Otii, AC'O'
The Sabbath Schools of Middleway
had quite pleasant Pic Mic last Mon
day. The day was clear and pleasant
when in the shade, and the children en-
ioyed the day and its associations very
much.
The schools assembled'at the "W hlte
Church." about 8 A NJ, and marched
under the direction Of Capt Nelson, to
the grove of G. w. Anderson, ESQ,
where preparations had been made for
their intellectual as well as their physi-
steal entertainment, including an ample
supply of refreshments, intended express
" for the schools.
Reg. Jesse Porter, Of the Virginia
Conference, NJ. Z. Church, delivered an
address in the morning, and Rev. j. I.
HYDE, of the Baltimore Conference, NJ.
Z. Church South, made an interesting
and pleasant address in the afternoon.
The juveniles enjoyed both speeches:
The singing was under the direction
of Prof VIM. HopewelI, and OF course
it was we'll done, as that is always the
case when Mr. Hopewell has charge OF
that part of the programme.
The only accident during the day oc-
Cured to party from Leetown. ~
young gentleman, having two young
ladies in a light wagon, was driving to
the Pic Mic, and in turning into the
grove, the horse being somewhat res
tive, one of the ladies was thrown from
the wagon, but providentially she sus-
tanned no injury.
I was not so fortunate; | did not get
to the Pic Mic, but | got tumble from
the back of mule that evening, and L
fell upon my right hand, bruising that
important member considerably, and as
it is not yet well, it interferes with my
chyrography, but not to such an extent
rs did the bee -stings, received by Hans
Donder, his hand "git so shaky' that he
''speled not good the words yich he
rite" "Mine hand" is little "shaky,'
however, yet.
| was present at a meeting of the
Leetown Gold Water Temple, on Sat
urday evening last, and found it to be
much more interesting affair than |
had any idea Of Indeed | think thatit
is splendid thing for the youths to be
connected with, and believe that it
will be the means of doing much good.
We hope that all these Cold Water
Templars may make noble workers for
truth and temperance, and they already
give promise of being very successful
workers, in some respects at least, if the
gathering of the evening can be taken
as an indication of what may be expect
cd of them. We had the pleasure of
witnessing the reception OF nine new
members, which was quite large for a
single meeting. All the members seem
perfectly delighted with the order.
The officers for the present term are,
Charles E. Wageley, Chief Templar;
Georgiana Nicely, Vice Templar; John
III. Baldwin, Past Templar; Charles 5.
Watson, Recording Secretary; Thomas

Watson, G. w. Nicely, and Henry S.
League,
If you attend the Temperance Picnic
at Guffields OH Saturday next, we will
give you a chance 10 look at our Cold
Water Temple.
Some parties near here are i'll the
habit of throwing dead animals into the
Opequon, until the offence has become
almost intolerable to those living near
the stream. Yours, sc,
TEMPLAR.
