Pic .NIc.-The annual picnic for the
benefit of the pupils in the public
schools, and their friends, comes off
to-day, ut Cresap's Grove. Three steam
ers have been chartered TO convey the
multitude OF little folks on this excur-
sion. III addition. one of the boats will
have large barge or two in tow, which
will accommodate, comfortably, sever
nj hundreds. We do not know when
we have heard of more ample and per-
feet arrangements being made for an
of this kind, and should the
" Gather prove favorable, the prospects
for splendid time are exceedingly
good. The teachers in the various
schools will accompany the party, and
parents need not, therefore, fear that
their children will not be faithfully
and efficiently looked after. Every
thing will be done that can possibly be.
10 promote the pleasure OF all who
may go. The boats will promptly leave
the wharf this morning att o'clock,
and ii is desirable that all who contem-
plate going should be OH hand mt that
hour. As such excursions promote Il
keen appetite, il will be well to provide
ample baskets filled with the substan.
tIals. Remember the hour, and be on
board in good season.

ESHImrIOS.-The young ladies con-
ncclud with the nth department of the
Union school III Mnrtinsville, gave an
entertainment consisting OF essays, &C.,
on Tuesday evening. The occasion is
said TO have beenan exceedingly pleas
ant one. The school has been under
the care of MIR. Z. X. Shreve and Mrs.
Ii. II. MediIl, aud their pupils gave owl
dence OF their superior abilities AS
teachers.
Tho essays were good, one or two OF
OF them too long, perhaps, but the ex-
celIent manner in which they were
road amply compensated for their
length. Great praise is due Mr.. Shreve
and Mrs. Medill for the perfection at
tanned by the scholars under their
charge in articulation, and We would
that many of our teachers could have
listened to the distinct Guunciaiiou on
that occasion. II occurs TO us they would
have resolved TO pay more attention to
this important matter.
The hall in which the exercises were
held was filled with IA large and highly
interested audience. This fact will en-
courage both teachers and pupils. As Il
was tangible proof that the labors of
the former to impart, and the exertious
Of the latter TO acquire, knowledge are
properly appreciated, and we but give
expression to the sentiment OF all who
We're present when we say that they ar
IDENTIFY desire a speedy recurrence OF
thnt delightful occasion.

NUIsANcE.-The unenclosed fraction
of lot just above the INTELLIaENoER
office on Quincy street, is fast becom-
ing an eye sore and spot to breed
disease. 1t is made the receptacle of
the waste water of large boarding
house, aud having very imperfect
drainage, quite a large pool of green,
sLagnant water is to be seen there daily.
Some one whose duty it is to look after
such matters should give that place
Immediate attention. a few cart loads
OF gravel have been dumped on the lot,
but If covered all over with that ma
terInl it would only be covering up the
plague spot, without removing the
cause. 1t needs sewer to carry the
offensive matter into the creek. We
call the Street commissioners atten-
lion TO it.

MURDER AT CAMBRIDGE, O.-The
town OF Cambridge, Ohio, about tiny
miles west of this city on the National
Road, WAS the scene of deliberate
murder on Tuesday night. From the
driver OF the omnibus running be-
tween here and that place, We learn the
following particulars: There is hotel
in the village kept by Mr.. Benjamin
Sipes. A young man named kennon,
law student, boarded at Mr.. Sipes'
house, and while his conduct has been
generally commendable, he INDUCED
occasionally, 1t Is said, in strong drink.
1t is supposed that he had been over
come by his desire for liquor on Tues
day, and in the evening when he retir-
cd 10 his room. he took with him a
large lamp that was used in the hall.
Mr.: Slpes had occasion to use the lamp,

AHEAD OF ALL CoMPETIr1oN.-we

AHEAD OF ALL CoMPETTrIoN.-We
visited, yesterday morning, the photo
graphic gallery ofour friend Partridge,
and passed an hour very pleasantly In
looking at the beautiful pictures and
complete arrangements of his estab-
lishment. We do not believe there is
such an extensive art gallery west of
the Allegheny Mountains, except in
two or three OF the largest cities, nor do
we believe that finer pictures are made,
or in any greater variety, in any city,
either east or west, leaving out New
York and Philadelphia. And we speak
candIdly when we say that we have
seen nothing in the picture way COM
ing from them that exceIs those
brought out by Partridge. We were
astonished at the low prices charged
for real gems of art. For few cents
and in Few minutes you can have
your features impressed on enduring
plate hundreds of times. An instru-
ment used in the establishment Is a
real curiosity in It's line, capable of
multiplying pictures to almost any ex-
tent by very simple arrangement.
Partridge has always been in the lead
In his profession, and is now about in
PRODUCING novelty which Will rapidly
win its way to public favor -on account
of the perfection OF the pictures pro-
duced and the low price at which they
can be afforded. To do full justice to
Partridge and his palace of art would
require more time, and more space In
our columns, than we can spare, yet
we say that IL you want TO see II first
class establishment in every respect,
go and look through it for yourselves.
III you want pict ures, frames, brackets,
or anything in the art way, give Par
fridge a call. He has samples of Grant
medals and breastpins that will be
eagerly sought after by that distin-
you want TO pass an hour pleasantly,
and probably, too, drop IN at III Main
street. You will find the proprietor
and all his assistants courteous and ac-
commodatiug.

FATAL Yesterday morn

irishman by birth, but had spent the
grcnter portion OF his life in Scotland.
Some years since lie lmmigrated to this
country, and after remaining here and
taking part in putting down the
rebellion, he concluded to make
visit 10 his birthplace in the
Old World. Having carried out
that design, he induced his aged
father 10 accompany him OH his
return 10 his adopted country, and
they arrived here last Thursday. The
YoIr Mt once obtained employment, and
went 10 work with IA will, now that the
family were once moro united. 1.-TWO
sisters had come to America, previous
Iy, aud were living in this city, Mr..
Ward, whose career has been SO sud-
denly brought To Il close, was unmnr-
ried, about 2G years old, aud il repre-
scented To have been sober, industrI-
GUS and highly respected man. His
death Will be IA terrible blow To his
father, who Is almost AN entire stranger
in the country, aud has thus been be
ref Of his stay nnd support in his
declining yenTs.

CONSTITUTIONAL DIFFERNCEs.-There are
many constitutions SO inherently defective

such vegetable medicines ard extracts as en-

which even the healthtest erive additional

and continued exertion in confined air, or
under the heat OF the sun, or to the inf uence
OF depressing watChiulneSS by travelling, aud
