cies were plentifully bestowed on oil
DESTROYS of partaking. Speech ma
king was also carried on to limited
extent here, most OF the speaking be-
ing reserved for the grand banquet
AT THE FAIR GROUNDS
to which the party were conveyed
from the steamer. A most bountiful
repast was here served, and although
preparations had been made for but
300, and but little time given
to prepare for an additional 800,
yet all were bountifully supplied.
Choice viands Of nearly every
description, sauces, jellies, wines,
&c, &C., composed the bill of fare.
They were well appreciated, for as
an Oskaloosian remarked, "We were
as hungry as bears" After the Ban
quet, speeches and toasts were in or
der. The party were then escorted
to the celebrated "Shaw's Garden"
where they feasted their eyes in
viewing the splendors ofthat magnifi-
cent place.
Having satisfied themselves with
sight seeing, many of the party took
the Thursday morning train and re-
turned to their homes. Others hav-
ing business to transact rem aimed I'M
til Thursday evening at seven
o'clock when all who remained took
the cars and started homewards. All
were well pleased and not one dispar-
aging word was heard and although
weary and sleepy-when human ma
ture is prone to find bad place, if
there be one,-there were no fault
findings, all was congratulation and
good h1mor. Among the Oskaloo-
slams were Mr.. Amos Kemble, who
doubtless has added much to his al.
ready extensive knowledge of ,ege-
table, fruit and floral culture, Mr. c.
Houtz, Peter Stumps, Mr.. and Mrs.
Warrington, John Swearingen, J. O.
Philips, and several others whose
names are not now recalled. As
financial affair the excursion was
doubly success, and we learn that
nearly or quite $4,000 were cleared
by the operation. To the splendid
and untiring energy of
Rev. G. w. Shaw, now of Bloom
field, formerly of Oskaloosa, is due
the great success of the excursion.

A WESTERN HERoINE.-A. .Schooimistress

two little boys were working at the black

above the heads of the little boys, received
the falling iron, and, by the utmost exercise
Of her strength, divided it from the line of

There is not the least doubt that, but for

The New York Post of Saturday evening
contained special telegram announcing that
President Grant having finally become coz
vinced that the San Domingo swindle could
not be put through. had given it up for a
bad job. The correspondent of the Post
claimed to speak by authority. and he also
annoanced that tho President was very sorry
that he had ever meddled with the concern.
If the Posts information should turn out to
be correct, says the Lancaster Mtelligencer,
the country will feel relieved and Grant will
