All the school children, and a good many others, as well aa the teachers, some of the parents, and all tho members of the Committee assembled at 2p m. It was apparent, however, that bad weather was blowing up from the direotion of the town, and therefora the planting was carried out with tha utmost expedition. After the planting, the children had just time for a few good games, when rain fell, and an adjournment to the school beoame necessary. In the building, biscuits, lollies, and ginger beer were served out in plenty, and a good many cheers were given for Arbor Day.
