Two of our yonn'.i ladies think they! should bo ele^ible as membcrr of the Pedestrian Club which your Cor. spoke of some weeks ago, as one walked to Eugenia and the other to Flesherton. Many have been thu witnesses of the pi Kir sidewalks in our valley and your , Cor. is among the number. The other eveuini; wliile walking down the street, he tripped on the end of a loose plank and was landed in the creek. He scrnmblud to the fence to collect his thoughts and while fitting there over heard the foHowing remarks : â€" " What is the Mayor of the u»wn doing tliat he does not attend to this sidewalk?" "Sdy, Bill, this here sidewalk rivals the school f- nee." "What is this? a board out? well, I reckon I'd make this township pay me a pretty sum if any accident should occur to me through these side- walks, eh, Doctor ?" " That hwkslike a wet moon, doesn't it Geerge ? " George's answer was not heard because of a groat I splash. At this juncture three young ' ladies came along humming their favorite, " sailing, sailing, sailing " but were forced to stop to "throw out the life inu" to save the struggling unfortunate, who had so suddenly disappeared. They succeeeded in rescuing their friend, and the party passed on. As the last click af their footsteps was heard your Cor. picked up the plank which had be- come displaced, replaced it and started on his homeward journny.

Old King Sol had hiU'dly shot his first ray across the eaetom sky last S.irurday morning ere a regiment of men and boys armed with poles and tin cans was seen wending its way towards the river. How- ever, the fiiniy tribes were on the alert for danger, as no great hauls were made by any one. Even the veteran D. faded to hook anything extraordinary. Arbor Day was celebrated in right royal style last Friday. Wo have one of the largest, neale.staiid pleasantest school yards in the county of Grey. The boys and girls of our public school deeervo credit for the inleiest they uianifost in maUing the grounds and buildings neat and tidy. The annual meeting of the E. L. of C.

Mrs. Elizabeth Ludlow, relict of the lat<j Uichard Lud- low. She had outlived her allotted three score years and ten by eleven yesrs. Sizty-six of these were devoted to the service of her Lord and Master. Few Octogenarians have left a nobler monu- ment. Sixty six years of lailhfnl labor and aolf -sacrifice is a blessed privilege not accorded to m'lny. The dec<.'ased was only fourteen when she united with the Methodist church. From that timo un- til her dealh «ho was a consistent, active member, identified in the psiticilar church whei'o .she w.is a nieniber, with overythinu which in her judgment would advance and further the cause of Clirist. She was born in Ire4aud aod for thirPy years was a resident of Inistioge. Her husband died about four years ago. A family of two sons and four daughters mourn the loss of a now sainted mother. One of the sons resides at Potrolia, the other in Dundalk ; the daughters are Mre. Corbett, Creeinoro ; Mrs. Thomp- son, Mrs. Rutledge, Horniiig's Mills and one daughter who has resided with her.
