Mr.. d. Morse has gone to Boston.

resume her regular trips for the season
the latter part of next week.
The new walk is now completed,
whereat the citizens and school chill
dren greatly rejoice. 1t is somewhat
stronger structure than the one recent
" blown down, but is not covered in
as the old one was.
DIR. Chas Raymond, dental surgeon,
is now located at the Stewart House,
and is meeting with liberal patron
age. We would advise all who are in
need of his services to make an early
appointment, as his time here is limit
ed and he has a large numbewof appli-
cations to attend to.
We learn on good authority that a
train load of between 400 and 500
Greenbackers will pass through here on
Saturday en- route for Chicago, to nomi
nate paper candidate for the Presi-
dency. Good! Sling out your green
backs gentlemen as you pass through
our beautiful village, we want hat
full.
Mrs. Mason has just received a sele ct
and varied assortment of new millinery
goods. Very fine Leghorn hats only
80 cents; Canton Braid hats only As
cents; and fine English Braid hats
from 81 and upwards. Ladies desiring
millinery goods of any description will
do we'll to call early and examine the
new stock.
We suggest that those editors who
are in the habit of copying our locals
without giving credit, send in and get
advance slips of them, in order that
they may appear in their publications
the same week that they do in the
HERALD. 1t has a decidedly bad look
for local matter to appear in a paper,
as original, week after being printed
in a contemporary, and besides, such
items lose their freshness when they
are week old.
Our attention was recently called to
the case of draft horse, drawing a
heavy load up sandy hill. The poor
beast was restrained from anything
like free and natural motion, by a
tight check-rein which kept the brute's
head in a most painful position and
gave him far less power than he nat
urally had for his work. The use of
these tight check-reins on horses ought
to be condemned by all thinking men.
They remain as a relic of the tiale
when horses were used only for war,
and when plumes and high head
dress were set upon the horse to give
him an imposing appearance.
The Guy Family, who are to occupy
Warmers Hall this Thursday evening
in one of their mirth-provoking enter
tainments require no putting, for the
simple announcement OF their appear
ance here will be enough to cause the
hall to be crowded. This celebrated
family gives an exhibition that is of a
very high standard, their programme
is racy and fresh, and one devoid of
all vulgarity. The press is unanimous
in giving testimony to the marvellous
excellence of the chara cterizations of
this renowned family in opera, comedy
and farce. Fun for every one that
goes. Admission 2J and IS cents !;
children Is cents.
HYMENEAL. Mr.. Chas. NJ. Dyer was
joined in the holy bands of matrimony
last Saturday evening at Christ Church
to Miss Ellen L. McGivern, the Rev.
Louis A. Arthur officiating. Besides
other friends of the parties, the choir
were in attendance and rendered APP
propriate music for tue occasion, Miss
Eolia Morse presiding at the organ.
| AT the conclusion of the ceremonies,
after the groom and his fair bride had
been heartily congratulated. the happy
couple started for Montreal on their
wedding tour. May the bright, beau
tiful day which witnessed their union,
be the harbinger of long and happy
journey through life.
A MARROW ESCAPE. On Saturday
last as Mr.. II. Il. Ames was engaged in
splitting boards at Geo. II. Fitzgerald S
mill, using the splitter saw, board
that was being split got slightly
pinched and flew backwards, striking
the end of the mill, distance of about
20 feet, going clear through it, landing
some ~ feet thercfrom against a heavy
post, indenting the latter nearly an
inch in depth. Mr.. Ames had just let
go of the board when the nishap oc-
Cured, his hands still remaining in the
position as if guiding the board to the
saw, and the board in flying back
passed right between them, grazing his
wrists. The flight of the board was
so rapid that NJ. Ames imagined at first
1t was but splinter, but soon realized
what marvellous and providential
escape he had had from instant death.
Mr.. Elitor:-A paragraph in your last
issue saws that "air Stacked lime sprink-
led on currant bushes will rid them of
the currant worm" This must be the
theory of some scientist. AS theory,
it is like many others-well enough.
