bearing the happy throng 10 the beautiful
grove which had been selected for the days
entertainment. Arrived there, the compa-
ny soon dispersed themselves in groups
over the ample grounds, one cluster here
and another there, till all were suited. OF
Picnic we may say, in a certain sense,
what the sacred penman says Of the chill
dren Of Israel ut time when they had no
king-"Every one does what is good in
his own eyes" On this occasion the rule
worked well; for no one had disposition
TO encroach, in the least, on the rights OF
another. In the midst Of the diversity
there was essential unity. Each was pleased
and all were happy. ''
Too much praise can not be awarded to
Mr.. Hargrave, the gentlemanly Agent OF
the Railroad, who spent the entire day
with us. By the most graceful attentions

At six o'clock the whistle blew, and the
entire company were soon on the train for
r their return. At seven o'clock all were
safely landed at the depot. Not an accident
had occurred, and so far as our knowledge
extends. not an unpleasant feeling had
been awakened during the day. We
were impressed more than ever with the
great merit of the new and flourishinR
church organization of st. Johns. 1t is q

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Last night, about
eleven o'clock, David Olinger, who resides
In Harrison township, a short distance
west of the railroad bridge over the Miami,
met with very serious accident resulting
IN the loss OF leg. II appears that at the
time above stated, Olinger was standing on
the track, at the railroad crossing on Third
street, east of the canal, Just as a locomo-
tive was approaching. The engineer, sup
posing him to be one of the railroad men
who wanted to get on the locomotive,
which was running very slow at the time,
did not check up. Olinger did not get out
lpf the way, and was run over, the wheels
crushing his left foot and ankle in a most
shocking manner. DIR. Egry was called
soon after the accident, and found the man
bleeding very profusely from the wound.
He Immediately applied tourniquet to
stop the flow of blood, and then had Olin-
ger conveyed to his home where the leg
was amputated below the knee, about one
O'Clock in the morning, by DIR. Egry, as
sisted by DIR. Koch. Although the opera
tion had to be made by candle-light, It was
very skillfully performed, and to-day the
injured man is doing remarkably well. We
learn that Olinger was very much intoxi-
Gated at the time of the accident, which
accounts for his not getting out of the way
of the locomotive. The sad and painful
consequences of the casualty should and
no doubt will be a salutary lesson to him
for the remainder of his life.

The VALUE OF CHOICE STOcK.-Among
the most enterprising and practical stock
raisers in Ohio-excelled, in truth, but by
few anywhere in the West-are Messrs
Reber & kutz, of Lancaster. In the supe-
riority and fame of their fine horses they
have established for themselves no little
celebrity running back q number of
years.
While benefiting community, by giving
strong encouragement to other stock raisers,
as well as by adding materially to the
quality of blooded breeds, they have also
made IL pdy-a valuable consideration, and
a sure result.
A few days since, we understand, Mr.
Kutz sold his half-interest In all the stock
to Mr.. Il. A. Smith, celebrated s'horse-
man. of Cincinnati, the number, being ten,
yielded fourteen Thousand dollars, among
them the famous racer ana breeder OF
racers, Bonnie Scotland. There are also IN
this purchase, two brood mares out of the
celebrated Old Fashion, who beat Boston In
the fastest race he ever ran. and their year
lings and two year olds by Bonnie Scot
land. Also, Lady Lancaster, the dam OF
Sycamore, Malcom and other fast ones.
Only lew years ago Messrs. Reber &
kutz formed a partnership, and in
vested twelve thousand dollars In blood
horses. Mr.. Kutz has realized since that
time, about twenty thousand dollars as his
half of the profits, and now he makes a
sale of his interest in this stock for nearly
three times its original cost. Can't the ad-
voeates of scrubs and cold bloods learn
wisdom from the wise.

highest species ofpraise.
Macaulay tells us that if man wish to
write poetry, he must begin by forgetting all
the poetry he has read. This is certainly good
advice, otherwise, his memory will betray him
into imitation, and imitation is but a picture
from picture, not from nature, which the true
poet must study and initiate, it he wish to live
in verse. Mr.. X. seems to have followed this
very difficult advice. His scenery is Virginia
scenery, charmmgly rural, eXquisiteIy natural,
and painted with all the life, freshness and
yigor that words can impart to description. lie
seems to have a thorough command Of the
tools with which poet must work, language,
rhythm, ycrsilication, and (whcrc it is uSed)
rhyme. His language is energetic and express
sive, his rhyi hm flexible and musical, his YER
s6eation flowing, and his rhyme apt, and
never forcing the sense. The poem reminds us
of some OF the best of Wordsworth, although
evidently mol Initiated from that great, butsci-
dom read poet 1t will be better known than
it is, aud the public appreciation will Justify
an We here say of it.
