Harbourville.
Harbourville now boasts a hotel, which was opened to the public on July 16th, by James E. Morris, proprietor. The opening was grand. Many people from the valley and neighbouring towns were here on that day. Mr. Morris had the Berwick Brass Band to entertain his guests during the day, and in the evening Messrs. Robert Earley and Charles Givan played their violins, while the young folks kept step to the music. Mr. Morris deserves much credit for the energy he has put forth to erect a building to entertain the foreign tourist, as well as all travellers. There are now many tourists rusticating at the "Clifton House," and others are coming every day. We wish the proprietor all the success possible.
Messrs. Chute and Perry have purchased the building formerly owned by C. O. Cook, and it is now undergoing a thorough repair. Both the store and dwelling house will be occupied by the firm as soon as completed.
The steamer Clayton, owned by a company at the copper mines at Cape D’Or, runs very often into our harbour, bringing travellers over. They then get teams to convey them to Berwick where they take the train.
Mrs. Henry Aker has purchased the Lockhart Morris place on the hill and intends to move into her new home very soon.
The Misses Eunie and Jennie Wotton, from Wilmot, are spending a few weeks at the seaside.
Miss Sophia Cook has arrived home to spend a few weeks with her parents, after an absence of two years in Boston.
Miss Delia McBride, who has been visiting friends in Massachusetts for the past two months, returned to her home recently.
Rev. Mr. Shurman, from Cambridge, has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Parker for the past week.
