Osprey From our oini Currfspoitdnt. The recent rains and warm weather have greatly improved the appearance of the crops, and so with a bright eye and elastic step the fanner gathers in the sweet scrnted hay. Robt. Burk, Esq., has returned to the parental roof after a visit to his many friends in Bulfalo. Many people of this vicinity celebrated the 12th of July at Feversham.

Now, boys, own up to the truth, 2 to 2 was the referee's decision which everyone thought was fair, time one hour. Our boys think if it had of been one hour and n half as Corbetton reported the result would of been more favorable to the Maxwell team. Business is booming at the Osprey cheese factory. Our young people werb busily engaged Friday evening attending parties, (me being at Mr. Joseph Clinton's. 4tb line, the other at Mr. Albert Thompson's, Artemeaia. A good time was reported at each.

I understand there is soon to be organized a Ladies' True Blue lodge here, under the name of the Victoria Lady True Blues uf Eu;{enia. Mr. Marcon, of the hoop and veuce.- factory, was up from Toronto the past week to meet Mr. PatterSBn, of Blantyre. who is thinking of buying the factory.

The object was to gather orange lilies for the 12th, but it seems that lilies are scarce in these parts. Our old friend. Bicyclist McArthur, while visiting some of his friends in the Grove recently, left his wheel outside, and on his reappearing to start for home he found that Danny's plymoulh rock roostsr bad eaten two holes in the tire, and a hhortage of wind was the inevitable result. Mr. Duncan Baxter has last a fine brood nmre, which will be a severe blow to him now, ss haying is coming on. Mi88 Sarah Morrow of Proton Station visited the old homestead on Sunday. The welcome rain of Sunday morning has cooled tlie atmosphere ami settled the dust. The root crop is also inipruvc4 thereby. The ffonry Bros, can boast of the best field of roots ever .seen in the Urovo. Misses Mary and Bella Campbell of Rochester, N.T., are at pret>dnt enliven- ing the old home with their pleasant countenances aud bright and happy smiles. C)n Wednesday of last week a number of the young people of the Grove could be seen wenJiug their way to the Presby- terian picnic with ladened baskets. All came away thinking they had a very pleasant afternoon's enjoyment. This mouth has been very hot, so far, the thernionietor hovering between 80 and 100 degrees in the shade during the days and nights also. Early one morning, before taking his departure for Manitoba, Mr. D. L. Sin- clair shipped in cold storage into the Grove a Whale, which will be a novelty and looked upon and admired by many in our roinst. Query Box â€" Where did Helen find the calves ? When is Roddio from the hills coming down again 1 Why did the |>ath- inaater of Maple Grove put the load of fine gravel near John's gate ? How does ])eU» like the Cleveland perambulator | Well, Mr. Editor, the 12th passed off quietly in Feversham. 11 o'clock thd Maxwell and R^b^ lodges arrived to celebrate the gl< battle of the Boyno. They maipsU the ball, where the colors were depi, and returned to do justice to Mf eh dinner provided by Mr. F. C. Brace Bro. H. Heitnian, some 450 persons, understand, taking dinner between thei^J two places. About 2 p.m. the procession inarched to Mr. Hudson's bpsh,. where the speaking was held. Excellent addresses were delivered by Revs, Hud- son and Legate and imr loyal Dr. Scott. So we may well say. Bravo Fsverslial Though laboring under cnnsidarabla dif- ficulties, caused by a few new members* of the Singhampton lodge, who declarfct) they would not come to Fevemham oit account ot thero being insufficient ho%l accommodation, but that did not " out any figure." We must give Dr. Ball considerable praise fnr the way in which ho canvassed the lodges against the rote of the district. Of course, as far as we can learn up to the time of writing, their hop^a wore blighted, as thoir crowd in Singhampton consisted only of 6adgero» and themselves. Sorry, indeed, for the Dr. and little Joe, not forgetting Mr. or " Curly " Brown, whose labors were in vain. Maxwell and Rob Roy turned out to a man, and we are proud to r"port that these two lodges acted strictly on prin- ciple. Howover, we would say that the two lodges who did not answer to thecal! of the district must bear in mind that there is a possibility of another 12th of July coming, and should they ever at- tempt any such game is that canvassing game, we would certainly advisn them to <'o and bury themselves iu an ash hespo the 11th of July and nut como out un( the 13th. In conclusion we would say that we had a grand day in Fefersharo and further, that ik was a credit to the Orangemen, as every peison returnetl home both satisfied and sober. TIMOTHY. iiti^ W. J.
