IFROM DAILY OF SATURDAY.
Snohomish Correspondence.

SNouoM1sH CRY, October 6, 1875.
Work was commenced on the athen-
aeum lot to-day, grading for the foun-
dation. The contract for sills and
other heavy timbers has been let. It
is nearly sure now that the society will
be able to occupy it own building this
winter. Work has also commenced on
Mr.. Edwards shoe-shop. The new
school-house will be completed next
week. The building to be occupied by
the county auditor. DR.. Folsom and
others, for offices, is being r.pidly fin-
nished. Carpenters are making the
most of what few fair days we have had
lately, and will have to be diligent in
future or the winter will over.ake them
with unfinished work on their hands.
Mr.. Mathews new dwelling is about
ready for tenant. He is having his lot
enclosed with a neat picket fence.
Three new settlers located last week
on Pill Chuck. Two of them have
families.
Yesterday as your correspondent was
about leaving Lowell, three men came
in from the neighborhood of Mr..
Hurst's rancho, where they had been
looking for claims. Did not learn
whether they located or not. Presume
lhey did.
Mr.. L. Hurley donated to the athen-
aeum some very excellent and very
large specimens of garnets. He brought
them all the way from Stickeen River,
on purpose for the society. The super
intendent of the scientific department
of the association, in behalf of the so-
ciety, tenders thanks for his kind re-
membrance when SO far away.
We are to have band, organized
under the leadership of W. H. Ward.
Some of the instruments are here now
and the balance are expected on the
next trip of the Yakima. That will help
out our athenaeum entertainments, es-
pecially the theatrical performances.

and unembarrassed and declaim- ed very we'll indeed. Tine sing ging by the choir was creditaple Tn high degree. It echoed in such sweetness as was never heard before in the romance ot that beautiful mountain scenery.
 But just before leaving the pic nic grounds about dozen of the little girls perched themselves up on a large rock at an elevation of 150 feet on the side of the noun tain and sang the sweetest piece of the day. Their voices rang clear and sweet along the gentle murmuring stream beneath. Ia ken all together the occasion was most happy one. And the zeal, energy and taste displayed by MT. James Potts, the superinten- dent, is worthy of the highest commendatlon. If there were more of such influences at work and more of such examples set, the world would be the better for if.

RUssELLvILLE, June 27, 1875,

MR. EDITOR: I left home last Saturday for the purpose of ex- tending the borders of the order of Good Templars in the region beyond Dover. Here, at the table of my old true and tried friend, J. c. Rye, l satisfied an angry ap- petite with everything good to the taste. From this place in company with Capt. Rollow, Ca true friend ofhumanity and other friends interested in spreading the cause of temperance and bringing comfort, peace and pros perity into the families of many, who by the free use of whiskey, have known everything that makes up wretchedncss and mis- cry. We reached Scottsville Ca place proverbial for intoxication ] in due time, and found pleasant quarters at MT. J. F. Iale's, who by the way is the chief officer and q practical granger of the lodge at this place (Scottsville. ] We all shared of the Inequalities of our friend MT. Hale (which were by no means scarce) who with others, did all they could to har- monize our efforts and make our mission one of success, which was grandly realized in the number initiated of good men and women who all seemed eager to seize the opportunity as one favorable to Scottsville and community for be- ginning life anew, by endeavoring to raise the fallen, prevent others from falling, drying up the tears and relieving the groans of the unfortunate mother, and misera
 ble child of the inebriatc.

Neidig and all his friends who may be seeking new homes to our county, and hope they may never have cause to regret their choice.

X DAY IN THE COUNTRY. The Cove Sunday School.
A Picnic Among the Mount. ains---Bcautifui Scenery--- Splendid Springs of Ice Cold Water, and
 plenty of Good
 Things to Eat.

The recreation of day spent in the country is certainly very enjoyable to the cooped up in habitant of Q town or city.
 A polite invitation from the Superintendent of the Cove Sun day School-our genial young friend Mir. James I. Potts--to at tend a picnic to be given last Saturday by his school, away up in the spur of mountains known as the Carrion Crow Ridge, there fore brought anticipations of a good time to yc editor.
 So when the day arrived we were on hand.
 Arriving at the Cove School house we found that the school, some so or 90 in number, had just formed in line and taken up their line of march to the spot chosen for the picnic.
 Joining the superintendent, we brought up the rear, and after q drive ofsome two miles up Galla Creek, through canon or noun tain gorge, the procession came to q halt. Here we all dismounted, the route being no longer practi- cable for the passage of wheeled vehicles, and even the footman having to make careful selections for his footing over the rugged and picturesque mountain side along which we wound our way Finally after passing up the Creek on foot for perhaps half a mile, we found ourselves at the locality SC lected for the festivities. And tc the lover of the grand and pictur. esqe scenery of nature, this wild and romantic spot was certainly full of interest. Threading its way through the narrow mountain pass, dashing and sparkling ovel it's rocky bed, wound the creek on the very banks of which oul grounds were chosen. Rising high above on either side, tower ed the rugged mountain summit Proceeding from the foot of the rugged nights on our right and close to the ground cleaned of for the exercises, issued a clear sparkling, ice-cold spring which furnished abundance of water tc the thirsty multitude.
 Huge blocks and slabs of stone scattered around, and no doubt in ages past detached from the frowning cliffs above, served fol tables on which to store the bas kets; and one large flat slab ele vated some two feet from the ground made the stage or ros trum from which the exercises were delivered.
 We found a concoursc of some 300 people on the ground consis ting of the Cove Sunday School and the parents and friends. A beautiful banner tastefully trim med, and bearing the motto Con sider the lilies of the Field," or one side, and "The Cove Sunday Schoop' on the other, was planted between two rocks and formed { handsome back ground.
 THE PROGRAMME:
 Opening prayer by Rev. w. J Dodson; Address, by Mir. Nicely Oats; Music, by the choir; Speech by Miss Polly Owen; Speech, by
