two in-
nings were played, at the end of
which the scorer stood 10 to 1 in
favor of Zurich.

PICNIC.—The annual picnic in
connection with Stanley school was
held last Wednesday, in Taylor's
grove on the lake shore. They were
joined at Zurich by Mr Latta's school
and together they spent a very pleas-
ant time. Each school provided the
pupils and friends with appropriate
badges. Amusements were well pro-
vided for all by the two teachers.
There being a large sail boat in at-
tendance and several other entailer
ones. An interesting match of foot-
ball was played between the two
schools, and of course our boys suc-
ceeded in playing round the others
quite nicely. We heartily congratu •
late Mr Latta on his ability to con-
duct picnics

The Farewell meeting on Tuesday
evening was a very enjoyable coca•
eion, apart i'r,m the feeling of regret
at M Edge's ant.nrture. The base-
ment of the church was nicely re-
lieved by flower°, and the ladies
generously provided refreshments,`
after a short prayer meeting refresh-
ments were served, and then came
five minute farewells from Meeere
D Tipladv, R Houses, B P Sibley,
J A Giffin and Jas Stevens. Mr
Manning then in the name of the
united congregations of Clinton and
Turners made Mr Edge a presenta-
tion, which was handed std him by
Mrs Will Kay and Mies. Andrews, of
a purse containing 160 In gold. The
purse itself is a little gem, ingenious-
ly made of silk. by some of the ladies.
Mr Manning in his address referred
to the complete and unbroken bar -
mop r prevailing in the church. In
alk its departments. there bad never
been the slightest friction during Mr
Edge's pastorate. The business
meetings had been most harmonious
financially and epirtually, the three
years had witnessed success. Hie
closing wishes for Mr and Mrs Edge's
future happiness and prosperity in
their new home evoked many a hearty
"amen" from the large number pres-
ent, Mr Edge, who was genuinely
surprised, spoke most feelingly. He
said his three years in Clinton were
the best of hie 15 years ministerial
service. He had learned to love the
people of his church, and in fact of
all the churches. He was visibly af-
tected in saying his farewell words
and with difficulty finished hie ad.
dress. The audience united in sing
ing that grand hymn "God be with
you till we meet again," and those
present shook hands with one who
leaves, followed by the good wishes of
all.

NoTrs—The Queen's Own, of this
place, went to Clinton on the let to
play a friendly game of football with
the team of that place. The game
was by electric light and although no
goals were scored by either aides yet
the boys did very well considering
the unsteady and uneufficient light.
Some of our boys also did very well
at sports that day. B Bannerman
taking first in Blyth in shot throw-
ing while T. Agnew took first in run-
ning high jump, 200 yards race and
second shot. J Agnew in Clinton
took first in quarter mile and second
in 200 yards farmers' son's race.

CHEERY WORDS FROM DIFFERENT QUARTERS.
"Three cheers! the boys every one
got through* the 24th safely, there not
being one fall! --='s career was one be-
set by temptations' and difficulties, but
just at the right moment someone or
something would turn rep and he got
through all right. With --- they
worked from morning till night, but he
remained firm. •— perhaps, after all,
had the hardest time and straggle. The
hotel keepers fooled themselves nicely
this time. They picked out him as a
leader, and seemed to combine to make
him fall. But they could not have
chosen a worse one for themselves; he,
as we expected, came through it like a
rock."
FROM ANOTHER COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
"I am writing for a certificate, so
will not have much time to spare, but
if you will kindly send me some more
blank forms, 1 will endeavor to invest
the odd moments in that way. I may
also say that on leaving here this July,
I will try to have "Temperance con-
ducted in this mahner" introduced in
my home locality. —, a friend of
mine, attending the Collegiate, aleo said
I might solid you hie name with ad•
dress, and he will do what be can for
the tomperance cause, when he goes
home (about July 11th).
4'Il'ncicsdd plotters find twenty-three
irarrtee, Our reunite of a few days' work
straggles, more encouragement than one
can take in."
These extracts speak for themselves.
"I have written unto you young men,
because ye are strong." But the
"wicked one" is not “overcome" yet.
l Lots of genuine earnest work must be
done before this one great Goliath of
his shall be made to measure the ehrth.
*God bless you, dear boys and girls, who
are putting your hand to this. work.
Yours gratefully, ANNA Roes.

The Seaforth Expositor says: -
Notwithstanding the large number
of people who attended the Fireman's,
Tournainent here last week, and the,
consequent large sums taken at the
gates for entrance money, and the
liberal subscriptions of the citizens,
the expenses were so heavy that the
committee of management, when they
wind up everything, will have a balance
of about $60 on the wrong side of the
ledger, and the Firemen will have to
draw on their reserve funds for that
amount.
