A PLEASANT AFFAIR.-Was the
picnic given on last Saturday by the
young ladies of Scranton Academy,
and to which we were honored with
an invitation.
We use tie term "honored" in its
full Specification, for tue young ladies
rlgldly excluded all "horrid' adult
masculines. and alone,Iin our favor
the stringent resolution was gracious
ly amended, and an entree granted
to their charming circle and pleasant
rural sports ; and amid the ease JOY
BUSINESS, absence OF restraint, and
sweet abandon in which the day was
passed did we renew our youth as we
participated in their games aud plays.
The spot, a more lovely one il could
not be possible to find, was worthy OF
The surroundings and The fair crea-
lures who sporled beneath the wide-
spreading branches OF the venerable
oaks which covered the ground. and
10 The Mesdames Coulter were we In
aebted for permission to occupy it.
10 the Committee OF Arrangements
ana chief movers in the affair-Missess
Laura Rsmsay, Bella Mcdonald and
Minnie smitb-much praise lie due for
Their management. arrangement of
The table. and devotion to the pleas
ure and comfort OF the others. The
'aole was most abundantly supplied
and indeed nothing was wanting to
fcpder the affair most enjoyable and
complete success, and when the
young ladies determine 10 give an
o'her they may consider us In.
The yonsg gentlemen Of the acad-
e@y who seryed on sob committees,
and who prepared the table, seats &c.
sO'y discharged their respective du-
ties.

A Tall Chimney Strengthened i'm Novel
Way.

The lofty chimney stack at Messrs
Peter Mathews 4 Sons chemical works
AZ Pitchcombe, Gloucesiers hire, say.
the London Budding Ncws, has lately
become very much cut of perpendicu.
lar, but, almost without any building oi
engineering work being carried out, the
stack has been brought back 90 its orr
ginal position. The stack is 1872 feet
high, and was built IN 1862 by Mr..
Gideon Morris. Ii had gradually fallen
from lis upright position, and Mr. Au-
gustus Mathews consulted Mr.. III. j..
Taylor, electric engineer, of Nailsworth,
who tested lis position and found it 10
be feet 10 inches ont of perpendicular,
but undertook To restore il 10 its origin
al position by a process requiring no
scaffolding. The terms were agreed
upon, and accordingly Mr. Taylor com
menced operations 4 few weeks ago,
assisted by three workmen. The chin
ney l. Of an octagonal shape, and the
operations Of Mr.. Taylor consisted in
cutting ont one course Of bricks from
five of the sides, and inserting a thinner
course, and then letting the chimney
fall upon the latter and pull itself up
right. For this purpose he erected a
platform about 40 feet from the base.
anu with hammers and chiSels he and
his men cut through the chimney, which
at this point was Of the thickness Of
about feet. As the bricks were re-
moved from each side, thinner course
was substituted. and the intervening
spaces were filed with iron wedges.
This work lasted for about three weeks,
and unfortunately the wind was most
unfavorable, being frequently very bOis-
ferrous. and naturally causing consider
able alarm, both to MIR Matthews and
the veniuresome engineer himself. How
ever, the chimney stood through il all,
and when every thing was in readiness
the wedges were withdrawn by Mr..
Taylor and his three men, and the stack
was brought whitman inch or two Of
It's perpendicular position. The finish
inc stroke was performed on the even
ing of the 9Th int II required nice
TO carry out this work, and
Mr.. Taylor IS complimented on the eN-
actness with which he did il. lie esti-
mated that a quvter Of an inch would
bring over the stack about : inches al
the top, so that he had to let it down
about an inch and half, and had he
exceeded his calculation bv 0ne-eighth
of an inch, the stack would have been
brought too far over. and there j. little
doubt that it would have completely
COLLAPSED, and killed those on the spot
who were removing the wedges

In yesterdays WeSfern Doily Prise
there Is long list Of sentences passed
on persons convicted AT the last Gloces-
tershre Sessions, just concluded have
made the following extracts:
:" John Wheeler, Is, laborer. wears
penal serNitude and 8 years supervi-
sion, for stealing a shovel, the property
Of .Iosep Inglcs, AT Cheltenham.
" William Pace, IL, collier, years
penal servitude. for stealing fowl. the
property of Christopher Hale, of West
Dean
- Henry Wood, p, clothworker. G
months, Tor unlawfully assaulting Caro-
line Workman, with intent, AT King
STANLEY"
surely there must be something very
wrong either in the law itself or in the
al ministration of the law if sentences
SO out of all proportion To their ollcnses
have been really passed upon John
W heller and William Pace-bo,h Of
them only lads. Surely, also, the honor
Of the women Of the working classes
must be held very cheap if, having been
weighed IN the scale of justice with
shovel and a fowl, il is valued at only six
months Imprisonment As compared
with seven years penal seryitude. No
wonder. il the report OF the above sen
tence be correct, that the working
classes complain Of Justices Justice.
No wonder that assaults, both ON the
life and honor Of woman, are at present
SO brutal and frequent As to be dis
grace To the country. A one who. il i
well known. has the confidence Of the
working classes, ! may, perhaps. be
permitted (as | have already done in
more than one previous instance) To call
public attention 10 this. which does. To-
outsiders. appear serious miscarriage
to Justice.
