All the stores were closed. The only
local event was the picnic in Mr.. Battell's
grove, under the auspices of the Catholic
society, which was well attended. Many
went to Lake Duumore for the day and
some to Burlington to see the races.
Tenement houses of any description,
desirable or otherwise, are scarce. Indi-
cations point to a considerable develop
ment of the village in the near future,
and those who have land for sites and
money wherewith to build might do
worse than supply this need of the COM
munity.
The express office is for the present in
the real of Mr.. Riders drug store. 1t is

charge of that part of the business under
Mr.. Marshall, drives it.

Mr.. John l.. Barker of Brandon ha
done a handsome thing by the Methods
church of this village. He has trans
ferred to it, in consideration of a note o
$3.50, payable on or before three year
