BnooKFmlp. Fourth WIS very appiolh-
ately celebrated on Saturday, the ID, BY giving
the children of the common schools picnic which
was SO conducted by the very unprctondng, but
efficient superintendent, as not only 10 afford the
scholars a very wholesome recreation and enter
iAlnment, but also 10 stimulate them in their pur-
suit OF knowledge, which IL the only safeguard Of
our liberties. The several schools, with their
teachers, appeared by turn ON the stand, and
showed, by their brief rcctations and exercises
that they had been dilligeut and faithful aud
well deserved the treat which was provided for
them. Mr. Edward tonant the State Supern-
tendent OF Education was present, and delivered
short but very comprehensive and interesting
address Music was furnished by the liroOkhod
Cornet Band IL being their first appearance In
public, and they did themselves much honor, con
sidering the short time thoy have been in practice
There was also vocal and Instrumental music by
some OF the schools, which was worthy OF COM
mendable notice. At the close Of the literary en-
tertainment, the large assembly we're invited TO
partakc OF a feast of good things, with which tho
tables were bountiinlly supplied and adorned, and
which was far from being the least attractive fea-
ttre Of the occasion In short there seemed 10 be
nothing wanting to make II day OF genuine on
jOyment 10 those who were pTesent-the weather
being very favorable, the grove beautiful, aud
everything so happily conducted, that II any one
went away without feeling they had had thor
oughly good time, they must hold themselves re-
sponsible for IT, II is estimated that one thou
sand people were present

prise, II being the tenth anniversary of their mar
ria.e. nice center table, and numerous arti-
cles OF tin ware, We're brought In by the many
