BRIMFIELD.

N'''eNf'"""e"tS
This hot, rainy weather is the means
OF pushing along the crops. Oats
never looked more promising, and the
corn is growing rapidly potatoes have
thus far escaped the ravages Of The
bugs. The wheat crop is far better
than was at first aDtici pated, some
fields promise to be more than an av-
Srage.
Leavitts Swiss Bell Ringers played
to full house, at the Town Hall in
this place, on Thursday evening last
All were well pleased with the enter
tainment.
The School Picnic held in the grove
south OF the Center, last Saturday, was
very pleasant affair. Three districts
united, making about 60 children the
Center district, taught by Miss Mamie
Roger; the South district, by Miss
Jennie Thomas, and the Southwest
district, by Miss Martha Moulton.
The exercises of the day commenced
with essays and declamations by the
pupils. followed by class exercise
conducted by Miss Mamie Royer.--
The children performed their part
well. The exercises closed with q
well spread table, loaded with good
things, as may be we'll known to those
who have ever had the pleasure OF
te .stisg with the good people of Brim-

The 0rapge Pic Mic AT Palmyra

The pic mic held at Palmyra on the
18th inst. by the Oranges of Edin-
burgh, Deerfield, Milton and PALMYRA
was, notwithstanding the threatening
aspect of the weather, largely attend
ed. AT all early hour the Palmyra
Grange assembled in Esquire Stevens
grove to be ready to receive the COM
pany. Soon after the procession from
Edinburgh were seen approaching
town. They were met just outside ct
the village by Marshall Morgan and
the Palmyra SILVER COrnet Band and
escorted to the south part OF the town
where they were met by the process
sion from Deertield. The two process
sions were here formed into one, and
conducted TO the. grove. A delega-
tiOn from the Ravcnna Grange, accom-
panied by the orator of the day, j. w.
Ogden. Esq, was the next to arrive.
Soon after came the procession from
Milton, and for some time afterward
people came e.pouring III from all direc-
tisBs. Berlin and Shutdown q Granges
were also represented.
At about IL O'Clock the audience
was called to order by the president
of the day, Smith Sanford, Esq, OF
Edinburgh, and after music by the
Band, the opening song by the audi
ence, and prayer by Rev. .LinusRogers,
chaplain ofsOlive Branch Grange, the
speaker commenced. shall not at
tempt to give even a synopsis of Mr..
Ogdcn's address. Suffice it TO say that
it was sound off-hand speech, full of
information as 10 what are the aims
and objects of the order of Patrons Of
Husbrndry. .... s
After the address came the dinner,
and if ever crowd OF people did jus
tice to an occasion it was then. The
piles Of provision: spread upon the
ground was 4 good Indication of re-
turing prosperity in our community.
As 1 had expected another to make
a report of the proceedings OF the day.
/ am not prepared to give the pro-
graDme in full, but will close the ac-
count by saying that the afternoon
was spent in short addresses. singing
by the different Oranges accompanied
by an organ, and music by the Band.
Upon the whole the day was one long
to be remembered by those in attend
ance, as not thing occurred during
the day to cause jar in the proceed
ings. Each Grange had an assistant
Marshall, aud each performed his du-
ty admirably. l cannot well refrain
from saying word for our Silver
Cornet Band. This Band was organ
lied little over q year ago by Prof.
French, of Edinburgh, and has been
under his leadership since that time.
and is now all institution that can do
Justice TO any party who has need for
