THE PIC-NIc-The impromptu picnic
and dance, gotten up by the young peo-
pie last Saturday, was decided success.
What the young folks undertake, is gen
orally accomplished in the best manner.
Saturday morning the subject was first
thought of. and by three o'clock in the
afternoon the youth and beauty of Man
itowoc were assembled at Gerpheide $
garden, when with plays of cfoquet, ten
pins, flirting and such other games as
young folks delight in, the afternoon
passed away as though but moment.
The ladies unpacked the baskets they
had brought along, and spread tables for
lunch" as they called it. If this was
lunch we are very DESTROYS of knowing
what dinner would be. IT would be
useless to attempt giving description of
the variety of good things set out, as we
are not equal to such occasions. On re-
turning from the grounds at dark. it was
suggested to close the day with young"
dance at the Windiate House. The sug-
gestion of course met with vigorous APP
plause. Mr. Windiate kindly offered
the use of his hall, and we enjoyed for
brief time the delights of shaking the
eight fantastic" Among the pleasures
of the occasion was the music aud songs
rendered in the highest style of art, by
the Miss E., B, and b. This
picnic party, owing to the kind and joy
Gus spirit manifested by all the partici-
pants, was by far the most pleasant of
any, attended by US in years The ladies
of Manitowoc know how to get up such
things as they ought to be. NJ.

MANITOWOC, Aug. 9Th. 1871.

To the editor of TIE MANITowoC
TRIBUNE -
At a recent meeting Of the Directors
of the Jones Library Association, the
undersigned was requested to make an
appeal to every citizen, through our
county press. urging them to come to the
support of this deserving, though Ian
gushing, enterprise.
This association has upon its shelves
something over twelve hundred volumes,
of as well selected books as can be found
anywhere embracing all departments of
literature, that it lets out to its members
and rents to its non members for a rea-
sonable compensation And it is certain
ly nothing to the credit of our people,
that the facilities which this institution
affords the community for instruction,
entertainment and improvement are sad
ly neglected.
When the association first went into
active operation it undertook to keep
open public reading room. free to all,
supplied with some oe the leading news
papers and periodicals of the country,
but failing of support, adequate to the
expense incurred, it has been obliged
to discontinue the papers one by one
until its desks now make but meagre
display, all resources of the association
being insufficient to meet its running ex-
penses. 1t therefore becomes matter
of urgent, vital necessity that the officers
of the association call upon the friends
Of the enterprise to aid in maintaining
and keeping alive this much needed and
most useful institution, and henoe, this
appeal.

We suggest to the friends of Hon. O.
II. Waldo. that it would be good idea
to run him for governor, or some other big
Office. Ever since he was defeated by
Carpenter for the Senate, he has had
railroads on the BRAIN, and if something
is not done soon to divert him he is
bound to become a raving maniac. He
solemnly declares that he is bound to
make the country between Milwaukee
and Green Bay complete net-wor,,. of
railroads. He promises to run a side
track through everybody barn yard. -Er
