COLLEGE STREET.

Our quiet neighborhood was somewhat agitated, last Wednesday afternoon,by the report that there had been wedding in our immediate vicinity, and after consid- erable gossip the truth of the matter prov ed that our friend MT. Richard Thompson was married to Miss Mary Pendleton. We wish them long and happy life and may they catch many woodchucks and have lots of chickens and other poultry to feed.
 Rev. D. F. Chapman has. we hear, resigned, and closes his labors here July 11th.
 The Cornwall Band of Hope had their annual picnic at Bantam Lake on Thurs day of last week. About dozen teams started out, reaching their destination at noon. After boating and social chat for a time they had good dinner in the grove, then there was a little more boating, and, at about 5 p. m the party started for home, many taking the village of Litch- field on their way.
 The recent frost nearly spoiled the gardens in this vicinity, but corn will sur vive 1t, and is looking we'll in most places.
 MT. H. H. Guild is now at work in and has charge of MT. Kellogg's saw mill near the "Pines," Cornwall.
 On Saturday, the 18th, the friends of Mir. and Mrs Josiah Jennings met at MT. Jennings for the purpose of celebrating the 53d anniversary of their married life, to present them with few tokens of re- spect. and, last but not least, to hold a sort of picnic. There were about one hundred and thirty present, more rather than less. When the tables were in order, MT. and Mrs. Jennings were seated at ore at the head of which was stand where were placed the presents. Rev. George J. Harrison was chosen to make the pre- sentation addresses. The first article pre- sented was bedquilt with the names of those who had furnished them affixed to their respective blocks. Next came a piece of calico which WIS said to be a dress pattern. MT. Harrison here remark ed that in the Golden times" eleven yards were considered sufficient for dress, but he had discovered now that 1t took twen- ty two or three yards for the same pur- pose. Handing it to Mrs. J., he said, 1T trust you will find in this the required quantity of eleven yards. Ten may do." After this came another dress, 6 pair of slippers, a sun bonnet, handkerchiefs, ,and a riddle, all with appropriate remarks. Rev. D. F. Chapman made the reply. Rev. Hiram Stone then did little 'chink- ing" after which he asked blessing, and all enjoyed bountiful repast. It was a very pleasant affair and we trust cheered the kindly hearts of MT. and Mrs. Jen- nings as 1t was intended to do.
 T have no doubt but I could pro- nounce that sentence for "Jeffo" should make the attempt, but think all the ''plums" that grow this season will un- doubtedly be procured without my assist ance, so will not make the attempt.

At the Town Hall, on Wednesday eve- ming, the 16th inst, strawberry festival. with suitable accompaniments was held under the auspices of the ''Ladies Aid Society, of St. Peters parish. The evening was delightful and although the attend ance was no more than ordinarily large, those present appeared to be literally disposed, and seemed to enjoy themselves to large extent. The affair passed off tremendously, as festivals always should. The amount raised, ''free from all encum- branee whatsoever," exceeded one hun- dred dollars.
 Some one enquired of ''Uncle Ei"-the old clock Terry, ,rwhen is the best time to paint?' "When you get ready, and get good stuff" was the blunt reply. PLYMoUTHEAN.

nud the calls upon them hare nearly
doubled with each succeeding year. The
production Of 1B12 WAS scarcely 10 per cent OF

manufactured articlcA and manufacturing pro-
cesses far exceeded that Of the year previous.
Tho agricultural andiron-machnery departments
we're tho moat noticeable features OF the display,
despite the depression Of tho la4t-named branch
OF industry.
Leaving the fno arts out of the account, there
Wero GIG exhibitors OF manufactured 4rticleH
represented, agsinat 713 the previous year. But
although the number Of exhibitors WAS some.
What smaller than last, the variety and useful
ness Of the display was far in e1cess OF the pre-
yious attsmrt
THE DISPLAY F1oM ABROAD
was quite extensive, New York, Boston, phila-
adolphis. and other principal cities Ia tho United
States being ably represented. Dus tue great
bulk of the thousand aud one objects which
wore On exhibition we're the products of our own
manufacturer.
Tie principal aim OF the Exposition managers
next year will be to induce as large number OF
exhibitors a. possible ito perform the manufao-
turing processes in yiew Of tha visitor tnducting
him Into the secrets OF the mechanical arts by
practically illustrating how
THE aAw MATERIAL
IL converted Into a marketable commodity. This
Mas partially effected last September, but owing
to she ahort notice With which aomo Of tho OK
hibitors were served, and the misunderstanding
which naturally ocoue in tha management Of =
new enterprise, q full oorpa Of workmsn could
not be obtained.
