the free pbebs tho writer in company with the genial and energetic proprietor of the metropolitan studio took a most enjoyable little trip out into the country thebther day for the purpose of taking some reported charming views said views of which more anon we found equal to report we left the slum bering village of acton at the rather early hour of 4 am of course no one was up at that unearthly hour but we rfi see at an upper window of the residence of one of onr charming belles the blind drawn slight ly aside and a nightcapped head peeping ont but of course it wis not could not have been the dear creature herself 1 we bowled merrily along over the dusty roads iu spite of the impending rain of which we got a taste during the day and finally reached our objective point the pretty little village of eden mills at about half- past five we stabled onr nag at that excellent hostelry known as the eden mills hotel kept by one e johnston and while breakfast was being prepared we took a stroll around the village to pick out the best points of vantage from which to take the views the niain object of onr trip eden mills is one lof the prettiest and most picturesquely situated little villages we have seen excluding of couvse our own actor they have a fine threestorey grist mill also an oatmeal mill both built of stone mr hortop the owner who is at present enjoying a european trip resides in a fine stone house wth nice grounds adjoining the mill property amongst other industries are a cooperage carriage- works and smithy wood- workers and so forth they have two churches in the village a methodist and presbyterian also a rather neat cemetery j well plauted with trees shrubs and monuments the river speed runs through the village and affords ample water power the population is between three and four hundred souls we must not forget to mention that amongst other good things the scott act is in force and that the village boasts of a base ball club which rejoices lin the rather euphonius j name of the mohawks the leadingmera- bers of which expressed a desire to try con clusions with the acton clippers to which we call the attention of the clippers honor able secretary
