Pleasant Excursion.

Pleasant Excursion.
WEST VAUDEVILLE, Aug. 2S, 1871.
The Free Baptist Sunday School of this
placs went on picnic excursion to Blakes
island in Snow Pond, last Wednesday. The
weather was delightful. At quite an early
hour large number of the school and friends
assembled at the church, with light hearts,
and anxious for the hour of starting to arrive
At o'clock all started for the island, arriy-
ing there at half past nine, after pleasant
trip which all seemed to enjoy very much
The island is a beautiful place for picnic,
Astounding in shade trees and berries, and far
enough from the main land that all may en-
Joy good sail in getting there. The grounds
were nicely fitted up with swings, croquet
sets, &c, which the children (some gray
headed ones) enjoyed very much. A large
quantity of fish we're caught near the island
and bOuntiful chowder, with other refresh
ments, was served at one o'clock. At half
past o'clock they started for home, arriving
there in safety at s o'clock, all having had a
good time, and nothing having occurred to
mar the enjoyment of the day. Z.

Democratic County Convention.

Democratic County Convention.
Yesterday was proud day for Augusta.
Seeing notice that the democracy of this
county were summoned to meet in convention
at Waverly Hall, yesterday at one o'clock p.
M, we repaired to that place at precisely that
hour, and found friend Staples brushing the
dust from the seats and sweeping the floor.
Four settees were brought into the auditorium,
which nember was deemed sufficient for the
purposes of the convention; on the stage was
displayed piece of scenery calculated to
bring tears to the eyes of the virtuous democ-
racy. Black and blue sky overhung garden
in which were trees growing out of check
cred oil cloth carpet, with fish hawks or owls
perched among the branches. A fountain
representing Divine's water works was play
ing in the midst of the garden, the whole
overlooked and guarded by statue of the
Goddess Diana, in tights. The latter figure
attracted particularly the attention of Frank
Davis, who was among the first to enter the
hall.
Half an hour passed, and the unterrified
began to drop in, one by one, and form them
selves in graceful groups about the hall. Live
ly conversation ensued. The 'yeomanry"
grasped each others muscular fists in con-
gratulations.

eyes, and strong duty, too" was the re.
ply.
The odor of the gentleman's breath made
the remark very emphatic.
1t was indeed unfortunate in calling the
convention to meet at such place. Each
plank in the floor of the cid hall told of the
suffering of soldier boys; for during the war,
here were quartered the sick from the hospit-
ais in the city. 1t was rather too suggestive
place in which to meet, and some of the
delegates felt it as they stepped lightly on the
floor. The room must have been to them as
cherries as a sepulcher, and fraught with
memories of the ''little unpleasantness" which
the democrats are so anxious to forget.

Important Railroad News.

The following cheerful telegram
 appeared in The San Diego Union of
 July G.:
 SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-The news
 from New York is exceedingly good. The work of railroad consolidation Is now about finished. The Executive Committee of the Texas Pacific will meet in few days for final arrange ments. Railroad men may be ex- pected in San Diego some time this month. It is certain that the work
 will begin at San Diego this Sum- mer. It Is also certain tat the Coast
 line road from San Diego north will
 be built. All rumors and reports to the contrary are utterly false, and are circulated by enemies of San Diego, who are in the pay of the Central Ring. The Texas Pacific is the strongest organization ever formed in this country. The Directors. are men of business. San Diego has been in their programme frun the in- ception and nothing can change that programme. Iknow whereof speak Let there be no particle of doubt among our people. Within the next twelve weeks San Diego will have entered upon 8 season of prosperity and en- terprise such as has not yet been known there. As to the depot. l can say, that while National City's interests will bs assured, New San Diego will be in no wise neglected. It IS prob able that the first work will be done on the railroad lands in New Town. General Sedgwick will be prominently connected with the engineering that is certain. He will probably be Chief Engineer of the Western Divi- sion, with headquarters at San Diego. The Union has never deceived the people on railroad news; it has been rel1a ble from the beginning. Its record of last Winter speaks for itself, and now what is here given may be de- depended upon as exaggerated i'll no point, and as from an authoritative source. DOUGLAS GUNN.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

