Tue BAPTIST misunderstanding in the eapaeous

crowded with young folks, and grown ones too
The Rev Mr. Eubank of Liberty, speaking at

The other exercises having been performed, the
frashments were partakeu of with hearty a good

Greatly enjoyed the proceedings ofth day.
The other schools went to the country to have
their celebrations
aTate's Spring." where understand delightful
lay was spent. The place is a magnificent one for
such purpose. A secluded and quiet dell away off
from the noise and hustle of life, amid the beauties
and smplicties of nature, with the ever flowing
waters of cool and sparkling spring, and with great
old oaks forming an impenetrablc canopy above the
scene is of farylke lovelness, and suggestive in
its every feature of picnic parties The whole day
was spent there by the company with such ceremonies
and amusements were appropriate and most con-

childhood rang out in joyous tones along the green
corridors of that beautiful temple of nature; in roic
and gee and gladness they gamboled over rock, and
vale and valley, and did those venerable old
oaks look down upon happier group, than that
which assembled beneath them last Friday. \ large
number of young ladies and gentlemen were present,
and shrewdly suspect that certain interesting lit
tie fellow, with bow and arrow, was more occupied
with them than he was with his compeers The ro-
mantle and loye-inspiring influences of the scene,
when exerted upon beauty and gallantry, we know
caused eyes we wot of to
Look love to eyes that spake again"
Tnr Episcopal ScnooL went up the River, a short
ii 3tance above Mint Spring" where with music, re-
frehments, &c, the morning was spent In the even
ing they rcplrc1 to their boats and occupied lhe re-
mander OF the day in the delights OF boat-riding-
With music and song they
Padded their white canoes"
long the placid waters and green banks of our beau
tfll river for hours like tabled Naiad corege in the
pageant of the god of the waters Late in the day
the craft of party of gentlemen who had been cham
gagning the Fourth little higher up, hove in sight
and their excellent voices and vioins were pressed
into service and the glorious Star Spangled Ban
nerp was made to float the waters in full clear
rich and resonndng notes. until the banks were lined
with admiring and enthusiastic spectators.
The METHODIST Protestant SCHOOL were on an
island nearly opposite the Episcopal. Everything
passed off very pleasantly but the feature of the oc-
casion we learn the address of little grl-Miss
Magee All were charmed with its beauty and with
the grace and elegance of its delvery-as an evidence
of which it was encored. On their way home this
school mingled in with the Episcopal, formnga whole
fleet of juvenile innocence and childish delight
The OLD METHODIST SCHOOL had their picnic near
the first toll gate the Campbell Court House road,
where learn everything passed off without ac-
cident and in the most pleasant manner.
We are not informed as to how the LIST Presbyter-
an School occupied themselves.
We have thus followed the different paths of plea
sure pursued by our various Sabbath Schools last
Friday and close with the expression OF the hope
that the next Fourth may be prolific of joys and
redoent of delight to them than the past.
A GRAND BARBAcUE was to have come off in
glen Just across the river the 4th. We have
heard nothing from it. Did not one survive TO tell
the tale?
There were several other horse parties by patriotic
gentlemen who went out in the country to celebrate
the day, but as there no 'chiel amang them Ia
kin notes" their proceedings must be lost TO the
world. What pity
One curious and interesting feature in connection
with one of these was that it was headed by three
foreignas--two EngliShmen and one German-who
enthusiastically united in honorlng our country
birth day. Having good hearts and good heads
they know how to do good deeds
