Plutsmerario.s.—At the monthly meeting f the
members of the Farmer's Club, held at the Itqsl Oak
lan, on the sth December, the Chairman presented Mr.
and Mrs. Marsh, the worthy Host and Hostess, with a
handsome Cluistmaa present, raised by subscriptions
amongst the members of the chili as a token of their
regard toward* them on account of their g.,reeahle and
pleasing manner in entleavoering to make the membergas
comfortable as possible on every occassion.
Is coneamence of the late heavy rains, the springs are
higher in this village than has been known for this 24
years. The road leading to Milt San Abbas, is flooded for •
considerable distance, and pedestrians have to croft She
fields to reach the village. Some of the cottages are sur-
rounded with water, Axel the gardens are flooded. A
rather amusing incident has occurred in this village, in
consequence of the high water. The wits of an agricultural
labourer, who gees out to work at dressmaking ws•
wanted to make some ball dresses for the daughters of •
fertile% where she has often been employed. The road to
the farm being flooded, the fernier sent his groont with
cart to fetch the dreasmaker. tin seeing the cart this
lofty lade refused to go in such • conveyance. The
" idea" she said .4 tousling a cart, after het, if they ceild
not sent ronveyance, she was not going.
The groom mho net with the la ly's tro-,..a4e, got was sent
the assmnd time requesting her to go as it was S't•TV urgont,
lout she still refused and the groom returnel without her.
The y one ladies had to seek another dresamaker. No
doubt the lahoureeg wife, although not permitt.l to appear
at the 101 l n.otti, thought she ought to have been
ammo inodated with a carriage and pair to take her to the
farm, to prepare the young ladies dresses for the ~ccassion.
