Hurrah ' Hurrah for Zion picnic, which will bo held on the first of July in Mr. E. Jack's woods. A grand programme is being prepared, while over there under the shade is- cool lemonade and sweets for the boys and babies. Mrs. A. Cook is spending a few days with her daughter at Owen Sound. Mr. W. J. Wallace and Miss Lily Gray, of Amaranth, are spending a few days at their uncle's, Mr. E. Banks. We are going to call some evening this week, but it is not to see and talk to you, friend Wallace. Exciting Scene. â€" A grizzly was making* eyes at the flocks on 6th line last week,' but as Will. Banks inter- fered poor bruin had to take to the woods without any supper. He had better not come back as M. J. Davis has purchased a dog which will match the blind eyed muUey of said line. Oh bruin, beware. Bev. H. Caldwell preached an elo- quent sermon in Zion church last Sunday. Joe McGrade caught a fish last week weighing two and a half pounds. What a whapper I The fish are mean. The poetic Donold and merry Grace Mcllride, of Norinanby, spent Sunday at the home of Miss Nellie Edge.

They were caught about half a mile from here no serious damage was done. Messrs. J. Hamilton and C. VV. Eutledge, of Markdale, were in the Fails on business on Monday after- noon. An accident of quite a serious na- ture took place about a mile from the village on Monday last. Mr. James Hammil was preparing to unhitch his team at the barn when they took fright and started off. He endeavored to hold them by tue heads but was knocked down and both horses and waggon ran over him. Dr. McGul- lough was called and pronounced his fextemal injuries a broken rib, a severe wound on the head, and several bruises. How far he may be injured internally is not yet known. We hope he may make favorable progress under the doctor's skilful treatment.
