To-day was one of unusual gayety
in our usually quiet little village
The old gray haired sire; the no less
time-honored matron; the beauty
and chivalry just blooming into
maturity, and the lovely and limo
cent little child Qast though not least)
all joined together to make our Sab
bath school picnic a place Of pleas
ure to all, and right handsomely did
they succeed, for all went mer y ~
a marriage bell.
At IL o'clock our school and the
CORTLAND school with their beauti>
ful little banner, formed ut our school
room and marched through town,
headed by the united bands Of Pope
and Courtland Qor which We return
our thanks) to the grounds, where
all enjoyed themselves as best suited
them. As for ourselves, We enjoyed
hugely a game Of croqnet with orr
sweetheart until dinner, which
thanks to all conccrnedD was ample
and well conducted, every one seem
ing to enjoy it, getting abundance Of
cakes, pies and things. Ice cream
and lemonade was freely dispensed
by our energetic young friends,
Messrs. Collins, Pow and Deaton,
which was for the benefit of the
school. But all pleasures must have
its disappointments. About three
o'clock 1t began to thunder, and it
was soon inevitable that q rain was
near, which caused the assembly to
dispense ere our pleasures were halt
over. S. s. s.

A LITTLE three year old
daughter of John 81: Wyman,
who now resides near Pratts-
vile, had a narrow escape from
death last Sunday. She had
been out of the house some
ten minutes when her father
noticed her absence and went
out after her. Noticing an
old cupboard in which the
children had been. in the habit
of playing, lying on the ground,
he raised it up and found the
little one under it, one of the
shelves lying across her mouth
and slowly strangling her to
death. Proper restoratives
were applied, but it was more
than half an hour before she
was restored to consciousness,
and on Tuesday, when our in
formant gave US these facts,
she was still suffering consld-
cradle pain.

By a communication to the
School Trustees which We pub
lish elsewhere it will be seen
that it has become necessary
to add another room for the &C
commodation of the increased
number of pupils in our
schools. This viii! require the
furnishing of the room and a
consequent additional levy Of
tax. We learn that the Direc
tors will submit the question
to the voters this spring. 1t is
to be hoped that the tax will
be voted freely, as it will tend
to the greater efficiency OF the
schools. Ninety pupils, the
number in the first primary de.
partment, is too great for one
room.
