I hoar from Norfolk that tho rector of Swanton Novora (tho Rev. G. W. ltolfe), who is a staunch Churchman," conceived the happy thought, over his morning pipe, of having a joint-stock cliurch-and-etyapel harvest festival. When tho chapel" chiefs" were a»ked to" join hands" they at once dtd so. All the choirs were united; nil tho villagers—Dissenters or not—sent gifts; and ti.u church was filled as it never had been filled bcf'U'O. i A correspondent writes that, on attending a rvice at SherboruechHrch, Gloucestershire ricmtly, ho was much astonished and indignant to seo a lady enter and take her seat, with a large shaggy terrier under hor arm. On inquiry hediscovered that the lady was a titled dame of the neighbourhood, and th it she persisted in bringing tlie dog to church, in spite of the expressed objection of the rector. The dog, my informant adds conducted himself decorously throughouht the service, which shows in my mind that he had a better sense of what is due to the place th in his mistress A Field Lakk - A country picnic.
