The very fine eveniui; and sood roads brought out quite a number from the vicinity aud neighboring village, who weut home fully satisfied that thcv had spent a very enjoyable evening. The first thing on the procrammo was the Fi-'h Poud, which seemed to be the chief attraction. After the Tien were all mutclied, aud we must say, some of them very satisfactorilv, the fiohing commenced. Two good lines were provided, aud fcr nearly an liour, were cast in ttie pond with wonderful rapid- ity. Some were fisliing Ihnt evening that had not fished for years, young and old had a haul going home. The laugh occasioned by the above sport was worth the admission alonet After the fruit was passed round Man's Dread was introduced to the notice of those who wished to see it. Some of our young gents would not believe that such a small tliiug would be the dread of any man. 'Tis plainly seen they imve uotexperienced it yet,or their opinions would be different. We hope none of the young Indies of Markdale will be compelled to resort to the use of such a dreadful little thing. The comical Reading orMessrs. McDaugal aud Irwiu met with hearty applause.

Tlie other roads in the neighborbuud sre m almoet an im passable condition. What do we pay a council for if they do not look after the roads. If things remain as taey are we migh( as well be without one altogether. We have a new printing,oSoe here. They have a notice posted 1ip in their office which reads as follows â€" "No- Ticx. â€" A'o loaftra aUoicrd." We have no loafers iu our village, and I think he had better send that ohl foggy uo- tice to where be brought it from. The 24tta passed off very quietly with us. The day was chiefly taken np with pic-uio parties, some going U Bruster's lake aud others to Eugenia, the remainder stayed at home and walked in the Park. An nnusual aroma was discovered on Monday and people commenced searching around their stables aud out- buildings to find out the cause, after a time it was ascertained to arise firom a dead cow that had been left to rot in the sun. The question was asked why our city fathers, who are supposed to look after such matters, had per- mitted such a Duitance to exist when lo and behold, it turned out that the cow bad been tae property of one of them and that another had drawn it there with his team. The boys of our village are perse- cuting the "sparrows very much. H our licavenly Father takes notice of one sparrow, what will he thmk of these boys who are committing whtde- salo slaiigl'ter among them. We warn them that if they don't desist, they will be apt to take an excursion to our county town. KIMBERLEY AND VICINITY To the Editorof the STAXSAsn.

A L.^cK}8SE Match was played here on Friday afternoon the 20th inst., between the "Grays" of Sbelburne and the "Gametts" of Dnndalk, which resulted in favor of the "Grays," they winning three straight games. The games throughout wore closely con- tested, and kept np for a oonsiderable length of time, and have no doubt that if both olnbs devote more time to practice they will show a good record this season. The concert in the evening ander the directorship of Mr. Parsons was a decided success, and reflects credit to all parties who took part therein.

