to the grief which none can understand

Our attention has been called of late to

and yet the leather binding is as firm as
ever, apparently. Who can measure the

its power and influence, and the owner

Our band boys, few evenings since,
visited the Infrmary. DOUBTLESS they
contributed not a little to the happiness
of the inmates, as music fills the souls of
the many, regardless of state or condition,
and it is wholesome philanthropy on the
part of our boys 10 awaken the dormant
yet answering echoes IN the chambers OF
their souls-as these boys can do IT. Since
the celebration at the Harbor on the 9Th,
where the music of our band contributed
to the enjoyment of the many, especially
from the South towns, we have felt, from
the many criticisms bestowed on others,
that our boys were too much mixed up

when We see them doing their level best
to dignity and cheer the occasion and
people by their excellent music, we feel
like we were the forlorn hope, after all.

glad now, though late, TO remember

The road between Kingsville and the
station, though narrow, is well thrown
up. as is required through portion of
THAT stretch, is smooth and very pleasant

A ride along the ridges, East, to Kings
vile, shows what the corn crop is doing
in some cases at least We noticed some
of the rankest and strongest pieces we
have seen-any year, and as it is topping
out, usually forward. Mr.. George Green,
on the South Ridge, and Mr.. F. E. Wat
rous. on the North, have pieces that could
hardly be beaten in any season. One
hundred bushels an acre is expected by
the first named gentleman.
The North Kingsville mill, is putting
IN new flume and race, which throws
things into little confusion on the road
between the mill and pond.
The hamlet OF North Kingsville has
one attraction which no other in this vi
cinity enjoys-an extensive, sweeping
view ofthe lake, that has an agreeable
effect upon the beholder.
Mr.. A. B. Luce, of Kingsville, appears
to he in the enjoyment of about the
whole of the dry goods trade of Kings
vile. Realizing the full responsibility
OF this situation, his stock is large and
general, and the people resort to his es-
tablishmeGt as the place where almost
every want is TO be met, and the relation
of general factor and benefactor are so
blen ded-that of friend and neighbor so
matter-of-fact, familiar and confident, as
almost to make one envy the position |
and happiness of neighborhood mer-
chant thus living in he enjoyment of the
kindly regards and grateful patronage of
all his acquaintanees. Well. if there is
anybody in the world worthy of such a
position, 1t is our opinion that Luce is
the man. May his rewards be in some
thing the measure of his merits.
