A couple of la<ls drove a livery horse down to Kimberley on Sunday to visit the cami>ers. When preparing; to return they collared a farmer's nai; instead of their own and never knew the difference until the liveryman poiiited out the fact to them. This necessitated a second trip down the Beaver to straikfhteii things out. The late rains did nut damage grain very much in this district, not nearly so much as was feaieil. While being con- siderably lodged and dilhcult to handle, the grain is pluniu and a good siiinple. Hay was the only thing severely dam- aged, but there is plenty of first class hay still left ill the country. Mr. R. Oliver is home from his Algonm mine.

There cair.e one remarkably heavy crash of thuiid^-r, followed instantly by a seci^nd peal with such sharp, cannon like explo- sion that the citizens hounded from their beds.

Camp Scots Greys Xo 87, S.O.S., held a very success- ful picnic on the public school grouin's, Priceville. The day was fair and ex-" tremely warm, causing many to remain at home in care of the hay and 'â-  iivest crops, who would otherwise have desiretl to be present. Aa it was, we hail a goodly assemblage of 500 or tJOO persons of all ages and sex. And I might he e remark to the iinitvimonial'y inclined youths of the outside wothl. th.it Inul they been present un the occasion re- ferred to they would have •Kir.-»t jk vest bu;to;i.

Dr. Button w.ts called to the chair by un.iniinous voiee, and called uj.'oii John Mc.\ithur, Esq., who, in hisu.sual racy, happy, spir- ited inannei', opened the day's proceed ings, whi.^h teniiiiinte 1 so satisfactorily. Mr. Hinnie, county coiincllor, gave a feli'Mtous adJre,i8 on the priiioiples of the ordi.r, its o'ljocts and aims, ai d said th.it we should never foritet the land of our nativity. Mr. Roberts^in, Gnnd Secre- tary of the order of S"ns of Scotland 111 Can.ida, gave us an iiiipressivM and forc- ible add.ess, winch lack of sp.co causes us to condoiife into the fo'lowiug words : L.'yalty, Tiuth, Vittue.

A sumptuou.1 luncheon was the next order on the program, and a few more tuiiPS on the merry pipes, and the com- pany dispersed, Happy to meet. Sorry to pait. Mr. R. Parslow and a host of friends from Proton honored the assemblage with their presence. Sandie Stewart of Flesherton Station carried ihe palm as a step dancer. Mr. Dugaid McLean addressed the audience in the native Gaelic, and, from our knowledge of Dugald's hiiiic, we feel sure that those who understmid him re- ceived a practical lesson they will uot be likely soon to forget. Mr. RuastaiUler, Dr. Carter and other friends from Flesherton were present. Lacrosse at Sheiburne Tlie Sheiburne - Markdale lacrosse match at Sheiburne on Friday was the most keenly contested giiue of the sea- son. About 150 people went down from Markdale by special train, while numbers went from Flesherton and Dundalk. There was a very lar^e attendance of enthusiastic supporters of both teams. The game started at 2.5'5, and ended in a score of (> to 3 in favor of Sheiburne. but there were two disputed goals and the otHcial score was 4 to 3. The World if Saturtlay gave an excellent re|)ort of the game. It said : After two hours' hard play the score stood 3 to 3 It w.is ihen decided to play it out, the team winnini; the first next uame to be the winners. It went to Sheiburne in exactly two iiiin- u'es. The play was very fast from the start, but Sheiburne had the iiiucli-be*ttr stick handlers, especially McLean, Pa • terson, the two McKays and Madill. Markdale made a fine showing with Caiii(.* bell, .Armstrong and Coleman. The games went : First to Sheiburne in 9 minutes, second to Sheiburne iu 6i minutes, ihinl to Markdale in 7 minutes, fourth to Markdale in ^ minute, fifth to Markdale ill 65 minutes, sixth to Sheiburne in 1 minute, seventh to Sheiburne in 2 inin. Thisiiame makes Shelbuini and Mark- dale tie fur first place. Dundalk plays Markdale at Markdale on Aug. 13, and Sheiburne plays Flesherton here on Aug 20 te finish the season. These games will doubtless be victoties for each of the clubs now beading the race, which will necessitate a play off to decide the cham- pionship. â-  I lei I * Mr. A. W. Campbell.