We reprint dispatch to the Sa1 Diego Union, sent by the editor ot that paper from San Francisco, whicf speaks very hopefully of early work on the Texas Pacific Railway. Some impatience has been manifested at the apparent do-nothingness of the Com pany since its organization. If thai dispatch do not err, it indicates won. derful activity on the part of the con- pany. The new company had many interests to reconcile and purchase be- fore it were safe to proceed. A num- Der of franchises had been granted in one or another form over almost every inch of the route, and some O1 the holders cared nothing for the pub- lie interests or the prosperity of ths Texas Pacific. They felt that the road would be built by others, and that as their rights would be con- venient if not necessary to the new company, they would realize as largely as possible either in cash down, o1 prospective privileges. It was quite natural this state of affairs should ap- pear, and just as natural that the Texas Pacific company would not sub- init to any unreasonable exactions, or any exactions at all, beyond what they could avoid by some delay.
 Aside from these obstacles to active operations on the line, there are hun- dreds of matters of great importance necessary to be arranged beforehand. In this age of immense achievements, the dear public get anxious over even obvious delays. In fact, many curse anything or place they see or examine, which lacks perfection. Take the mass of the American people, and but few Pilgrims such as landed on Ply mouth Rock could be found among them. A vast majority of those who now leave the Eastern States in search of homes westward, would not have remained and made 8 vast country i'll New England, had they occupied the Pilgrims places. Nearly all are look ing for ready made homes, with vines, fruits, flowers, &c, .toI be had for the taking.
 The railway men will only delay the work on the Southern road so much as may lest promote the companys interests; and if anybody is green enough to suppose they will hurry construction in the lone interest of the public, all such have need of light on the moving motive of all deliberate business men and organizations. The road will come along in time, but we see DO way to hurry it faster than its managers please to rush it.

A GRAIN OF FROGSo IN ARI.
 IONA.

The phenomenon familiarly known
 as the "rain of frogs" has been
 ridiculed and contradicted by certain
 scientists; nevertheless, there is abun-
 dant proof to show that it has occur
 red, and probably will again. In
 1864, the writer, in company with
 some fifty other travellers, had per-
 sOnal experience of the fact. We were
 in Arizona, not less than twenty miles
 from any stream, pond or water.
 The day was extremely sultry, and
 we had halted to let the animals graze
 and rest for an hour or two. Not &
 living thing besides ourselves and
 horses was in sight, and certainly no
 frogs were hopping over the rich,
 tufted granamaa-grass, which covered
 the ground for miles in every direction.
 Suddenly dense, black cloud made
 its appearance. and it soon began to discharge copious rain upon our un-
 sheltered heads. The drops were very
 large, and the water qulet warm.
 Nearly every person wore broad
 brimmed felt hat, which proved a
 great protection against the rain as
 we'll as against the sun Our atten- tion was soon arrested by the pelting
 of something which struck our hats
 like hail, but which proved to be frogs,
 and in less than two minutes the grass
 was fairly alive with those creatures.
 Several of the party took some from their hat-rims. Our unexpected visi- tors were all of one size, about quar- ter of an inch long from nose to trump,
 very lively, and apparently in the
 best condition. Their fall had been
 broken by the springy, resilient na- ture of the grass. It Is not probable that several hundred thousand, per haps millions, of frogs had suddenly
 been matched into life in the ground
 by the rain, or, if they had, that in their infantile glee they jumped five feet eleven inches from the earth to the top of our heads merely to show how the game of leap- frog should be played. Nor had they any such caudal appendages as are generally to juvenile rana. They came from above in company with the rain and this tact was made clear by hold ing out the hand and seeing thelh fall upon it, as we'll as finding them on our hat-rims. The eggs from which these reptiles sprung, had undoubtedly been drawn up into the atmosphere by the action of a water-spout and held in suspension with aqueous par ticles long enough to hatch them out and give them perfect form then, by the force of mutual attraction, the particles of yapor got to- gether ill such masses as to form heavy sheets of water, which, i'll turn, be- came amenable to the law of attrac- tion of grGvitation, returning to the eartE from whence 1t had been drawn. In the fall new divisions were created, called "drops," among which the frogs descended, having been, obedient to similar forces, moving with the aqueous particles. This instance is l cited to show that other things besides vapor are translated from earth to at by certain well-known and accredited developments of natural laws.- From "Aerolites," in the July l Overland Monthly.

UNDER head of Slightly Mixed, " we find the following, and print it as a sort of offset to the bull we made last week. wherein we spoke of John W. Sweeney as father -in-l law instead of son-in-law.
 A friend who married widow, ex- plains as follows how he got mixed up in his relationship: Il married d widow who had & grown up daugh- ter. My father visited our house often. fell in love with my step daughter and married her. So my father became my son-in- law, and my step-daughter my mother, because she was my fathers wife. Some time afterwards my wife had son he was my fathers and my uncle, for he was the brother of my step-mother. My fathers wife, that is my step-daughter. had, also, son; he was, of course my brother, and in the meantime my wife became my grandmother, because she was my mothers mother, and l was my wife's husband and grandchild at the same time. And as the husband of persons grandmother is bis grandfather, am my own grand father"

CIRCULATE THE DOCUMENTS.

The Real Estate Agents of the City
of Portland have presented to the
Council of that City petition asking
for the publication, at the city's ex.
pense, of fifteen thousand copies of the
4" Prize Essay on Oregon" to be circu-
lated by those interested in brin :ging
emigration and capital to our STATE.
This should be promptly attended to.
With the advantages of both soil and
climate which our State possesses, we
must increase rapidly in population
and wealth, when the advantages are
once thoroughly understood. We trust
this petition will be promptly complied
with, and the inevitable result secured
IA dense population in our fertie val
leys; rapid development of both agri.
cultural and mineral resources, and
then Oregon will assume the high po-
sition among the States to which she is
certainly entitled.
