CINCINNATI, O., June 29, IA.

NO scnool boy ever looks lorWsru
with greater pleasure and expectation
to his vacation than do the people Of
the Queen City long for their summer
holiday. Merchants, grocers, lawyers
judges and clerks labor the year round
with longing for the warm days tc
come, that they may go into the coun-
try, take an excursion, and 60 to tie

on the bosom Of the picturesque river
to spend a romping day,
For the 4th OF July pic mics are an

woods for twenty miles around the
city. And then too crowd viii

"Come what come may,
Time and the hour run through the rough
est day."
