MAY Pic Nlc.-The young ladies,
studcnts of tine Rev. j.. T. Zealy, togeth.
er with their parents, and quite num-
ber of guests, celebrated last Friday at
Bush river, near the mill Qamiliarly
known as O'Neill's,) in one of the hap
piest pic mic frolics that ever was seen
or enjoyed in the merry and delightful
month Of May. 1t was altogether charm
ing, such number of beautiful maidens
and children, running over with inno-
cent fun and joyful abandon, so many
older, more matured and seasoned
guests, who seemed to have taken a new
lease of life, and jumped back at bound
into the first freshness of spring time,
it has not been our pleasure to see in
long, long time. 1t was impossible to
resist the spring-time feeling, and each
gave loose with a vim to push the day
hard for good old happy time. 1t is
scarcely necessary to mention the va.
rious means employed during the day
for the common and general enjoyment,
every one knows that the plays must
have been various, and suited to the oc-
casion in word there was fishing on a
small scale, and frolicing on an extended
scale, in which latter everybody, toge-
gether with half dozen or six old gen
tlemen, one Of them bearing resemblance
to this local took active parts; to see
these venerable lights of other days.
exhibiting their heels to the intense de-
light Of the misses, was refreshing; and
then as they went round and round the
Merry bush, or sat under the Ju.ni, per
| tree 'twould have melted the heart of a
stone. These lively. old blades are enti-
tied to consideration; we learn, howe
yer, some Of them. we're scolded in good
fashion by their wives, after returning
home that night;Tas as set off to that we
propose three cheers for the old codgers
of New berry ; then there was the usual
small percentage of courting, it would
not have been a pic mic without that,
/ for. where young hearts, warm hearts.
and unattached hearts of both sexes, with
bright eyes, soft gances, tender utter.
ances, and many little things which we
used to remember, but have almost
| forgotten now, are thrown together,
! couples will pair of, and seek soft, mos
sy.. seats, and -, but we win not
/ dwell on so tender theme, it is not for
the '.like Of US. The dinner, the spread,
was a feature !; even the lovers forgot that
1.-TWO souls have but a single thought,
two hearts should beat as one;" that
kind of sentiment would do for messy
seats. but the attraction at the long
board was of more importance than
loves young dream, and ,pie-crust prom.
iscs. Sensible Julia's and hungry Johns,
saw something more tangible in the good
ly array of baked pullets, pickles, plum
cakes and pies: We don't blame them a
whit. The dinner, was plentiful, excel
lent, fit to be set before king, and was
enjoyed as never dinner was before.
From seven in the early morn, till de~y
eve, the sports were Kept ups. from the
moment the whole ] beautiful, happy
freight were discharged by Mr., R.. F.
Diver, the handsome, accomplished, and
attentive master of The Helena Shops,
/ who kindly placed a train of cars at their
disposal, and accompanied the party on
| their joyous way, till the whistle blew
the signal of return, the fun was kept
up. 1t was happy day, full and COM
plete, and will long be remembered by all
the participants. On arriving at the
! depot three hearty cheers were given
| Mr.. Diver, at the suggestion of the Ia
! dies, which he deserved, and more:
Some of them should fall in love with
him, if not already so, for where SO
much cleverness and good looks are
combined, the possessor is worth catch
ing. One at time, however, ladies, or
he might jump off the track, and be lost
to all. Bait your hooks carefully, and if
you get nibble don't jerk Immediately,
but wait until he bites good, any Of
you.know when you get good bite
then gentle tirt, and you have him.
I. Who will get up another pic mic?

ed to know that our friend Dr.. Gouin
