SUNDAY SCHOOL P1c-Mc.-The Sunday School ol
Trinity Church, Hasel street, ON Wednesday last,
had their annual festival celebrated this year by
picnic on Mount Pleasant. The two Superinten-
dents, Messrs. Z. CHAPN and s. A. NELSON, had
made considerable e1ertions, for some weeks past,
to get up everything in frst-rate order. In this
they were assisted by the hearty and jealous Co
operation Of all the teachers. and, from what We
Can learn, the projectors have every reason to feel
gratiaed at the success Of their party.
The first battalion OF infantry left in the O'Clock
boat, numbering, with their officers, about $50
The 10 o'clock boat conveyed some $50 more. A
pleasant grove near the beach had been selected
and in few seconds the new comers threw by
their urhanity, and reyelled in the fresh and glo'
rious breeze waited in from the broad Atlantic, and
delicaely spiced with the breath Of CEDAR oak and
pine. Childhood is at home in tke country; always
under more or less restraint in the city 1t was this
sympathy with childhood that made CowPER say
'sGod made the country; man made the town."
Soon the chaotic mass of infantines organized
into squads. The girls Jumped rope" and swung
in trees the boys, and the men too, played ball
the old fellows forgetting for the time being, that
business was dull, that corn was up and cotton
down; imagining, in pleasing hallucination, that
this was the glorious old Palmetto State, and not
half of District No. 2.
About IL o'clock the whole company were brought
together under large oak by the water side, and
here the tiny throats poured forth their infant
hearts in melody and alteration to their Maker.
The children appeared to enter this part of the
exercises with particular zest, and sang admirably
ssMarching Along" was the first hymn; the next
was ssUniyersal Praise" They were followed by
''Hosanna," beautiful River" and 'SThe Good
Ship Zion" All these hymns had been neatly
printed on programme, in the hands OF every one
present.
This concluded, it was announced that dinner
was next in order, and the company separated into
groups, each family having numerous guests.
The ''table" was decked on the ground, under
the friendly shade of pine or oak, and a
bountiful repast welcomed appetites made keen by
the bracing atmosphere, and the calsthenic exer-
cises of the morning. The temperature through
out the day was extremely pleasant, all that could
be wished for such purpose. After dinner playing
recommended, and so the day passed cff, oil happy
as could be, and nothing whatever to mar the
ioyisl occasion. There was no preaching of any
kind. either with or without text-in itself q
treat for children. There was not even speech.
The pastor, Rev. E. J. MEYNARDrE, was present,
and was to have addressed the assemblage, but
o'clock, the hour for parting, came too soon, and
there was no speech.
This school has an average attendance OF LOU

P1c-Mo OF THE MARION FIRE ENGINE COMPANY.
The bright skies and sunny smiles Of May are too
tempting to be long resisted, and it is perhaps
from this reason that it has become so popular as
the season to enjoy outdoor life, and to exchange
the restraints Of etiquette for romp in the woods
Actusted by this desire, many Of the companies
and societies Of the city have naugurated the plan
OF giving May Day pio-nics, at which the guests
could enjoy the social intercourse Of their friends
ut the same time they inhale the fragrant breath
Of spring fresh from the native woods.
The Marion Fire Company, having q
knowledge Of these facts, determined that their
anniversary should bs spent at some suburban re-
treat where the pleasures Of town and country life
could be combined Mount Pleasant was chosen
land, and at an early hour yesterday
morning the Company embarked on the 81. Helena
for their Utopia. Preparations had been made by
the committee Of be 81 FURNISH g refresh

ASP. NJ. the company and their guests repaired
to THNoKEN's dining room, where the tables were
spread with the best the season afforded. The
ladies were served BY their attentive cavaliers, who
by their deYotont to the fair SEX proved that the
galantry fireman was proyerbiaf.: After the
dinner the company returned to the hall, and the
remainder ofthe day was spent in dancing, fun
and hohc, until q late hour, when they embarked

HARvEsr.--The farmers have been cutting
their grass for several days, and we presume the
wheat harvest will commence inside of week.
The hay crop is enormous, and the wheat crop
throughout the country gives promise of cheap
bread.
