TOUGH ENOUGH.—We hear of some farmers not far from Londesboro, who are doing as is done in part of Bruce and Grey, viz : cutting down trees to feed the cattle on the br ush and leaves thus procured. The question is if the summer is so bad what will the winter be? Some have turned the cattle into oat fields to give tlfe poor animals a chance to live. SUDDEN DEATH.—Mrs Chas.

Our young minister, MrFra- lick, seems to be very popular with the congregations of which he has charge.

BRUCEFIELD AS A SUMMER RESORT —W hen the praises of other hamlets are being sounded with clarion voice and golden pen it might not be out of place to set forth very briefly a few of the many advantages which our be -'g offers, to those who wish to escape for a time the noise and whirl of city and town life. As you enter our village in the early morn—the bright sen on its golden car having just ascended the eastern horizon, and the various song- sters pouring forth from:their swollen throats the delicious notes of music— the scene is indeed a pleasing one, and you are almost led to exclaim in the words of the poet : "Sure scenes like these no troubles e'er annoyl! Sure these denote one universal joy." Brucefleld, as commercial travellers tell us, is one of the prettiest a eat- -est villages in the province, eoiltaining threecnur•ches, two hotels, three smities, two butchers, two tailors, etc., besides four general stores, where tea, coffee and sugar and the various etceteras of camping outfits can be ob- tained by those desiring to spend two or three weeks in our vicinity. ,We have a junior foot -ball club tl,t has not been beaten this season, and until a couple of years ago had a senior club which, though competing at several foot -ball tournaments, won an unbrok- en series of victories for three or four years. Out cricket club was victorious in all their matchearwith the exception of the return match with Clinton. It is a clear evidence ot the increasing popularity ot our village as a summer resort, that tourists come here in year- ly increasing numbers. During the past week we have had, besides num- erous short visits front the citizens of Seaforth and Clinton, Miss Cook and Miss Doyle, daughter of Judge Doyle of Goderich; Mr McIntosh, of London; Mrs Rathwell and family, of Toronto; and the Misses VanEvery, of uhicago; to each and all of whom we extent a hearty welccme, and hope and trust they will return home much invigorat- ed in health. We would suggest to our city fathers that they build and maintain tor the accommodation of our summer guests, a large number of sum- mer cottages, and at least, two or three summer hotels built on the most ap- proved style. They should he built on the rugged hanks of "Peter's Creek" so as to have a commanding view of that fair flowing and picturesque stream. We would als humbly suggest, seeing that the governmentis so lavish in their expenditure of public money, that they set apart two or three hun- dred thousands for the building and maintaining of a navy on the afore- mentioned `stream. It could be used in the merchantile trade in time of peace, and in time of war could sail down to Bayfield and defend that homely town from the foreign inva- ders. Of some of the special features and attractions of our village perhaps more [anon. We should not be at all surprised if by next week, somebody in Holmesville had suddenly discover- ed that their way -side hamlet offered exceptional advantages to the pleasure and health seeker. Stanley. SICKNESS.—Mr Duncan McKenzie is at present on the sick list, we hope for his speedy recovery. Mr Frank Scott and Mr John Scott have been confined to the house for some time with rheu- matism. NOTES.—We are glad to hear that Mrs Wm. Clark, who has been sick for some time,‘is recovering.

We supposed what we said was correct at the time, but had no intention of Misleading. As we cannot always get facts the straightest on short notice,we hope When an error does appear, it will be dealt with in like manner. CHURCH.—Epworth League meets Monday next. Quarterly sgrvices a Week from next Sunday. The sermon slivered by the pastor, Rev G. M. An- drews, on Sunday evening, from the words, "Now we know in pat t," was grand. We have not time to give an outline of the subject, but would say that our opinion at first of Mr Andrews being a man of great thought is more than sustained. VERY CREDITABLE.—We congratu- late Bayfield on its advancement in journalism. The Ba field Advertiser is certainly a neat edition, and cannot fail to increase the popularity of this famous summer resort. The editor, J. G. Stanbury, we have not met since we were schoolboys together, but judg- ing from the "Briefs from Breezy Bay- field," we have no fear for the Adver- tiser's success. We wish the editor every prosperity in his undertaking. WELL PLEASED.—Messrs S. Merrills and J. Jervis returned from Michigan on Saturday. Their trip down the lake and return was very pleasant, and we are sorry to say they have yet to learn how delightful it is to be thor- oughly sea sick. The vicinity of Port Huron is not a good farming section, but as one gets back from the lake the land is very productive; what was once a vast swamp is now, owing to the overnment drains, all workable land. hey did not purchase, but expect to return about September lst, when they will locate somewhere near San- dusky. WILD CAT.—What is supposed to be a wild cat, or lytrx, was seen by Mr Joseph Proctor one day last week, 01:1 his pasture land, just east of the vill- age. He was going along the creek in the hush, when he noticed some long animal creeping quietly towards him; as soon as it saw him it wheeled so quickly he was enable to see where it went to. He thinks it was five or six feet in ,length, no tail, and kind of whitish spots along the side. The cat- tle saw it and were much frightened, and his dog, one that he says is afraid of nothing, was so badly scared that it would not leave him while near the place. Since the bear visited us some years ago, we have not had many wild beasts, especially so near. Probably this will be heard of some where else shortly. RING OUT, YE BELLS, — Ashland Farm witnessed a pleasant scene on Wednesday, when Esther, daughter of Jos. Proctor, Esq., was married to Mr J. H. Lowery, of Summerhill. The ceremony took place at 11 a.m., per- formed by Rev (:I. M. Andrews, before about forty assembled guests. The bride wore a dress of cre,un cashmere, trimmed with lace and ribbon, over which gracefully hung the bridal veil. The attendance of bridesmaids and groomsmen was omitted. After a splendid dinner they drove to Gode- rich, where they took boat for Detroit. They will he absent about ten days, and probably take in the trip up the lakes hefore they return. Mr Lowery and his bride are well known and high- ly respected by all, and to say they take with them our well wishes is but mildly nut. The bride was the recipi- ent of many handsome presents,among these was a hanging lamp and teapot given by the members of Holmesville choir, of which she was a member, ac- companied by the following address :— To urea ERTUr 1, PuocTon--Dear choir sister —Itis wifh feelings of deepest Borrow and r • grot that we learn of your intended removal trom our midst, and as a consequence a sever ante from our choir.
