MARKDALE, JULY 5, 1888 DOMINION DAY. kud enlivened proceedings by seleo- tions, end altogether it was one of the best garden partjys yet giyen. Fro- eeeds $89.40. The 1st of Jaly falling on Sunday, the following day was observed as a holiday, and as there was no public celebration at home our citizens be- took themselves in companies of from two to a score or more bent on a day's jollification and went in various direc- tions, leaving the village sadly desert- ed. The weather was dehgbtful, tho' the roads were very dusty, and the outing was doubtless much enjoyed by each and all. A very pleasant and sociable day was spent by a happy company at Bell's Lake. There was Msh enough in the party to supply wit youth to give it vivacity and age to season with gravity. When Markdale assumes civic proportions, when a few of difficulties our winters are growing nature's freaks are overcome by art, J severe, or rather we are acqairin(r means and cakada attains heb hajobttt. We oogfat to bd pnmd of oar coontiy. It is great in extent, rieh in nstnral resoaroes, attractiye to the immigrant, inhabited by a free, a happy and a prosperons people. We tonch three oceans and border on a great and mighty nation that is well disposed to- wards OS, and equally interested with ns in the maintenance of peace on this Ctmtinent, the avoidence of war and the support of an army and navy for police pnrposes on^. Europe is a vast armed camp eveiy man a soldier women forced to do the work in the field while the husband and son are wasting their time and energy in barracks and on parade grounds. We do not always appre- ciate the blessing, the inestimable blessmg of peace like that which reigns throughout America. We have good laws, well ad- ministered. Oar courts are pure and on the whole just in their verdicts. Religion is free and opinion untrammeled. Our climate is wholesome and conductive to the growth of a healthy, thrifty and hardy race.- Science and invention are fast overcoming our natural when the mosquitoes and sun-fish re fuse to bite, Bell's Lake will undoubt- edly become our pleasure resort. The short drive, too, over the corduroy, to a philosopher, has its bright sides our John, however, though one horse did get there a few minutes belore the otber one did, was remarkably skilful with the reins he accomplished the feat of throwing the rig around on the road without requiring the fence to be removed. If his fneuds wish any further information respecting his abilities in this line we respectfully refer them to the Eeeve. Tho day was however thoroughly enjoyed in cruis- ing about the lake in Moffat's pleasure yacht. A goodly number attended the pic- nic under the auspices of the I. 0. G. T. to Kimberley. For real gorgeous sight- seeing in the shape of mountain and glen, landscape and rocks, this district is unsurpassed if equalled in Ontario. The company had a pleasant drive, ate a hearty picnic dinner in a beautiful grove in the suburbs of this romantic and cosy village, after which 1 nearly all struck out for the top of the rock on the east which is about one and a half miles distant and five hun- dred feet higher than the bed of the river at Kimberley. After an hour and a half exhaustive toil climbing over craggy rocks, through thick and brushy forest, and battling with the mynads of mosquitoes the ascent was accomplished and the summit reached; here the fatigued pleaRure-eeekers were more than rewarded for their pains on reaching the pinnacle in the grandeur of the scenery. The valley winding about north and south with farm houses, cultivated fields and an occasional piece of wooded land, the mountain side clothed in rich foliage, the blue waters of the Georgian Bay on the north-east and the precipice in front, being a perpendicular decent ot several hundred feet; altogethdr the view was enchanting, invigorating and elevating ti) the mind. Tlie party re- turned home safe and sound, weary and yet pleased with their day's ex- periences to dream the following night of the wonders and beauties of the works of nature. Another jovial company took in Eu- genia, and we are informed they too were successful in having their cup of enjoyment filled to the brim. Their trip is said to have abounded with aniusiug and interesting incidents quite too numerous to mention. Their gratification -^^as satisfied in the thrill- ing views of landscape mountain and glen as seen from the mountain at Kimberley and a'so the renowned Eugenia Falls. The home trip was made pleasant and amusing by the antics of certain members of the com pany, all returning pleased with their trip and glad they had cone methods that are steadily reducing their severity good roads, railways everywhere • splendid canals and a creditable inland mar- ine. Look at our whole system of education colleges for the traimng of our doctors, ministers, teachers, dinggists, schools of art, of veterinary science, of agriculture. Most of these things obtained within the past twenty-one vears, within the memory of all. What shall it be twenty-one years hence Oreater by far than you or I dare prophesy. We shall be mighty, prosperous, and let us hope most of all strong in what constitutes true national greatness. Do you then as Canadians young and old. man and woman, think well of this our country. Teach your children to h6nor their own country, to be proud of it, to main- tain its freedom, iis pnvileges and its good name. Teach them that there is no land like our land and no skies like ours. Teach them to be true to theii- country and proud that they are Canadians. And if we ought to think well of our country we ought still more to think well of I our forefathers from whom wo derived all I the blessings of peace and good government I that we enjoy, and who gained in one generation and another all these glorious rights and privileges that we hold dear. We venerate the memory of our forefathers who in the old land struggled for us and be- queathed us a heritage of freedom, a wealth of literature, and traditions that are the glory ofusaU. We can never repay them for what they have done foi us. But we can at least nand down the trust we got from them to oar 3hildren unimpaired, and let us hope somewhat improyed. And if we pay a word of respect to the memory of our ancestors across sea, whether English, Irish or Scotch, still more ought we to venerate the memory of our forefathers who came a weary voyage across the ocean, toDed up the St. Lawrence, or came long distances from the colonies to the south of us, and, takiug their way through the wilderness, settled ia the bush cleared the land, built houses for themselves, •started their little churches, and their schools and finally left us the smiling country that we see around us. A.nd Jlot only did thev clear the land for us. but they secured and vindicated for us and for themselves great political priyileges. They now lie at rest beneath the sod the graves of many of them we do not even know but their work is an imperishable monument, and as times lengthens so will their renown, and poets yet unborn wiU sing the glories and the peaceful deeds of our iirst settlers and theu- settle- ments. And if we ought to be proud of our country and venerate the memory of our ancestors, we ought also to respect, to cherish, our women. We cannot do too much for our wives, our daughters and oar mothers. They are, perhaps, the weaker sex but as someone has finely observed, they are the frail vessels that bear the stream of humanity frcm geneiatipn to generation.
