The picnic to Bell's Lake last Fnday, un- der the auspices of the Masonic fratenuty of this TillaKe. was well patronized by the Ma- sons and their friends. There was a very large turnout from Pleaharton a good num- ber«f the brethren and their friends joined the company at Markdale. The day was very fayorable, just all that could be desired. The company, arriving at the lake, encounter- ed some Uttle difficulty and fatigue for the ladies in reachinj^ a wharf where the rand- some little steamboat (belonging to Moffat Broe. of Markdale) could land, the water m the lake having so Lowered that the I The new British Parliament will meet the 5th of August.

A Pinkerton Detective had been put on track, and attended their meeting previously. His testimony was a stunner for the ringleaders. â€" It has been decided to extend theC. P. K. from IngersoU to London. The extension is expected to be complete by the 1st January next. At the Reform Convention held last Saturday, Mr. B. Allen received the unanimous nomination for the Commons. A vote was taken for 5anndidate8 for the Local Legislature resulting in 66 votes for Mr. Alfred ±'ro8t of Owen Sound and 60 for Mr. Jas.

The conv- ention adjourned without deciding the matter. â€"The Crawford â€" Dilke divorce case which has been prominent in the English Courts, having been re-opened on the petition of Su: Charles Dilke in order that he might be given an opprtunity of proving his innocence, was concluded last week, and the for- mer decision confirmed.

To the Editor of the Standard. Dkab Sir.â€" '-One of the boys" evidently thinks he has "plaid" a strong card against your concert reporter, in the letter that ap- pears last week. He certainly knew who wrote the reportfor yon,else his rapid pro- duction would have been less personal, and more to the point of criticism I made. He etates that the concert was ably" reported and then follows with a denial, spying â€" "the reporter is a pretender, and ignominious fail- ure." The report was fairly given in every way, and no animus displayed to ward anyone, making it more of a success, than "one ol the boys" attempts to spell playei, three different times. So easy to look up the "big" words, but ignorant of words like "played" and ••piccolo." The boy fails to see that, music is not a thing for the eyes, but for the ears ther^ore, the tone, and not the horn is judged. You wonder I was misled by one of the horns, thinking it was a trombone ques- tion, how? By hearing a very discordant "•trombone" tone blown from a baritone horn, which is considered to be bad execution, especially in a hall. The march was played, bt^I admit that it was not at the time men- tioned. "One of the boys" can learn yet, and should aecept so slight a criticism for his profit, thus aiding, the whole organisation. If he wishes, your reporter will give him in- structions ftn the following points, he knows very little about, viz Instrumentation, at- tack, tone, hurmony, time and sight-re»ding. Charges moderate. Also orthography, it de- sired. If "one of the boys" does not improye his tone on the upper notes, he will ere long become a permanent imitation of the calliope he so argumentively refers to. I am thank- ful he refrained from being severe, and extend him my thanks for so pointedly refering to my several abilities when he evidences like characteristics at his future public perform- aiioes,if present, your com. will be glad to ex- tend pleasant reoognisitions of them. Trust- ing he will realize that his letter shows, that I have a parallel point against him, in that, this time he has "over-blown" himself. I remain. In Harmmy, â-  W. 'A.' Bbow could ever, after all had been taken on board anflsailed across the beautiful sheet of water aim had landed where a beautiful picnic grove was found and all had satisfied their keen appe- tites, the atiemoon was spent by all in a very happy manner, boating, sailing, Ac, to the entire satisfaction of all. Amonp those in- terested in making all feel happy and enjoy themselves, we could not help but notice the efforts of W. J. McFarland, Esq., of Mark- dale, and E. J, Sproule, of Flesherton, ready aad willing to go at everyone's bidding and do all in their power in the most pleasant manner to please all. We think all returned home well tired but pleased at having enjoyed so pleasant a lay in recreation. Dr. Chrifitoe preached m the Methodist church here on Sunday evening last. Not- withstanding some very unkind, and bitter words from one Norman Boyles, a simpleton, at the beginning of the service, the Dr. de- livered a very interesting discourse. It ap- pears poor Norman holds something in his heart against the Dr. whidi he cannot forgive. When the Dr. rose to open the service, poor Norman's conscientious scruples would not allow him to remain; putting on his hat, started for the door; on his way out, took some very bitter glances at the Dr. and nt tered some very unkind words however, he was soon outside and out of hearing, and no doubt went home feeling very dignant but rather justified that he had not violated conscience. The Dr. knew Norman too well to be at all discomfitted. Special Ordination services are announced for, to be held in the Presbyterian church here on 'abbath afternoon next the Ordination of the members elect to the Eldership in said church. Left fob the West, â€" After a pleasant holiday the Strain Bro's (Joseph and Herbert) sons of our most highly esteemed citizen, Wm. Strain, Esq., left here on Tuesday last for their respective places of -employment. Joseph retnrning to Atchison, Kansas, and Herbert to Pembina. Both young men haye the kindest wish'^s and love of all which was manifested durmg their short stay with us. Onr band serenaded them at their father's residence on the eve of their departure. A large number of our citizens held them- selves in readiness to witness the laci-osse match which was to have been played be- tween the iunior team of Markdale and Flesherton on the grounds of the latter on Tuesday afternoon last, but the visiting team failed to put in an appearance. Onr boys were all on hand in good time, had ordered a sumptuous dinner at A. Munshaw's palace hotel, and waited patiently the arriv al of visitors until the 4 p. m. mail arrived which conveyed, shalll say a note of apology, no, but an ScurrilOi^ letter couched in lang- uage such as could not have been dictated nor written by a gentleman.
