A meeting was held at the Christian
church, in this place. on Friday night to
see what could be done to secure its loca-
ton at Emporia. J. R. Swallow was chair
man of the meet ing, and H. w. Flick, Sec
rotary. The notice not having been circu-

small. Considerable interest was manifest
ed by the few present, and after few short
speeches the meeting adjourned to meet
again in two weeks, which will be on the
evening of the ninth of August.
| 1t seems useless for Us to urge our citi-
zens to attend this meeting. Every one
should be present and encourage this enter
prise. Mr.. Brown stated that it was the
intention of the society to erect one of the
wings of the building Immediately, and &c
keep on charging it from year to year until
when it was completed, it would be at COS
of some seventy five thousand dollars. The

The Picnic.


The Sabbath School Picnic at this place
on Tuesday last was complete success.
The attendance was much larger than WAS
anticipated. The people came from all di-
rections, with their we'll filled baskets. and
their wagons and carriages filed with sunny
faced children. Owing to the recent heavy
rains, it was thought best to hold the picnic
in the different churches of the town but
at noon the crowd was so great that tie
meeting had to be adjourned to Rinker's
grove. Notwithstanding the late rains, the
grove was pleasant and comfortable.
Previous to going to the grove, the au-
diance was addressed by Mr.. S. NJ. ThorP,
of Lawrence, who was present for that pur-
pose. We had not the good fortune to hear
the speech of Mr.. T., but it is spoken oil
as good one-just the thing to interest
..the young folks" We have heard Mr.
Thorp on similar OCCASIONS in Lawrence
and know that. as speaker that can inter
est and enlighten an audience of children
he is not excelled anywhere.
The exercises at the grove consisted of
short address by Prof Foster of Waterloo
an excellent dinner, singing. and plenty
enjoyment.
One of the features Of the day. and per
haps the one that attI acted the most atten
ton, was the EImendaro military company
commanded by Capt. Quimby-and attend
ed by excellent martial music, consisting o
a fife, two bass and two tenor drums. The.
were dressed in very neat uniform, AM
took our citizens by surprise. as the frs
warning they bad that this compan
was coming. was the beating of the drum
at the foot of Commercial street. The
were welcomed by our citizens with heart
cheers.
Altogether. the celebration was an exec

and with everything connected with the pi'
D mic. Such occasions should take place o
