In this simple sketch of the sad re- sults and it may be some. of the bum- our-s of the liquor trul‘lic in this Village therc is no intention of “rounding the feelings or anyone.

All of these places sold whiskey. No place of on- tortainmcnt was furnished, no stock complete without it.For a base of sup-' ply a distillvry kept its fires going day and night in the hollow behind what is now known as Iunes’ that time. before the advent of the Northern Railway.

Judging from the notice in week’s “ Uanadian Gazette,” the pro- moters of the Kettle River Railway, who were beaten in their endeavors to secure a charter during the last Ses- sion, after one of the most persistent and elaborately organized lobbies of , I-ecent'years have not by any means throw up the sponge, for they adver- tise their intention to make fresh application fu ' a charter when parlia- ment re-assmnbles. This would ap- pear to negative the statement which received much crcdc-uce after the de- feai/of the bill that Mr. Uorbiu had sold out his interest to the (l. P. R.

' SLIGHTLY HYSTERICAL. Our friends in the other camp are getting slightly hysterical as they see the chances of capturing the Proviru cial government by a. legal technicality growing beautifully worsa.

The grounds were artistically illuminated with Chinese Lanterns. which in the darkness of the evening presented a. very picturesque scene. In the centre of the Lawn was constructed a. booth where all the Cool beverages and fruits of the season could be obtained. Here and there could be seen groups of two and four sitting around the tables en- joying the ice cream and cake which had been so abundantlyprepared by the ladies of the church, and great Credit is due, those young ladies who so eflicieutly served up these delicacies. One would think while watching those in charge of the booth that the season of hard time-R had passcd away. The Richmond Hill Brass Band Was in atâ€" tendance and discourse!)
