The shore dinner at the “Seaside” last Wedneseay, tendered tothe local press by the managers of that popular resort, was a success in every respect. Representa- tives from the GAZETTE were, owing to prior engagements, unable to attend, but if we may accept the statements of the others a glorious time was had all around. Messrs.

Agents of cam- paign goods appeared, with samples. of club suits, and the club finally selected the following :—White helmet hat with red plume; white Prince Albert coat with red belt and trimmings; red “leggins.” The suit is a handsome one and will pro- duce a pretty marching effect.

All willing to vote for Blaine and Logan are cordially invited to join and march with the rest. ‘ Harley‘s Lady’s Book for September pre- sents special attractions. There are two excellent serials now running, one from the pen of the popular Englislgauthoress, Helen Mathers, called “Dreeing of the Weird.” “The Story of an Elopement,” by Christianflteid, has not so quaint a title, but excites scarcely less interest and admiration.

Last Thursday night about ten o’clock, as Mr. Peter W. Sturges, of Cross High- way, was about retiring, he looked out of a window in the direction of his carriage and tool house and saw alight apparently in the building Watching it for a mo- ment he saw it increase and hurrying out he found it to be on fire; seeing that his efforts unaided were unavaillng he started for help, but before assistance arrived it was too late to save either the building or contents, which included a great quantity of miscellaneous farming tools used by Mr. Sturges' and his brother when they carried on farming on an extensive scale. A large quantity of hams packed in char- coal in barrels and grain, which were in the building, were destroyed. It was un- doubtedly the work of an incendiary, as .Mr. Sturges had not: been into the build. ing that evening. , WILTON. ' Mr. O. M. Dewing resumed to his home in Canterbury, Monbay. _ , The Rev.
