MR. EDITOR II lie Twelfth OF July. 1900,
Will hang OF TO the recollection of many Of
the juvenile population of VI neral Point for
some time to come, nor viii many or the ad-
ult opuation very soon forget il. TWAS on
that day that the Primitive Methodist Sab
bath School and those interested in it, turned
out in mass to have an excursion on the
Mineral Point Raj Road and very pleas
ant turn out it proved to be. III fact, there
vas everything. calculated to make the ex-
cnrsion pleasant one, on hand. a fine day,
healthy, cheerful, well-clad, company Of
adults and children, good natured Conduc-
tor ara sklllful engineer TO manage the
train, and moreover. abundance of cold ham,
mutton, chickens, pies, cakes, and how many
e ceteras besides, who can tell ? all of the
first quality.
The train, f-eighteI with quite cargo of
precious life, left Mineral Point some time
between eight and Mae o'clock, \. NJ, and
steadily pursuing is way, GOT to Warren
some time about noon. Here tie cargo Of
living things pat in motion their own loco
motive apPendages, ard preambulated the
streets Of that City, on the Prairie, while
there. Al on Board = said voice, and
ali on board it was then the Iron Sized y
breathing fire and smoke, bore its broad way
back to Darlington and stopped. Once more
pedestiaaism became the order OF the day,
and the teachers, scholars, &c. formed in

hope some genius will make 1t poetry, for it
is fact at any rate.
And III the music from the choir of the
Mineral F6Y6t p NJ. church, was music. Is
it possible for a person to be born or baptized
in music if it is. | should think that the
man who drew the bow over that shrugged
instrument to make it send forth such sounds
must have been 50 favored. And then the
magic by which the young lady, who, by
tapping with her fingers those hits or black
sticks or bones IN that box, can produce such
happying. IS that the word vibrations, IS a
profound mystery. 1t was good. Bro. Evans
Of Shulsburgh made first lie spicy little
speech, aud Bro. Cowen Of Mineral Point,
made little speech TOO; and then The black
aud white sticks in the box joined with sew
eral voices, and the thing with strings made
another exquisite speech, and the party in
the grove broke up. The smoking horse
travelled once more on its iron road, and
landed its big load Of life all safe and sober.
