May Day DOings.

Last Tuesday was the first day of
May, and contrary to the popular
prophecy that it always rains on that
occasion, the sun rose clear and the day
was everything that could be desired in
the way of sunshine, warmth and gen.
eral pleasantness. The steamer Yam
COURIER, at the usual sailing hour, left the
dock with large number of passengers,
and with flags flying steered over her
daily course. At the head of Suavie's
Island she landed, and LOG persons, of
all ages, from two to fifty years, de-
barked on the grassy surface of this
really beautiful spot. The boat went
on to Portland and the epic nickers"
prepared to enjoy themselves in the
usual way. Croquet, grace hoops, fern
gathering and quiet strolls amused some,
and base ball, tag and noisy rollicking
was fun for others. The boat brought
them all home at five o'clock in the
evening, and although nothing unusual
occurred worth chronicling, all were
unanimous in saying 1--WE had good
time"
Mrs. Nicholson and family, Miss
LOOMS and few of their friends, spent

day had afforded.
The Garrison people organized a
picnic and went to Burnt Bridge Creek,
where they enjoyed the day with their
children. Their little people are a
handsome and happy clan, and the
number is sufficient to organize very
good Sunday School.

see that the nasty hole is filled up and
the cost taxed against the property. If
they have no authority, let it be so an
nounced and perhaps few public spirit.

something towards abating the nuisance.
Most OF our own people, no doubt, get
