Mr I'rembath (of tbe firm of Brewer and Trembath) has been round fixing np tbe Walter A. Wood bindpre for the coming buevnst. The farmers find It a great benefit to get their machines thus repaired, free of charge, year after year. This firm seem to fulfill all their promises to' those who buy machines of them, and Mr Trembstb is a man who will not leave a machine until ho haa her in proper working order, no matter how long it tskeß, at the same time explain* ing to the owner all neeewary details. Mr K. Oi chard haa got a splendid seam of coal in bis Olenibee pit. He estimates having one thousand tons ready to be carted away, and is doiog a roaring trade. A meeting was held last Thursday night to arrange for aa annual picnic, the ladies taking a prominent part in the proceedings. The picnic is to be held on Friday, the l&th inst. Strangers specially invited. The be.t is oppressive, and strong east winds spring up in tbe afternoon. Water v getting scarce, and rain is much wanted. The turnips and grass are suffering, abd tbe crops in general will be light and much earlier than usual. Grass-seen cattiog is finished and farmers are carting their coal and firewood for tbe coming winter.
