Mr. Edtor-I have just returned from "pic mic"
got up in fine style by Capt. H--y, as clever fell
low, and as much of gentleman as ever looked at
lee shore through glass; and although the flush OF
Baechus has scarcely passed from nay check, still
hoping you will pardon all grammatical and other
rors which may occur under present circumstances
proceed TO give you brief description Of our visit to
"CupIds Grove" delightful place. situated on the
banks Of small lake, or pond, short distance from
B., and bat few rods from the road leading from
Bridgeport to Stralford.
Never, ne, never have passed such pleasant af-
ternoon as this. Time cannot eiloce from my memo
ny the many circumstances which TRANSFERRED this
occasion. Well about the hour of 3 we mustered
our party, numbering abeut forty ladies AND gentle
men, and proceeded on FOOT or it is but short dis
tance) Having arrived, we assembled under the
shade of large and towering oak, whose top seemed
to kiss the skies and after conversng awhile upon
various interesting topics, we separated INTO parties OF
say two or three and commenced a ramblc IN search
OF adventures, while our ackeys were preparing
