Miss Swan received some handsome presents, two in particular being very fine, from Mr and Mrs Rattenbury, of the Rattenbury House, her former employers. A wed- ding dinner was served, and they after- wards drove to Clinton, taking the 4.30 train for Chatham, where they will re- side in future. PI picnics ever ihenjoyable in Union Sc pi nvSchool Section was the one which was held on Wednesday afternoon of last week in the school grounds and the adjoining Woods. Preparations for this event were comp1C a in every respect. The day was all brat could be desired and early in the afternoon the people began wending their way to the grounds, and before dewfall the gathered numbered well into the hundreds. One of the pleasing features was to see so many of the elders in attendance and we feel safe in saying they heartily enjoyed the afternoon's outing. The oard showed their usual generosity by pur- chasing prizes and presents for the children, the former being won by rac- ing, manywe ehepr•a sewn twhich was hycomments expressed by the on -lookers. Follow- ing this was the call to a sumptuous repast prepared by the fair ones of the section and this part of the program deserves special mention, The young ladies have proved themselves quite capable of getting up a supper that will rival anything we have ever seen for both quality and quantity. They have truly distinguished themselves in the culinary department and the array dis- played on four successive tables more than amazed the partakers thereof and the conclusion a visitor would form would be that a great deal of rivalry existed between the ladies in this de- partment, but such is not the case as it is but natural for them to be first-class cooks. After tea the remainder of the evening was spent in conversation, foot-ball,base-ball,&e., and at a reason- able hour all departedfor their respec- tive homes with well wishes on whose sholders falls the honor of this occasion.
