An exchange unfeelingly remarks:
"The small boy will soon be holding
himself together at the equator in &C
Acknowledgement of the subtle power OF
the green apple"
1t is better to begin haying too early
than too late, as hay cut while green,
if properly cured, is worth twice as
much for stock as that which is cut
after it has gone to seed.
Owing to the arrival of the Portland

post Office will be closed at $40 P. NJ.
until further notice.

ANOTHER GRATIFYING INCREASE
The Grand Trunk traffic receipts for
the week ending 10th June show the
handsome increase of $51 ,O42 over the
corresponding figures of the preceding
year. Adding the River du Loup re-
oeipts, which arc included in 1879 but
not in 1880 the weeks increase is $55,
242. The aggregate increase for
twenty-five weeks Is $815,53S.
We hope that the night before the
Fifth of July will be made a time of
quiet. 1t has q double claim to the
blessing of silence, this year, as it will
be Sunday night, and therefore
should have a Sabbath's stiffness.

rise on the day of celebration.
