largest water ptcncs ever held on the Hudson, and
yet the most perfect order was manifested, owing
to the discipline kept on board OF said barges by
the different Irish military organizations, who
were in gO0dly force and uniformed. At the Grove
picnic parties wandered in the shade and sat on
the grass discussing the contents OF capaci-
GUS baskets and large TASKS. There were,
to add TO the other festivities real, Irish bag

necessarily, furnishing their peculiarly delicious
music TO the hundreds OF men and women who
danced Irish jigs, reels and old fashioned break
downs. 1t was really exciting to see fine, healthy
and pretty girl exhaust three or four partners In
the wild Irish jig. There was very exciting con-
test for q cup In o breakdown between Private
Roger O'Donoghue, OF the Irish Volunteers and
Private Newman, and the contest lasted
for about twenty minutes. 1t was finally
decided by competent judges that New
man had shown the most fantastic and
intricate steps, while O'Donoghue had
done the hardest work. Private Thorne, OF the
volunteers also danced match with Mrs. McCor.

hao no takers, and he was forced to dance for
mere amusement which he did without clogs.
He performed some astounding feats amid much
applause. IL was quite late last night before the
excurstonists were enabled to make the last land
ing at Greenpoint, but they all seemed highly
pleased with the days enjoyment.

The trial OF Governor Moses for grand larceny,
which was set down for Friday at OrangeburQ did
not take place, in consequence OF the absence Of
the accused. The Solicitor for the State asked for
a warrant OF arrest but the Court refused 1t. The
counsel for Moses then moved to strike the case
from the Docket on the ground that the Governor
cannot be indicted and tried for any crime before
impeachment. The Court reserved Its decision on
the point and postponed the case till the next

as substantially triumph for Noses.

And SO while | would say that good man
and a good family, planted in a country
town, or on heather shore, can do by the
quiet exhibition of purity, of industry, of
neatness, of order, of economy, of simplicity,
a world of good, l would also say that the
man who can lift up his voice and speak of
these things, and of things higher than these,
of goodness and faith, of prayer, who can
speak of God and his Christ, can by his very
words, move hearts and draw lives, far be-
yond him who has only silence for his ally
If then good carpenters, wheelrights, black
smiths, farmers, are necessity in our towns
and villages, by how much more are minis
tiers needed, to speak of God and his saliva
ton. The one man who is needed more than
all others in our new settlements and in our
old and decayiDg villages, is man of God,
of prayer, of faith, of Unborn, and as the
Germans say of kernhatt honesty, true no
Bile soul, having knowledge, culture, growth,
sympathy, and the power of speech to bring
out into utterance all these grand gifts of
God, and enforce them on the hearts of those
who are dead in trespasses and sin. w.
