the congregation worshiping at the
St. Johns church hold picnic. they
go to work in earnest to make good
thing of it. Yesterdays picnic was
no exception to, the general rule. The
crowd was immense, and the joy was
unconined. All the omnibusses,
hacks and buggies in the city for hire
were in use all day, aud crowds of
people were constantly going to and
retu rning from the grove. In the
morning. the Crescent City Silver
Band, in their magnificent chariot,
paraded the streets, calling forth the
people by the most enchanting strains
of music, and afterwards led the pro-
cession to the grove and returned to
the city at noon
The Turner band, with the German
string bands made music at the grove
The hospitality of the members of
the congregation was unbounded, aud
Rhine wine flowed freely, and green
back Is were expended with a profuse-
ness indicating anything. else than "a
close money market. Innumerabie
devices for rendering the scene pleas
ant were in vogaes and we never saw
a crowd enjoy themselves more
fully There was a large floor for
dancing constantly occupied by gay
crowd, and others were dancing on
the green In fine, the day waslspeht
in that exubereatiy joyous manner

walls. Rhe festivities were protracted !
until late hour in the evening, and
everything passed off pleasantly, so
far as we have learned.
