I «.. — CATHOLIC SCHOOL PICNIC. The annual picnic in connection with the ! Citholic School was held at Wcstown on jMr J. Fischer's farm on Tuesday. Finer weather could not have been experienced, and consequently the picnic was a complete success from a pleasure standpoint. The children, who mustered about l',o strong, were driven out to the ground in j the morning, and spent a most enjoyub'o day, judging by the many happy faces that were to be seen when they returned to town. The catering was in the hands o£ Mr W. Black, who gave complete satisfaction. The following ladies amended to the children when they sat down for refreshments : — Misses Collins, Christie Gaym (2), Mesdames Francis, W. D Francis, Hart, Parker, Fischer, O'Neill, Townlcy, and others. Messrs Fischer, W. Gucrin, J. Guorin, Rafter, J Simpson, Stapleton. and Hart, and other gentlemen provided amusements for tho childien and assisted in every way to make the picnic a success.
