Upon the passage Of the GRIFPIrH bill, prOvi-
ding for an additional Judge in Toledo, lit q
tilt occurred between two Democratic members
in which they became personal and twitted upon
facts. Mr.. BARBER, of franklin, opposed the
bill, which induced Mr.. CALLEN, of Mercer to
remark that Columbus has more Judges than
Toledo, although, to make an equal population,
the former city had counted in idiots and peni-
tentiary conyicts, Mr.. BARRIER retorted that the
gentleman was mistaken, and that the idiots now
within the limits of Columbus are such as have
been sent 10 the Legislature. "Then," said Mr.
CALLEN, the people of Franklin county are to
blame for taking an idiot that ought to be in the
asylum and sending him 10 the General Assem-
bly,"

GERMAN SCHOOL PICNIC.
A Large Crowd and Interesting Occa
sion.


The German school picnic in Flora
Garden, yesterday and last evening, was
certainly as successful as its projectors
could have wished.
About halfpast nine the school children,
carrying banners, wreaths and boquets,
were marched to the grounds in charge of
Prof. Wirsching, Dr. Wadgymar and
Mr.. William Alba. A brighter looking lot
Of youngsters never marched through the
streets Of Cairo. Reaching the garden they
abandoned themselves to such sports and
rccreatiOns as had been provided, or as the
occasion and surroundings suggested, and,
during the live-long day the neighborhood
was made vocal by the sounds of mir,h and
laughter.
The attendance Of parents was large.
Indeed larger or happier crowd of men,
women and children, never assembled in
Flora Garden. Carriages and spring wag-
on. ran TO and fro between the city and the
picnic grounds during the afternoon and
evening every trip out contributing ten or
throng already gathered
Isenberg's string band furnished music
not ill-naturedly and sparingly; but
cheerfuily, abundantly, and Of the best
kind, The German gleeclub were present,
and sang number Of popular German
songs in style that would be difficult to
surpsss. Their singing elected encomi-
ums from almost everybody, and formed
one Of the most enjoyable features of the
occasion.
The ladies to whom was charged the
management of the flower and "com-
missary" department. discharged their
trust most satisfactorily. There was an
abundance of edibles, luxuries as we'll as
substantials, and all of the very best
On all sides there was disposition to
please the children, and nothing that could
contribute to that end was left undone,
The best of feeling prevailed. Every
body was very sociable, very genial, affa-
BILE, good natursd and unsel6sh, rendering
themselves happy by contributing to the
happiness Of others.
At night the crowd was entertained by
several beautiful tableaux shown in the
glare of red light; by music, fireworks,
etc. the whole forming an entertainment
that was much enjoyed by everybody on
the ground.
The Trustees of the German school So
ciety, the patrons Of the school, male and
female, labored assiduously tor the success
of the affair, and who shall say that their
labors were not successful Certainly no
one who was there to share in the enjoy
ments of the day, and to judge for HIM
self.
