KESSEBUSK.
Another Of those enjoyable outdoor social
gatherings so common at this season Of the year,
came of last Thursday in a grove about equi-
distant from Kennebunk and Bddeford, on the
Camp Ground road. The annual picnics Of the
Unitarian Societies Of Kennebunk and SAGE,
which were united here were the cause Of the
gathering. There was large attendance from
Biddeford, Saco, and Keunebunk, besides, many
pleasant parties embraced the opportunity to
enjoy delightful drive from the beaches. The
spot for the picnic was well chosen, and We know
Of no prettier panorama, than was offered from
the road. The hill sloping upward, checkered
with groups frightened by pretty fees and
charming toilettes, with the leafy back ground,
and "thick roof Of green and stirring branches
alive and musical with birds" formed beautiful
tout ensemble. A smaller, but delightful picture
was afforded the admirer Of solidity rather than
sentiment, in the tables, which were .burdened
with every sort Of eatables, and which We must
say responded well to the ardent affection mani
tested for their contents BY oil and young.
The "time-killers" were many and varied.
Some engaged in dancing and various games
provided. while many enjoyed romantic strolls
among "old trees, tall oaks and gnsrled pines,
.Ihst stream with srsy.green MOSES,
Where the massy rocks themselves.
That lead from knoll 90 knoll cansy rude,
or bridge the sunksn brook. and their darn roots,

The party separated late In the afternoon after
voting to meet one year from that day In the
same place. We can safely predict pleasurable
time there, as the members Of the Unitarian
Societies Of both Kennebunk and Saco, are as 8
rule among the leaders Of society In the places.
and all their entertainments are sure to be
crowned with success.
BERWICK.
We learn from the Great Falls Journal that
concrete walks are being laid on both sides Of
the street from the bridge on Berwick side, to
the Post Office, and store Of G. 8. Blaisdell |;
that about thirty new dwellings, shops and
other buildings have been built in short time |;
that Mr.. j. X. Home has erected alarge steam
saw-mill, on land purchased Of Hon. s. W. Fox.
Mr.. W. +. Kicker Is finishing very tasty and
elegant residence, near his tannery. l.. r. Her
som & Co. have recently built large building
for tanning AMI manufacture Of sheep skins.
Tie shoe firm Of L. NJ. & ID. ii. Mute employ
thirty-fye hands In the shop, and many outside,
and send to market twenty-four hundred pairs
Of shoes per week.
The drouth which effects other parts Of the
county has not made this town an exception.
But the season for hsying was splendid and
probable no season ever saw better crop OF hay
put into barns than the present one. II will
not be as large as at some other times, but will
be Of excellent quality. The apple crop in this
section will be heavy potatoes and corn not up
to the average. The greater part Of the repub-
leans in this town are Disguised at the way John
