The picnic given by the Turner'S and
Beethoven Singing Society. at the Fair

nor did the shower deter them
from keeping the picnic up until
dark, after which time they ad-
journed to Turner Hall, where
they had ball. Every person who
attended this picnic expressed himself
delighted with the manner in which be
had passed the day.

AT MIGHT
the heavens fairly glistened with blazing
rockets, Roman candles and different
colored fires. Up town, citizens seemed
to have provided themselves with fire
works more generally than we ever
knew before, and some Of the displays
were most creditable.
IN SOUTH WHEELING
quite purse had been raised for the
purchase OF fireworks, and the gentle
men to whom the task OF providing
them had been entrusted seemed to
have selected the handsomest rockets,
Catharine wheels and other fireworks
to be found in the city. Their arrange
ments were well perfected and the dis
play passed off without accident. One
OF the principal events Of the evening
was the sending up Of fine balloon,
manufactured by DR.. Hazlett and S. L.
Brice. The balloon was made Of tissue
paper and was about seven feet in
height.
AT LEATHERW00D
there was a very handsome display
of fire works given, we understand by
the gentlemen who have country resi-
dencesin that beautiful locality. They
were not whit behind the display in
the city, either for extent or beauty.

inseperable from Fourth Of July ce'e-
brations and those of Thursday were
attended with mournful results.
One of the most melancholy was the
accident by which young man named
James Ayers was killed on the Hempdeld

from Valley Grove. as the expected ex-
cursion train came along. He made
jump to get on the cars, which were
not running at very high rate OF
speed, but missing his hold he fell I'M
der the train and was cut in two. His
remains were brought to the city on the
next train. He was learning his trade.
