AT THE BEACH.

AT THE BEACH.
Three heavy rain storms during tn.
week, have made our farmers who have
not finished haying feel very blue.
! The Colorado beetle hssi got fairly to
work on the potato vines when the blight
| finished the work and left the patches
black, as If severe frost had struck them.
The time for wild small fruit is fast
drawing TO close, and we have had q
bountiful supply. Our good housewives
| have improved the time and put by large
| quantities for winter use. Apples in our
orchards are plentiful.
We have good bay fishing this season,
and not far to go to secure good fares.
Msckerel are in the bay and rivers. Visit
ors as well as natives-as they some
times call the dwellers hereabouts-
have had lots of fun in catching these
delicious fishes.
The ice-houses of both companies have
been emptied, and shipped to their ports
of destination. The success of this new
industry has been such as to warrant its
continuance In the future on a larger scale
The pure water of Blunt's Pond, which is
entirely fed by springs, yields 3 purer ice
than that cut on rivers and commands a
higher price.
Workmen are busy in putting tasty
and durable fence around the cemetery,
which will be finished before the season
closes. The success of this needed work
is the result of the Ladies Aid Society
The Kings Daughters" will soon have
sufficient funds to finish the renovation of
the interior of the church and furnish
pulpit furniture, sofa, chairs, etc. The
new ami appropriate desk, the workman
ship of one of our citizens, would give
great credit to any cabinet maker.

a great benefit the steam ferry is to the

shorter that daily blackboard excursions

vilion; elegant carriages, cutnnders, buck

Mr. Edward Savoy, manager OF the
Pavilion. Hotel and Cafe is admitted to be
"A No. /" in his position, and the many
