On the 22d they will hold a religious re-ligious and social reunion, which is something some-thing new in the Park. Twenty new houses are in course of erection in this place. These, with the large number of new ones completed this summer, are evidence of the fact that there is some permanency of the camp.

A petition to that effect is going the rounds of the merchants, and its promoters pro-moters say that every one has promised to sign it, thus assuring success to the movement. On October 12th the ball for the benefit bene-fit of the Ontario school takes place. This is a worthy institution and deserves patronage. pa-tronage. The school is for the children of those working at the Ontario mine, and is gradually growing in size and strength. Fifty-seven pupils are enrolled. Its constant increase has compelled the trustees to build an addition to the building build-ing to accomodate all.
