All that is ENJOYABLE in festivities of
that kind was abundantly provided and
served up to those who attended Father
Christy's picnic yesterday week We
never saw larger supply of good things

temperate, the music was good, and the
dancing and other pastimes were INDUCED

Like father, like son, " hasbeen strik-
! ingly exemplified, if allegations be true
| in a recent shooting affair at Atchison
Kansas, in which VIM. Marbourg, of
Jordan Marbourg, (who, it will be remem-
bered, was shot dead at the Johnstown
post-office, a number of years ago. by JOS

arm and shoulder by bullet from a pistol
in the hands of J. S. Hoke, formerly of
| Bedford county, this State, whose wife
Marbourg is alleged to have debauched.
Several shots were exchanged between the

What no doubt gave the parents of the
| little boys at Mt. GallitZin Seminary pc
culiar pleasure, on Thursday last, was the
neat, tidy and healthful appearance they

prove The little fellows did exceedingly
well in all their parts, considering their eX
treme youth and the natural modesty OF
childhood, and altogether the Third An
nual Commencement at Mt. Gallitzin Sem
mary was alike ereditable to the juvenile:
who participated and to the good Sisters
in charge, who know so well how to cult
vate the minds and for souls anc
bodies of children committed to their keep
ing. May it ever be thus with Mt. Galllt
Yin and its Youthful happy scholars.
