The eleventh annaal picnic was held at the "Irish Lake" on Taesday. The weather was lovely and the at- tendance large. A new feature, and one which was much appreciated, was the "music from the old tin horn." Flesherton and Markdale hrass bauds appeared to advantage in uniform and render- ed m a masterly style selections of music to the delight of all loyers of music harmony. The contest betwesn the bands for a prize of $15 was close and somewhat difficult to decide, but was awarded to the Flesherton band. In the election for a gentlemans' Dressing Case, Mr. Lemont of Price- viUe was the winner. There was very little enthusiasm over this con- test, Parks Bros Btriae band famished music in their usual first class style aod the dancing platform was as usual well patronized. The Eev. Father Feeny has rare tact and judgement in supervising such grthenngs, and with his affable genial temperament made all feel at home.

Altho the weather was rather cool and damp it did not cool the ardour of the union pio-nic of the Methodist and Presbyterian Sabbath Schools of this village held on Thursday last. Thtre was a good turn out and every body appeared to join heartily into the various amusements of the day. Seldom on the departure of a Min- ister does so large a congregation as- semble as that in the Methodistchurch here on Sunday evening last to bsten to the last pulpit utterance of {he Eev. W. Ayers as pastor of this charge. Al- most every available seat was occupi- ed and the extension seats in the aisles filled to the doors.

"And now brethern, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace which is able to build yon up and give you an inheritance among all those which aie sanctified." The speaker delivered a very impressive and ap- propriate discourse at the close of the service M. Eichardson Esq., and Dr, Ghristoe delivered brief addresses ap- propriate to the occasion. Flesherton expects to celebrate Dominion Day loyally. Large posters announcing the field sport of the day, and in the afternoon the corner stone of the new School buildine; will be laid, which will be much the largest public building here, being about one third larger than either of our com- modious churches. It is expected the laying of the corner stone will bo con- ducted with Masonic Ceremonies. Arrangements are not completed yet as to who shall conduct theceremony. In the evening a garden party will be held under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid CMethodist) on Mr. M. Eicharde- on's lawn. No. 6 company of volanteors arriv- ed home safe on Saturday last. A warip lunch was provided for them by the good ladies of the town. Gapt. Campbell in a pithy address thanked the Ladies' heartily for their kindness in making such kind piovision for the men. Ex. Capt. W. E.Flesher address ed the company and complimented the men on their soldierly and neat ap- pearance. The men all looked hale and hearty and enjoyed their outing. JOHN J. DALEY, ESQ. A Bold Black Bear. Holland Centre. From our own correspondent. Holland Contre {Agricultural Society will hold a meeting on Saturday, July 2nd, to elect directors for the Fall Show. The annual pic-nic of S. Section No. 7 Holland Centre was a grand success. It rained little in the morning but cleared up beautifully in the afternoon. •Great credit is due the teacher, Miss Lizzie Mcore for the maimer in which the children were trained for the occasion. The party broke np about 6:30 and all retired much pleased. Mrs. A. E. Calcutt presented her husband with a fine boy on the 2l8t as a token of rememberence of the Queen's Jubflee. We wish the Jubilee toy and his mother every happiness. Our Volunteer boys returned .from Niagara in excellent condition. Some of them would jnst as leave stay there all summer. OuB Dbstikt.â€" A Western paper says that "Canada'adestiay is to be sflourish- ing State of the American Union." Yes, it's only a financial colony of the American Union now. â€" ^Tn-BiTS. On Snnday evening the 19th June when Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Henniug, lot 15. con. 9 Euphrasia, were return- ing from church, they were startled b^ a black bear which was apparent- ly making himself at home about the dwelling, and left quite leisurely on the approach of Mr. and Mrs. H. Tiie following evening his bearship again appeared, and with undaunted boldness strolled up to the house drank milk from a dish near the door, then went to the milk hoizee, which stands a few feec from the dwelling, where he pushed the partly opened door in and entered, there drinking a crock of cream and. a pail of fresh milk from there he wtilked around to the front of the house, got up with his paws on the window sill and look- ed in. As to fire-arms, Mr. Henniug was defenceless and was of course timid in making an attacit without such a weapon. Bruin ho\7ever left and Mr. H. summoned hi» laeighbors Eoht Nixon. Seth Mathers and S. Henning who soon arrived »rmed to the teeth, when each took a position to watch his return. The moments began to ghde tediously awa y and the shades of eyening crept over the at- mosphere when, behold, brum again put u an appearance as bold as ever. Each man laid low until he came within easy range of their shooting irons when "click" went Nixon's gun and the black: monnter, appearently sni-priseu, made a hasty reti-eat but fell before he got far, the ball iiaving toucueil a vital point. A second and third well aimed shots followed, when bruin turuf d up his tijes. The carcass weighed over, 200 lbs and the hide was pold to W. J. McFarlaud of this town. It is very evident that the bear had made frequent visits before detected, as a pail of milk at tlie door had dissiipeured sevei'al previous uights. Mrs. U. woujering .in the morning what could have taken it, but tlie mystery row appears to be soiveJ, Headache, Biliousness, Dyspepsia and Indigestion relieved and ct^ed at once by Dr. C^son's Stoniikch Bit«ei».
