Some farmers have planted considerable corn over, owing either to poor seed or to worms. Some fields are now being cultivated and the crop looks promising. A sufficient sum of money has been raised for the church carpet and the ladies have a committee appointed to secure the carpet soon. We forgot to mention last week the visit of Mr. Hamilton, of Vermont at his cousin's Mrs. Matthews. Sheep-shearing is now well advanced.
Some farmers are all through.
Mrs. George Strang and Mrs. Pantall expect boarders next week. Hughes and Son are now busy on the barn at Mr. Peter Stewarts. Mr. Wright plasters for Dr. Tombaugh. Mrs. Tenings is quite sick with fever at Dr. Taylor's. This is the third week the fever has been running.
