Miss Cora Carpenter, by her presence
Of mind and GOODNESS, recently averted
what might have been a sad cata.-
trophe. She was riding down the hill
near Mr.. lIouston's when the holdbacx
broke, letting the wagon on to the
horse, which at once began to kick.
Cora held her seat firmly, piled the
whip TO the horse and landed safely at
the bottom of the hill, no damage being
done.
I. Much damage has been done by the
fires in this vicinity. Large tracts of
woodland have been burned over,
leaving only a burnt and blackened
waste. On Wednesday of last week, a
house belonging to Mr.. Chas. Damon,
but unoccupied, was burned, with 100
sap buckets belonging to Lewis Jones.
1t is supposed to have caught from Il
falling cinder, from the heavy fires in
the woods. Mr.. Jno. McGinnis came
near losing his buildings, but willing
hands and plenty of water saved them
from the devouring elements. Friday
night we had some rain which helped
TO extinguish the fire considerably.

We have all got beets on the brain
just now. The common form of salu-
tation is shows beets p We will
probably all be wealthy by another
fall.
Having received an invitation from
the Rev. Mr.. Arthur, by the Rev. Mr..
Stevens Of this place, TO attend a Sun
day School picnic on Thursday of last
week, determined to avail myself of
the opportunity and visit Island Pond,
and see how things looked south of
forty-five. Accordingly we left this
place little before five in the morning
and arrived at our destination in due
season. The morning being rather
foggy, l could scarcely see my surround
ings, and the first thing | was intro
duced to was such getting up stairs
as had not seen for some time. 1t
struck me that it must be a great coun-
try for lumber, where it was cheaper to
build bridges in the air than to go on
the ground. Those bridges would
never do for place like Canada, where
whiskey is cheap, or like Paris where
about every second man you meet is
on the lookout for convenient place
to commit suicide. However, having a
steady guide got over all right except
a little tired about the knees, and
landed at the Island Pond House in
safety. Being introduced to the genial
Landlord, and partaking of one of his
first class breakfasts for which the
house is famous, and after resting a
while, we proceeded under the escort
of the Rev. Mr.. Arthur to view the
'burgh." The scenery from the tower
of the new hotel is very fine. 1t re-
minded me of the descriptions of some
places in Switzerland, only the noun
tains in the background are not quite
so high. The island looks like a per-
feet gem. l would suggest that it be
named Alcatraz, as it resembles one by
that name in the bay of San Francisco.
Well, after dinner came the business of
the day, a ride on the steamer "Magic''
and the picnic. AT the appointed time
the scholars met at the Guild Room of
Christ Church and marched in process
sion to the boat. They presented a
very fine appearance marching through
the streets under the charge of their
respective teachers They then steamed
across the pond to a grove, where the
fun commenced. The children seemed
to have a splendid time with Mr..
Arthur as leader, who seems to have q
happy faculty of pleasing the little
ones. Towards evening very nice
supper was spread on snowy table
cloths, which was we'll patronized.
Finally about 6 o'clock we all returned
to town, highly pleased with the after
Moons entertainment. At a quarter
past ten we started for home, happy to
meet my new made friends, sorry to
part, and hoping to meet again.

1t is said that Vermont stands at the

Maine is less than 40; in New Hamp,

10; in Connecticut, about % and in

succeeded in stripping one-half of the
