Our merchants are vieing with each other to see who can give the best bar- gains in harvest tools for the heavy crops. See advertising columns. The fall of rain this week has beaten down some of the heavier crops through- out the country, and, though beneficial otherwise, will make the grain harder to harvest. " What‘s wrong ?

There IS not a house in the place but what is occupied. It is said some fofks are not yet satis- fied with the dollar’s worth they get in this newspaper. \Ve can only say, we regret it if such there be, as it is our earnest wish and desire that every one should get the full value for his money.

On §aturday last, the tenth anniversâ€" ary of the confederalion of the British American Provincee. was celebrated in an appropriate manner throughout the Dominion. The news from other sec- tions informs us that the drizzling rain was general throughout this Province, and that the ardor of the celebrators was somewhat dampened thereby in other neighborhoods as well as here. In this county an unusual number of pic-nics, festivals, bazaars, tea parties, anniver- saries, etc., were arranged for. and old and young were preparing for an enjoy- able day. Work with the farmers was not so pushing, the haying not being fairly commenced and the root crops all put in, and therel'm'e the day was gen- erally observed as a holiday among the farmers, who are generally too busy to take a holiday during the summer season. 'At On Saturday last, Dominion Day, an apron bazaar and strawberry festival was held in the Victoria Hall, 'l‘hol‘nhill, under the auspices of the Ladies" Aid Society, in connection with the' Metho- dist, Church of that place. Owing to unfavorable weather-the attendance was not- so large as could have been expected under other circumstances. The con cert given in the evening was. however, well patronized, and proved quite a suc cess. Mr. Josiah l’urkiss occupied the chair. and a select programme was exe cuted, several amateurs from Toronto having contributed. The musical por- tion was sustained by the Misses Reid, Aikins, Kyle, and Bradley, and Messrs. Switzer and Bowman in choruses; and solos were also rendered by the Misses Purkiss, Reid, Clarke and Atkins, and Messrs. Pitts, Switzcr and" Bowman. Mr. R.

About 400 people partookof the strawberries and cakes which had been prepared. Footâ€" ball, cricket and baseball were engaged in with hilarity. 'l'he Thornhill'Bi-ass Band was present, and rendered some excellent pieces of music. The com? mittee deserve great credit for conduct- ing the festival to a successful issue; after paying the heavy expenses incur- red they will have agood balance on hand. The entertainment in the even- ing, under the auspices of the Carrville Choir’, drew a well-filled house. .‘ The singing, reading and reeitations were of the highest order. In the absence of the Chairman Chosen for the evening, Mr. Wm. Cook presided, and reported at the close a "good shot in the locker.” l The races were ilargely attended on Dominion Day.
