They were equipped for hunting ns well ns.angling. There arc, in the party, one physician and four dentists; these latter, doubtless, will find ample room for n display of t ie.‘r powers in extn ctiag • — mosqtii- tot bills «|Mm this part of the programme They, evidently,' felt that thfry ltad a reputation to sustain and right well did they, do it, under the guidance of oar young friend, Miss Myrtle. Dinner—that thing of all things at a pie uie—was announced at half past ono o'clock for the yonuger opes, who were served first, the larger ones to gether with parcuts and visiting friends, and lastly, the Committee of Arruugewcms—poor, tired ones —who, as usual, did all the work, and got few thanks. ImLed, we don't know that they got any, for when they finished their labors and thought to have at least an hour or so of pleasure, to their .amazement the whole party was gone, and they were ftft to get home os be-it they could, with naught to refresh them hut the recollections of the day's fatigue. " As Marshal of the Day, we hud a good opportunity of observing several of.the many frailties of human nature, among them. quite prominent, the ca pacity of some* folks for ciiickt n legs and such like. Now, we have always ci-nt nded that we hud no super far* in this matter, but we now yield the point and own up fairly that we have been.beaten. Four legs, two wings, two side-bones, a tew slices, of breast and the puff-brute is all we ever care for at one time, but these ain’t a circum stance to whut well, we won’t say uny more about it—somebody might think we wore personal. Well, laying all the t se little things aside, we must say that upon the whole, our pic uic was a perfect success; a flucr day could no- h ive been chos*-r. The children all 1 ad a good time and went home happy, t n -aee with them selves and all the w- rid; so wo are sat isfied. GENEFA'. ITEMS SA. UA’i ll SCTICdl. PIC MC. Villon Celebration.

Suffice it to say, the ch nils they represented had no cause to feci at ail ashamed of their orators; they i did nobly We mention last, l ut not least, Miss Myrtle Harris aud ti e girls of the public school who fuvoreu ns all with some of their own school spngs.
