The West Saudgatc Sabbath School
hold their anaual picnic on Saturday the
"a inst, on the grounds Of Mr. George
Draper. There was quite large aitcnd-
uucc Of people, mostly from The west
part Of The town, aud The weather being
favorable everything seemed TO pass of
quite pleasantly, and children and teach
ers both enjoyed themselves as well as
Ian Others IN attendance. Addresses
were made BY ReveNr. Wood Of Rupert
ana 4. d. Kent, Esq, Of West Saudgate,
amer which the assemblage separated, MI
seeming wen pleased with the festivities
OF the day.
We arc glad to be able to record the
commencement Of long needed i'm
proyement in our town. For a number
Of years the burying ground near thc
church in this place has been almost en-.
tirely neglected, and the brush aud briars
had grown TO such an extent that il wa
with considerable difficulty that those
who visited the grounds could pass
through them. But things were not "a
remain ID this condition always a few
DAYS since some Of our citizens after 5
little consultation appointed day on
which to meet to commence this mucl
needed work Of improvement, and OF
Saturday the ID inst, quite number as
sembled in the afternoon, and WORKED
faithfully TO make this spot which j
the resting place Of those who were ncn
and dear to us, present more cheerful
appearance. And their labor was not il
vain, as the grounds to-day wear NOR
cheerful appearance than for long tim
before. Before the citizens separated OF
that day they appointed day on whicl
to meet again and make still further i'm
provements in the way Of q new fence
and wider and better carriage way I,
the grounds, and on Saturday the 81
inst. il is intended to meet in the NOR
ming and give day to this much needc'
work. There is another work needed Z
be done in this vicinity, and il Is th
making ola few repairs and rc-paintini
the church. We hope this matter vii
not be longer delayed, but that some 0
our citizens who are abundantly blesse
with this worlds goods will come fol
, ward and assist in this work, and there
by add, not only to the appearance of th
church, but to its preservation, and also
in reality, add to the value Of property i
/ this vicinity. We hope at no distant da
Z this matter will receive the attention o
those who can, if they will bring it to
> successful termination.
