request of fellow Senator.
| Lost.
Mr.. Welty said he wished to take
the responsibility of the amendment
on himself, as the other members
of the Conference Committee had del
egatei to him the duty of examining into
the IN after and decide. As the Senate had
previously favored an amendment allowing
the formation Of corporations for farming
purposes he had considered himself as i'll a
manner bound by their action in that regard,
as a member of the Conference Committee,
and had conceived that the only difficulty
was with regard to the amount of land.
Mr.. Mason said when the Bill was first
introduced he had been favorably impressed
with it, but changed his opinion. He OPP
pesed it now because he considered it born
IN iniquity and as establishing that worst of
all monopolies. a monopoly of land. BY it
2520 acres of the best land of the State,
which would otherwise support many fami-
lies, could be gobblcd up by corporation.
Dceming it inimical to the best interests of
the State he hoped the amendment would be
rejected and the bill killed.
Mr.. Edwards said under the Act of Con-
gre>s no one party could purchase from the
State more than 800 acres of the public do
main-so this amendment would be invalid
if adopted
Mr.. Monroe hoped the amendment would
not be agreed to. Men died and their es-
tates were cut up; corporations never die. by
this Bill great land monopolies would be
created.
Mr.. Grey said he h d always been op-
posed to this Bill and was more now than
ever.
The Senate refused to adopt the amend
ment recommended BY the Conference Com
mittee, Abraham and Edwards-Mullan and
Tritle voting aye.

The hebrew orphan As, Ium Picnic.

The picnic gotten up by our Hebrew
friends, for the benefit OF their Orphan
Asylum at Cleveland, came OF yester-
day, and was grand success. The diff
ferent committees have faithfully attend
ed to their duties and deserve credit for
completing the arrangements in such
perfect style. At ten o'clock a. m. crowds
Of people commenced to gather on the
grounds, and towards evening the park
was filled with young and old-with a
greater number than on any occasion be-
FORE The different departments were all
we'll attended, the ladies having charge
of the refreshment tables. Mr. E. Acker-
man superintended the bar; Mr.. H..
Seessel, sr., attended to the barbecuing
of meat, and must have roasted, at least,
Eve oxen, ten calves and twenty sheep,
not saying anything of big and little
elephants with wings.
Dancing was commenced at eleven
o'clock, and for an hour or so only par
ticipated in by children, which alone
was treat for any one to see. Daring
the afternoon, and until after midnight,
quadrilles, lancers, values and other
dances were alternately enjoyed, and
at times two hundred couples were NOV
ing to the inspiring strains of music at
once. A grand march was led at seven
o clock, and not less than FIVE hundred
couples were in line.
An interesting feature of the day was
the voting of handsome bouquet to the
fsvorite young lady on the grounds, for
which Miss Jennie Rice was the lucky
contestant Miss Ella Marks, another
sweet sixteen" was also awarded a
beautiful bunch of magnolias for being
the best looking one on the grounds.
The illumination at night was fne,
and at a distance had very imposing
appearance. Captain Aug. Hiizfeld fur.
nished large number of lamps with his
new invention of portable gas, which, by
the by, is beautiful light, and deserves
the attention of the public.
Not enough credit can be bestowed
upon all the committees, for not only did
they see that everything was in excellent
shape, but they paid special attention
to the wants of their guests, and did all
in their power to make the affair plea
SAINT to oil that were present No dis
turbance took place all day, a fact that
deserves to be noted in this city. Finan'
cially 1--WE have it from headq uarters) it
is more of success than was anticip-
ated. The affair reflects infinite credit
upon the taste, liberality and good man
agement of our Hebrew friends, and will
long be remembered by all who were
present with emotions of pleasure and
satisfaction.
