Pmsno.—It has been decided to hold
the union Harvest Home picnic on the

last week. The reason for the change
is to allow a completion of the harvest
and• t� pierfrict arrangements. The

timeand large crowd is anticipated.
NEW BRIEGE.—Woz k on the new
bridge on con. 4 and 5, across the
Maitland river, was commenced on
Monday, by the contractor, Walt.
Mains, Some difficulty has been ex
perienced in securing a pile driver, the
one owned by the county being broken
or 1st, • and the contractor finding it
necessary to secure one from Middle-
sex; this will account for delay in the
• work. --
CIELLDREN'S DAY. -.-On the 3rd of
August Children's Day was celebrated
in the Hullett Evangelical church,
which was beautifully decorated with
flower e and evergreens. The program,

logues, etc., in the German and Eng-
lish languages, was well rendered, and
appreciated by all. The little church
was crowded; No doubt exists in re-
gard to the success of the day, the
collection', 517.15, speaks for itself.
Some were so well pleased that they
came the next day and swelled the
Collection to$18, That is well done.

POSTAL MATTEREL-There is consid-
erable talk here over the rumored
change of the post office, consequent
on the change of government. Mr

• office, and who, it is alleged, lost it
• At:day:because he is a Liberal, is said
to be one of the applicants for it in
case there is e change. For some years

storm the past week, we are glad to f,
say that no serious damage has been
done by fire in our vicinity.

months. He says the fever is again
raging in that part, there being 53
cases when he left. As Joe had a
tough entonnter with it some rno-iths
ago he thought that discretion was
the better part of valor, and accord-
ingly sought a healthier climate. After
all there is no place like home.
THRESHING. — Once again we bear
the busy threshers as they go their
rounds; there are three machines in
in this immediate vicinity, William
Morrish's, Levi Snyder's and Richard
Jewell's; they are all good machines
and according to all accounts each one
is as good as either of the , others and
better. The yield is very good in most
instances; the best we ba,ve heard of
yet is that of Wesley W. Fisher; the
peas averaged over 30 bushels to the
acre and the barley 45.
NOTES. —Mr R S. Warner, of Salt -
ford, was renewing acquaintances
here last week, Mr Arthur Maedal,
of Detroit, arrived here on Saturday
last for his vacation; he looks as hale
and hearty as ever, uncle Sarn's do-
minions seem to agree with him, but
we think it is because he is so near the
border where he can get a •breath of
Canadian air. The League held its
usual monthly consecration meeting
last Friday evening; there were quite
a number present. Schools re -open
next Monday. Mrs D. Gledhill and
child, of Kincardine, returned to her
home Wednesday on the boat; Messrs
Thos. and Alton Gledhill accompanied
her.

ACCIDENT. Mr H. Hastings met

ing this week, and Mrs F. J. Oaten is
to give a paper on "Methodism," an
historical sketch, next Wednesday
evening. The lar ge congregations that
regularly assemble at this church
speak well for its popularity.
NOTES. —There was no service in
Bethany church on Sunday, owing to
the church being under repair. Mr T.
