Editor RutAand Globe We were very
much surprised and somewhat mortified
this morning in reading the account OF pie
mic day in Wallingford, which we sent you
on Saturday evening last, to notice that we
neglected to say that the 'monster union
picnic" was composed of our East Wallng-
ford and Mcchanlcsville friends. who num-
bclel, as we stated, some one hundred
and fifty single, double and four horse
loads. They were accompanied by the
East Wallingford and Mechansville bands,
and made fine appearance on our streets,
which may truly be said to have been the
longest procession we ever witnessed in
Wallingford. Among them we noticed our
good looking friends of East Wallingford,
Mr.. Len Warner, proprietor of the East
Wallingford hotel, Evans Stewart, d. L.
Dawley and b. +. Parmenter of Mechanics
vile. AS regards the ladies they were all
good looking, so it will be unnecessary for
us to particularizc. Had our people under
stood that an invitation was extended them
to join with the 'union picnic" in having a
good time we would have endeavored to
had all turn out. As it was we did not get
word in season, so had to content our
selves with viewing their long procession.
Everything passed off quietly and agree
ably, aside from one or tive naughty boys
who imbbcd too much benzne, (Which al
low us to say was imported stuff, as Wal
lingford is free from all stimulating bev-
eragcs stronger than "Stanley's pop, y,
Said boys became trife quarrelsome, but
were quoted before any serious damage
was done. On Friday next the Baptist So
ciety of this place will hold picnic in E.
w. Kent's grove.

with lecture from Mr. f. j. Hyde OF
Hydesville, sometime during the month, Of
which due notice will be given.
