The RAGGED SCHOOL AT EIYRrA-We have
before spoken of the excursion of the Union
Ragged School at Elyria on Saturday last
The Elyria Democrat gives some interesting
particulars of the occasion. We quote few
paragraphs. 1
The pupils each carried small banner,
bearing various Inscriptions, and marched
with perfect order, presenting a scene Of
pleasure rarely witnessed on public occasions
There were three hundred of them, mostly
under IL years Of age: and as they entered
the Park, they were received by an equal
number of Sabbath school children from
Elyria and vicinity, and whose sly glances at
the little strangers as they passed through,
were intensely amusing.

After another song, the children of the
grass where they sat doWu to eat their dinners
while the other children were provided for in
the north Hall. The ladies had prepared one
thousand cornucopias, each filled with va
riety of provisions and confectionery, and
| these were passed round each child taking
one, and devouring its contents with great sat
! isfaction This was the most interesting feat
ure Of the day. Many of the children had
left home with scanty breakfast, and they
ate their cakes end drank their lemonade with
great relish. The Band played some delight
| ful airs, and the tables in the South Hall were
surrounded by the Teachers and others, par
taking of bountiful repast. sa 4 -
After dinner, the children were left to gam
boil amid the deep shade of pines which cover
the ground, and the teachers accepted an in
vitation to visit the Cave and the beautiful
scenery on Cascade Street. Il was a new
scene to many of them, and they expressed
themselves delighted with their ramble. ~.
The hour for their departure now arrived,
and the procession was again formed, and
marched to the depot, where a great crowd Of
citizens and children gatheredto see them de-
part As the train moved of, three lusty
cheers were given for the Cleveland Ragged
/ School, which was responded to by the wa
wing of banners from every car window. 1t
was an occasion Of great interest," and if the
visitors enjoyed the same degree of satisfac-
ton in coming, as the citizens Of Elyria did
In receiving and entertaining them, it will
long be remem beTed as a pleasing event in
the lives of all who participated.
