r,,v P,cy1c AT Rock CREEK-We attended
.tie ncnic on last Saturday, and found it the
hoartjest, iolliest, home-lke feast and frolic we
have enjoyed for many day. There were long
,;ros Of tables groaning under everything that
ros rood for mankind, and every man, lady and
,bnd smiled welcome and bid all visitors to
feost drink and enjoy themselves, without money
and without price. The May Queen, Miss Rod
ccrs m adopted daughter of General and Mrs.
Tavlor. had been crowned, with appropriate
ceremonies, before arrived. We, however,
learned from a bystander an eyewitness of the
scene. the following particulars: The teacher
Mr. Darwin, at short distance from the grounds
where temporary throne was raised, formed
the school children in lines, then faced inwards
and formed lane. The Queen, with her maids
in character of nymphs, passed through, both
ranks wheeling at the same time inwards and
following close behind. Arriving at the throne the
Oueen. q maiden of twelve Summers so, sweet
md beautiful, and of unassuming modesty and
easy manners, took her seat thereon; her maids,
no less lovely, at the same time descending from
it. Maid number one addressing tho Queen
ut is the peoples wish sweet maid, that thou
shouldst be their Queen of May. Wilt thou so
be?" Queen bowing assent. Maid number two,
placing the rosy crown upon her head, spake:
Then, by this crown we make and crown thee
Queen of May" Both maids then stepping
backwards and bowling to the Queen cried out,
"All hail our noble Queen Long live our noble
Queen" The outside ring took up the choral
strain, and with their cheers made the wekin
ring. The Queen then arising delivered, with
GOOD grace and marked effect the following mod
est and pthy address:
Friends and dear schoolmates-The honor
YOU have conferred on me to-day, in making me
YOUR May Queen be well assured fully appre-
ciate, and thank you from the bottom of my
heart According to time -honored custom we
celebrate to-day with joyful sports and festive
songs, Marry Nay, and indeed it is meet that we
should SO DO, for at this season it would seem
that everything had put on its richest robes to
greet, it were, the long wished for coming.
The trees are robed in richest green the plains
and hllsides are deckcd with fairest flowers the
air is fraught with their sweet odors, and is tune
ful with the songs of birds. Why, then, should
not IRE come out with festive song and in our
glyest attire to bid her, too, hearty welcome.
As for me, my friends,
Tonight l shall sleep with this crown hanging
o'cr ne,
End breathing its fragrance like naiad or elf
! shall dream that my subjects are bowling be-
fore me,
and wake on the morrow to duty, myself"
fhe choir then sang the national anthem, with
few moro appropriate airs, and thus ended the
coronation. The various sports were then Wig
orously pursued until 5 o'clock when the pic
nickcrs retired to the Green Emigrant Hall,
where they We're for while anusingly enter
t"lned with jest and song alternately by the good
folks of Auburn, prominent among whom were
Comic Johnny and the facetious Tom Gordon.
Long, however, before night had drawn around
her her sable mantle voice was heard from one
Of the managers, "On with the dance, no rest till
morning. and surely no rest was there for "hy-
ing feet till the rosy fingered morn had long
ushered in the king of day AS this affair
managed entirely by committee of ladies great
fears are entertained thereabouts by the sterner
sex that, owing to its great success, a stimulus
nay be given to the new reform yclept Woman's
Rgdis In conclusion we would say that the floor
managers on this occasion were three of the boys
attending the school, and SO we'll did they act
tier part that not a growl was heard from any
quarter during the night, but on the contrary
an went merry a marriage bell" Rock
