Irish Lake Picnic. Thursday morning last opened up v.ill] a dri/.zliiij,' rain, which continued 10 fall until shortly after dinner, iic- eompaiiied by high winds. Hundreds were thus prevented attending the great annual picnic ut tliat charming Hpot, the Irish Lake. liiit, notwith- iitaiiding the unpropitious slate of the veiillier, Poveral liiindi-ed people from Markdale, J>urliam, Dundalk, Max- well, I'liceville, Flesherton and the itnwcdiate nciqliiwrhood were tlioro. About o«a o'clock the heavy masses of clouds bc4,'an to disperse, and bj' and b} Old Sol got a chance occasion- ally to scatter a few bright, cheering rays of sunshine upon ilie bosom of Mother Earth. I'lom this time until four o'clock a pretty steady stream ol vehioh'd poured into the beautiful Parish Grounds adjoining Irish Lake ; and eventually tlie gathering became a pretty largo one. Had the weather been fine iu the fureiinon, the Picnic â- would probably have bct'ii one of the most succoasful ever held iu the Coun- ty. Considering all things it was a BUCC08fl. Itev. Father Fecuy worked with inigiit and main in conucctiou with the Picnic. During the day lin re- ceived a large iiunibcr of callers, to whom lie extended the hospilaUtics of jatorc one day not long since.

He keeps the villagers and country people well supplii d with fresh meat, and strives by honest deal- ing to extend his busiiie.^s operations. Ocorge IS deserving of a hearty and unstinted patronage. Detective McDonald refused to allow Mrs. Caswell on the school grounds on Dominion Day if she liad any whiskey with her. "And now," says Mrs. C, "he wishes to â€" that I liud brougiit some so that I could have given him a drop !" Tiio Campbells, brother and sister, of London, Out., danced merrily and most gracefully to tiie excellent bag- pipe music rendered by Mr. Hector McDonald on Dominion Day. The athletic games and sports were keenly contested. Mr. A. McCabe, merchant, announ- ces unprecedented bargains in every department in iiis well stocked general store. Call and see him when in Pricoville. You will find ovcrything sold at close prices tind your wants will he courteously and promptly at- tended to. An old lady came into a Pricoville Lady Bank.

Hlie then bowed to tlie audience and began a jig tune, whieli captivat- ed the auilieuce until slie took the cornet from iier mouth and made a small retiring bow, but to the surprise of the audience kept on playing a tew extra notes. Mr. Greeinv(Jod, leader of the gentleiiKng' band, was behind the screen nnd the delusion up to this point had t)i en ':ijmplete.

Ayer's Sarsaporllla stands " head and shoulders" above every other Alter- ative and Ulo«<I Medicine. As proof, read these reliable testimonies : f}. C. Brock, of Lowell, Mass., say*; " For the past 25 years I have sold Ayor's 8arsaparllla. In my opinion, tlie liest reinedinl agencies for the euro of all the diseases arising from impnrl- tius of the blood are contained in this medicine." E«Kcnn T. Hill, M. D., 3«1 Sixth Ave., Ninv York, says : "As a bloiMl-puriHer and general huild«r-up of the system, I have never found anythinK to uqiiiil Ayer's .Sarsaparilla. It gives perfect Btttisf action." Ayer's Sarsaparilta proves equally efficacious in all forms of. Scrofula, Uoils, Carbuncles, Eczema, Humors, Lumbago, Catarrh, &c.; and is, there- fore, the very best Spring and Family Medicine in use.

Mr. Editor, â€" I have often wondered . that no person in this thriving vicin- ity took interest enough in the hap- peniuga of the neighborhood to make them public or to regale their intellects after the manual labor of the day or week to chronicle a few of the events that transpire from time to time for the benefit of their neighboiliood and the public in general. I tliink this neighborhood as prolific of news as a great many places, and perhaps if tiie spell is broken .some one will fall into lino and keep us posted on matters tending to the general good and infor- mation of your readers aud to the pulslic in general. One of the events of the day was a barn raising on the farm of Mr. 11. Iioberts. This structure is one of the finest and largest in the neighborhood. Size 42 X CO with a stone foundation !) ft. high under the entire building. The contractor for the frame work id Mr. James Potts and lie has executed his contract in a masterly manner. I have not been able to learn tliu name of the contractor for the stone work. This is al.io cleverly done. t^uitc a number from the McLityre settlement were present. The sides were Lady 15unk against Mclntyrc. Messrs. T. Cooper aud W. Mackenzie were cap- tains. Cooper represented Lady Bank and Mckenzie represented Mclntyie. Although there are some smart fellows ou buildings here the Mclntyre side proved themselves a little superior by getting on all their rafters complete before Lady Dank had a single plate on. However we do not feel discom- htcd and hope to try them again with better success next time. After the raising the young folks displayed tlieir skill III gestic lore until the moniing beams lit up the eastern horizon. One thing however we noticed throughout was the absence of the ladies of the neighborhood and a predomiuence of a select and favored )iumber from a distance. However the neighboring ladies do not feel much chagrined at the sight. During the day Mr. Itob- erts received rather a severe bruise on the ankle between two pieces of tim- ber, but ho is able to be around again. Miss Carr, school teacher at No. ti, entertained her scholars last Friday by holding a picnic in the woods bock of the sciiool. tjuite au enjoyable time was spent. .Ml . .John Liuley also raised a frame stable 2'2 x GO of his own workman- ship and it compareH favorably with that erected by other and more ex- perienced mechanic-". All the modest matrons und blushing maidens of the iiei-hborliootl were invited and a good- ly number stayed for the customary entertainment lifter the raising. The otlier night some disloyal per- sons visited till' luemises of Mr. Robt. Clements and cut the rope and broke the top of the Hag i>ole that stands in his yard. The pole was estimated to he tile hi.;]iest in tiie country, its top Ix'iiig aUml Ki feet above ground. He liowever had the top fixed on again and its height is now about 70 feet. NVe admire his loyalty. Mr. \V. T. Paul has gone to Thorn- hill, Manitoba, to .sio the place pre- paratory to moving there shouhl he like the country. Tlu! road work was done hero last week aud as usual it was put ou the side road where it accommodates the patlim.-tster and one or two more aud the concession where it would be a benefit to all has received scarcely any attention for the last two or three years.
