TENUI NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent). The roadman bas been I am pleased tossy, by the County C»unoil,i to fascine the " Slough of Despond," by Grange's. The chanceß of being bogged willbe lessened, but the work , will' be fruitless unless the metal, which has been lying on the roadside for the past twelve months, is put earliest opportunity. The Grassendalo School has been closed during the past week as many of the scholars have the meaßles, I understand it will be olosed anothec fortnight. Our footballers met with a warm reception at Greytown on Tuesday Inst. The home club: did not mean to throw away the ohance of winning 80 tliey put the strongest , lot in the field they could get, It is obaractor-' istio of that township to take any advantage that offers in a game ef skill, regardless of 1 arrangements previously made. If" our fellows challenge ' Greytown again for a mixed team to play then? they should stipulate for a game with the honorary;. members, boys under eighteen, and sotne of the second fifteen. Tho seniors would then have to shave their upper lip. and out off i,their be«da. liut tlisre, they would not objeot so long as they could pass as juniors for the nonce and Bavt, the honor (?) .of their Club. The least they might 1 have done, if they could not get a I mixed team together, was to inform, i us and we could have cried off. In- ' stead of that they waited untififpur > fellows were on the field and thon i they (rotted out their strongest fifteen. Good atbletio Greytown I Such sportsmanlike spirit commends i itself.