Tbe aonieiplftHyee and tbe govanuoeot when appealed to refisae to give any further aid, and the hood- boldei? were growing re atie sa and or- gert. Every projeet of the old board reorganinng tbe road and widuinc the gauge hadCuled, and than tbe oontnil o( the road and iu affairs was banded overto the bondholders. Tbi* was in June of last year! Tbe new board reapaned negotitat- ions With tbe municipalities, aoirgaat- ing an arranitemeut by which the Grand Trunk might operate the hue, if considered deairable in the interest of all parties. The directors believed that this could be accomplished, from interviews had with the general man- ager of the Grand Trunk, and at a oonveutiou ot delegates from tbe mnnicapalities the suggestion was ap- proved. The schemo was to raise $1, 000,000 hy preference debenture stock and aidditional municipal aid, change the line to the standard gauge, re-lay it with steel rails, pay off its liabilities and arrange with tiio Grand Trunk to work it, Tho tdrms of the proposed lease wei-e rejected by Mr. Hiekson as ex- travagant, but were accepted by the directors of his company iu London, much to the surprise of evsrybody. Legislation was required, and a bill was introduce last session authorizing the Tronto, Grey aud Bruce board to lease tlie road to any other railway company. But t} this proposal vigor- ousobjectiions were urgedby en or twelve members whose concititntents were interested in the road. They remembered that the Hamilton and Northwestern had recieved large bonuses from the mnniciphties on the understanding that it was to be a competiting line to the North- ern.^but that when it suited their purpose the directors of the for- mer road handed it Over to the latter. They were willing that the read should be leaV)d to the Grand Trunk, but un- der DO circumstances to the Northern partly because tlie lattar would be given monopoly of the trade of the northern and northwestern counties, and partly because it was not itself financially able lo give a guarantee of operating the line. Finnaly it was agreed that the line might be leased to the Grand Trunk, or, vrith the assent of the governor in ooucil, to the Great Western or Northern. Meantime the bondholders wore making their arrajgeineuts for improv- ing the track, and the prospscts of the road were brightening every day. Capitalists no longer looked askance a' the securities, but showed their on- fidence by offers of 96 for the new prefeienoe bonds. This was not because the business of the Tronto, Grey and Bruce was improved â€" for it was not â€" but simply and solely because it was about to pass into the hands of the Grand Trunk. Then Mr. Hendria, of Hamilton, moved by a de- sire to benfit his own city and the Hamiltou and Northwestern road, procured aiu^fer from thti Northern Company; Kcnw all the present agi- tation. This recitation of facts is necessary to show how tho Toronto, Grey and Bruce came to possess any value iu the eyes of rail way men and capitftlists. The municipalities when appealed to last year voted $85,000. and if the bondholders proposed to operate the road themselres their securities would go a begging in the market. If tbe Grand Truuk offer was withdrawn now their condiMon would be as help- less aud hopeless as a year ago. It is consequently the sheerest folly to advise them â€" as the Globe and Hail are doing â€" to reject the offer of both the Grand Trunk and Northern and operate the road as an indepondient linei â€" Toronto World. Forall purposes of a family medicine Haotabo's Yellow On. will be found invaluable. Immediate relief will follow its use.

OHAVAsax, r.B.a.8., arc., BUOLAliO. 'None baa yet penetrated into the myatery of a mother's influence over her child. Science is beginning to show how all important is this influ- ence before birth, but soieoee hai not yet found oot what germs of charac- ter are earliest developed and fostered by tbe magneium of a mother's love, in its direct bearing on tbe physical and mental growth. 'A Uttle child can only judge of you by your action. It is no use preach- ^ig at or to him. Your actions to- ward him speak uiore volubly, forcibly and effectually than words. 'Boys ought never to be allowed to sleep with (female) sdrvants. Many a pure, innocent boy has had his body weakened and his mind corrupted for Ufe by this practice being allowed. 'When a child is unusually naughty and cross, the chauces are that he is not well Let him have a run and a romp out of doors, aud, ifrpossible, iu the green fields. Never deceive your child. If you ones do, he will never believe you again; aod mischief will be done which years will not repair. 'The best physicians for many com- plaints are â€" Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet, aud Dr Merrymau â€" diet, rest and cheer- fulness. 'Every child ought to have his flow- er garden â€" a plot of ground that he might call his own â€" that he might, to hia heart's conteut, dig and delve, plant and sow. 'A quncking mother (one who is al- ways dosing her children) is a misfor- tune to her child, ami makes plenty of wotk for the doctoi s. 'Some mothers de8;rve a whipping more than do their children she hav- ing eucouraged a fault ly bad manage- ment, is the real offender. Temperance, early rising aud spong- ing the whole of the body every moru- ing, either with tepid or cold, are pre- ventives of cold, provocatives of health, helps to longevity and sharpeners of the intellect. "The method by which." says Sur Astley Cooper, "I preserve my own hialth, are tcmperaijce, early rising and sponging the hotly eveiy morning with cold wat«r immediately after getting out of bed, a nractice which 1 have adopted for thirty years, and although I go from the hot thea- tre into the wards of the hospital on the severest winter nights with mere- ly silk stockings on my leits, I scarcely ever bad a ooid.' â€" Canada Health Journal.
