PPlHI^W^il .XfU.yMl,_4^ QUE CIVIC HOLIDAY. Wednesday was one of the most beautiful days of the season, and was duly recognized by our business men as a holiday. Some went picnicmg to Eugenia Falls in the morning, and others sought amusement and recrea- tion in various ways, but the chief at- traction of the day was the annual pic- nic of the united Sabbath Schools of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches, which was held during the afternoon in Mr. McDuffie's grove. The two echools met and marched to the grove where the company swelled until there were about 400 in attend- ance, over 800 of which were children and young people. The provision made in the shape of swings, games, c., was not near sufiScient for the occa- sion, yet all appeared to enjoy them- selves, and a very sociable and friend- ly time was spent. A detachment of "Knights of the Maple Leaf" put in an appearance about 4 o'clock, dressed in lull regalia, and very soon added several members to their band. The provision for the inner man was abund- ant and of a superior quality, also lemonade in abundance. All passed off most harmonious and successful. The Brass Band played a few choice selections on the street in the after- noon. IHeatord Road. From our ovn Qorrespondent. Mr. W. Badger, who formerly tanght school here, and is at present living in Mani- toba, paid a flying visit to this place last week. He looks as young and fresh as ever. The members of the Wesley Church are going to get it painted and fixed up generally. It is about time that snoh improvements were made. Messrs. Boss and Sparling are out on the war path with their steam thresher. Mr. W. Gilbert's house had a narrow es- cape from being burned last weelt. The roof canght fire, but with a few applications of water by Mrs. Gilbert it was put out before much damage was done. The brick layers are busy erecting a house for Mr, Carson. Messrs. Warling Brodie are building a new house. for Mrs. Foley. The iarmers are busy with their harvest, some of them being pretty well along with it. Notwithstanding the extreme dry season that we have had the prospects are good. Mr. D. Walker says that he has two fields of peas that '^nnot be beat. Osprey. Notice. â€" ^We wish it distinctly understood ^hat we do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by oar correspondents To the Editor of the Standard. Deab Sib. â€" As there is a good deal •of grumbling, and some very uncomp- limentary remarks made about the village road work, and how it was ^done, or not done; would it not be VI ell for the pathmasters to give a detailed statement of Aoir and when and tchsre it was performed. Moke Light (From our Osprey correspondent.) Fine harvest weather with fair average crops. A stable was raised at B. Y. Burk's on Friday, size 25 x 40, with the usual amount of shouting and lifting. The hop at night was enjoyed by the young folks. Mr. A. Herron's shingle factory was burned on Thursday night or rather on Friday morn- ing. A quantityof shingles, ajgrain chopper, and traction engine were consumed. Mr. A. McGirr, Feversham, has sold out to John McAleer of Eugenia. Mr. Henry Hudson, jr., lost a valuable mare on Thursday. The Standard i« much sought after in Feyersham on Friday evenings now. Every one expects to see their name in it and find out the latest ne^s. We don't know whether the "Butcher Girl" has changed hands this week or not. Most likely she will as she is a rare beast and sportsmen are plentiful in town. What has happened "Phiz?" He and Bridget must hi.ve died, as he is never heard from now at all. T. L. B. Hamlin is visiting friends in Maxwell just now. Any other person whose name is not here and should have bsen, will excuse your cor. as I am in a hurry just now, and I will men- tion them again.
