Hired but happy" we'll expresses the feeling with which we all returned home from our Union Sunday School picnic, last Thursday. We met in Peck's grove which willing hands had cleared and pre- pared for the occasion. A threatened shower caused the managers to call us to the table about half-past two. And here we were disappointed, for with our best efforts We were not able to clear the board of the good things provided. With ad- dresses, recitations, swinging, and plenty of singing, in which those present joined with a will, the afternoon passed pleasant ly. If some things occurred which your correspondent has omitted to mention, are they not recorded in the diaries of those most concerned? All present voted our gathering success and resolved that in 1874 they would meet again in like manner. ~.-.

IN CAMP IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS, Aug, 2.-Here we are 7,5OO feet high, among the mountains. Yesterday we left Denver, and came by Colorado Central R. R. to Floyd Hill: part of the distance narrow guage, rising in one case, 240 feet per mile. e
 Our party consists of thirty persons be- side teamsters, cooks, &c. We have ten 2-horse wagons, covered, and three tents. We carry two cooking stoves, and all the material for ten days camping Tn the mountains.
 At Floyd Hill our wagons awaited us, having left Denver the day before. Thence it was mostly up hill to this place. Here is fine mountain-brook, very cool and clear. We slept, last night, in tents, and in the wagons. There is no frost to be seen, but it is cold enough for one, and the mountain tops are clad with snow. There is good road here, also large steam saw-mill, cutting up the timber that ''Uncle Sam" has at enclosed. There is some farming. Oats, barley and pota- toes, grow we'll wherever there is soil. The mountains are mostly bare rock. The field where we camp is covered with thin grass and weeds, and the horses and mules were tethered or allowed to range. This evening they are gathered in for feeding.
 Cactus of various, curious forms is abundant, with many beautiful flowers. There is a shower every day, which pre-. vents dust, but is unpleasant as we have no change of boots, or clothing. The sun is hot at midday, but we wear our thick winter clothing. A Yours &c., T. s. GoLD.
