It is built upon a. substantial ‘ and; decidedly handsome stbne wall. twelve feet high. It is a six-bent, barn, ninety-five by fifty-four r ~feet, and required a large-number of men to “raise” it. The morning 01 the “raising” broke clear and fair, ‘and the visitors began to arrive early in the day. By 2 oéclock in the after- noon the barnyard was crowded, and fully three hundred persons were pre- sent. They came from the farms in Verulam and surrounding townships, and from Fenelon'Falls and‘Bobcay- geon. Not only the rural population turns out at 3. “raising,” but the‘ villages and towns assist in swelling the crowd, and the business men of Fenelon Falls were well represented. Almost every description of vehicle was to be seen. There were strong, farm waggons, open buggies, covered buggies and single and double car- riages, both covered and open! Among the procession streaming toâ€" werds the form from all directions during the afternoon were some very handsome conveyances _and splendid- looking horses The farmers of " the ' county are justly proud of their hors- es. several well-known racers having been raised on Verulam or Feziélbn isms.
