The Mount Mansfield Excursion.

The excursion to Mount Mansfield, ON
Saturday, for the pupils and friends of the
Sauveur School was literally patronized,
the full number to which the party was
limited being present. The first part of
the trip, the journey by rail to Waterbury,
was accomplished without incident, at
9o'clock. AT that point the party was
placed in six coaches and driven to the
Mansfield house in two hours. The stages
were then exchanged for mountain wag-
ons and fresh horses, and the trip up the
mountain was accomplished in about three
hours more. After hasty dinner which had
evidently been hastily prepared-the party
climbed the "Nose" and got a brief glance
at the magnificent views obtainable from
that point The return was hastily made,
ana nothing occurred to mar the pleasure
of most delightful trip except slight ac-
cldent to one of the young ladies of the
party, whose ankle was run over by one
of the carriages and severely bruised.
