Miss Nettie Moore's Sunday School
class had a nice pic nic of their own
on the Encampment hill last Satur
day. From what we learn from one
who was present, they all enjoyed it
finely and as each carried a basket,
it was ail done with but little trouble
to any one. We wonder that there
are not more of these innocent little
amusements got up for the happiness
and encouragement of the youDg.
A pleasant little dance came off at
the Oconee House, in this city last
rriday night. It seems to have been
quite an informal affair. By a sort of
spontaneous impulse it would seem—
as there were no invitations sent
out—some 18 or20 couples collected to
gether and enjoyed the pleasure of
the dance until 12 o’clock, when they
quietly dispersed to their respective
homes. We commend the modera
tion practiced on this occasion, in
closing the dance at so reasonable an
hour.

J. W. SUPPLE,
The “Arm Clutch" Again,
Editor Union Ukcordkr:
The “stifl back’ editor of the
Llironicle is not one of the “Hop over’
’ ; lencB - 1 was surprised at the
Apology” for his late manly stand
on tlie Arm-Clutch. Like trying to
set tip n rooking chair over which he
had fallen j n the dark,—the more he
tried to set up the Dudes tile more lie
knocked them down. At this I could
but chuckle, and I would have left
the able-bodied editor to explain his
apology, without interference on my
part, even if he did call me nn “old
cuss,” if he had not joined the Dudes
m putting the blame of the “Arm-
Clutch” ou the girls. Againgt this
charge I desire to enter my most earn
est protest. Since the young and in
experienced Eve yielded to the temp
tation of the serpent in tho garden
of Eden—uian, strong man, lias
sought to lay liis sins on the weak
shoulders of woman. That she is re
sponsible for many fashionable fol
lies cannot be denied—but not this.
Man’s awkward hand is plainly visi
ble in the ungraceful “arm-clutch.”
It is a masculine invention. It is his
act and not hers and is very proper
ly known us the Dude’s ’ Fashion.
Now taking the arm of a man is her
act, and she may touch his sleeve
lightly with her finger-tips, or cling
to his arm with both hands, as mod
esty or coquetry might dictate. But
those who seek to blame her for this
innovation ou a time-honored custom
say she has a right to object, and if
she does not, it is nobody’s business.
Since the custom is disapprove* I by
sensible men and women, and even
ridiculed by the young men who prac
tice it, anil the fair sex are sought to
be held responsible for it, I hope
that notwithstanding the demands of
Fashion or tho pleadings of the so-
called lords of creation, they will here
after say emphatically, “I won’t-”

inches less than normal. Three weeks
' of dry weather in April, after a dry

1 ton up before the last of the month,
j Frost and ice in the early part of the
month did much damage to gardens.
Drouth following frost made it espe
cially hard on Irish potatoes and will
reduce the crop at least one-half. Pas
ture is very poor. Cut-worms and
Bud-worms are reported as unusually
destructive and the Harlequin, (or
“Lincoln”)bug appeared in large num
bers early in tne month and have
commenced to foreclose their mort
gage on the Brassica family. In ex

Ears and Scalp Covered with Ecze
matous Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cuticura.
M V little son, aged eight years, has been
ailliiled with Eczema or the sculp, and at
times a great portion of tho body, ever since he
was two years old. It. began In Ills ears, and ex
tended to his scalp, which became covered with
seals) and Hores, and from which a sticky Until
poured out, causing intense Itching and distress,
ami leaving Ills hair matted anil lifeless. Un
derneath these senbs the skin was raw, like a
piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came
out and was destroyed, until tint a small patch
was left at the back of tho head. My friends In
Peabody know how my little boy has suirered.
At night he would scratch his head until his
pilIow,\vas covered with blood. I used to tlo his
hnnds behind him, anil In many ways tried to
prevent Ills scratching; but It, was "no use, he
would scratch. I took him to tlie hospital ami
to the best physicians in Peabody without suc
cess. About this time, some friends, who had
Seen cured by the Uimci'HA Rkmkdiks, prevailed
upon me to try them. 1 began to use them on
the lfith of January last. In seven months every
particle of the disease was removed. Not a spot
or scab remains on his scalp to toll the story of
Ills suilerlng. His lutlr has returned, and is
thick and strong, and li'.s scalp us sweet ami
clean a* any child’s In the world. I cannot say
enough to express my gratitude for this wonder
ful cure by the Cuticiira Ukmbimks, and wfsh all
similarly aillicteil to know that my statement is
true and without exaggeration.

Not only shortens tho time
of labor and lessens the pain,
but it greatly diminishes
the danger to life of both
mother and child, and
leaves the mother in a con
dition more favorable to
speedy recovery, and less
liable to Flooding, Convul
sions, and other alarming
symptoms. Its efficacy in
tills respect entitles It, to be
called The Mother’s

of tho life-saving remedies
of tho nineteenth century.
