MAINE PRAIRIE.

MAINE PRAIRIE, July 9Th, 1875.
EDITOR JouRNAL.-The Picnician Socie-
ty of Maine Prairie, held its annual festi-
val on Saturday, July Sd, in E. II. At
woods beautiful grove on the bank of Pearl
Lake. The committee Of arrangements had
fixed up The grounds in fine style with seats
and tables, and placed the speakers stand
directly across the old
SIOUX INDIAN TRAIL
along which many brave has Travelled on
his bloody forays against the no less bloody
Chippewas near by. Little Crow and his
band of cut-throats camped here in the win
ter of 1862, for the purpose Of hunting deer
We little thought az we mingled among
them at that time, in fancied security, that
in less than six months they would strew
the plains with the corpses of two
thousand slain and lay desolate the whole
| frontier.
But to return to
THE FESTIVAL.
On account Of the rain in the morning, the
programme was changed and dinner was the
| first thing in order, and say enough about
it when I say that it was prepared by the
ladies Of the Picnician Society. After
dinner we had the pleasure of listening to
an Grafton from Bishop B. U. Watkins
which was considered equal if not superior
to any of his former efforts. Elder Shoe
maker, Mrs. DR.. Watkins, NJ. Greedy, Mrs.
Butler, DR.. Coats and D. G. Keefe made
short and pertinent speeches, interpreted
with music from the choir. DR.. S. F.
Brown acted as Marshal of the Day. Many
thanks are due T. B. Standley who was on
hand with his large
| SAIL BOAT,
the dolly Varden," and took load after
load around the lake. There was stiff
breeze and the boat, capable of holding for
ty or fifty persons, made splendid time.
Mrs. DR.. Watkins created good deal of
excitement without charging for it. She had
been riding out With Harry Atwood in a
row boat, and when within about ten rods
Of the shore she undertook to change her
position; the boat gave sudden lurch, and
precipitated her
! INTO THE WATER.
Harry saw her danger before she fell and
sprang to save her, but was caught by one
of the oars and nearly thrown in himself,
but recovered, caught her by her dress as
she was about sinking beneath the waves
and drew her to the boat. Meanwhile the
women on shore were shrieking and wiring
ing their hands, and number of the men
were rapidly divesting themselves of their
superauous clothing, but ere they had plung-
ed in to the rescue she had regained her
feet and was standing in water about three
feet deep,

found it to be possible to draw but one
class, Class No, l, the prizes in which con.
sisted of tickets in the other four classes.
The further drawing was postponed until
Monday.
The first race was trotting race best 2
in 3, mile heats $75 to first $50 to I'd,
Thielman entered CHI. m. Dusty.
Corbett entered blk. m. Daisy.
Daisy won the pole. The horses started
well, but Dusty broke on the LIST quarter,
so that Daisy led on the I'd f.; Dusty again
broke, the black keeping the lead and COM
ing IN four lengths ahead in 3:17.
The chestnut again broke, but soon got
down to work, and led on the third quar-
ter, but breaking again gave Daisy the ad-
vantage, which she improved by coming in
two lengths ahead in 3:ls, thereby winning
the race.
For the running race, 9.mile, best in 3,
there were three entries.
Gilman entered Pocohontas.
Coates Modoc.
Boyd Curley.
Pooohontas took the lead and kept it,
winning the heat in minute. Healso won
the second heat, in SO sec onds, taking the
first money $25; Curly I'd, SIS; Modoc
Sd, $40.
Modoc made bad work each time. On
the first heat he threw his rider, Ed.
Green, and rising up on his hind legs,
dashed one Of his fore feet against one Of
Green's ears, tearing it almost off,
the other foot striking his breast. 1t was
thought for short time that Mr.. G. was
dead, and it was some minutes before
he recovered consciousness. The next rider,
John Zimmerman, "Modoc" threw over hif
head and over the inside railing of the
track. Still another rider, JOS. Kramer
tried the ugly creature, and was promptly
sent flying through the air, getting off with
dislocated wrist.
Ed. Capple and Dan. Delany entered
their thoroughbreds for one mile DASH
running-the owners riding. Capple'e
steed bolted on the home stretch, and De-
lany came off victor in $40!
The display Of fireworks IN the evening
was witnessed by an immense crowd Of
people, and in variety and effect was much
beyond what had generally been anticipated
1tpassed off very successfully, and reflected
great credit on the liberality Of Capt. West
and the skill of the manufacturer, VIM.
schmotter, of Ottowa, who was present.
On Sabbath the grounds were open, and
music was furnished. Many people went
out.
On Monday the drawing of the prizes was
resumed. The attendance was almost as
great as on Saturday. A number of tickets
remaining unsold, prizes to correspond
in value were retired. The drawing &C.
cupied the entire day. 1t was conducted in
open view Of all, by persons selected by the
ticket holders themselves, under the super
vision of the Committee. The fairness of
everything connected with it we have not
heard. questioned. 1t may be said that
the Committee and those holding the largest
number of tickets drew the fewest and least
valuable prizes. We give herewith the re-
ar1t If tho drawino.

PAYNEsv1LLE, July 9th, 1875.
EDITOR JouRNAL.-Yesterday was ap-
propriately celebrated by the people of this
locality. At the picnic grounds the Declar-
alton of Independence was read by J. L..
Brady, the Principal of our graded school,
and the Grafton, delivered by the Rev. Mr.
Pike, of Sank Centre, was appropriate to the
occasion and was listened to with the ut
most attention by the large number of peo-
pie present. At 2 o'clock, in accordance
with the announcement of Capt. Lovelace,
Marshal of the Day, company of raga-
mullins appeared and went through their
ridiculous performances. Sentiments were
afterwards offered and responded to az
follows:
''The flag of our country"
By DR.. Riley.
''The Grange"
By the Rev. Mr.. Roach.
"Education."
By il. Brady.
sabbath Schools"
BY the Rev. Mr.. Waldron.
Music was furnished by the band and
choir at intervals.
The crowd afterwards adjourned to the
race course which is near the picnic
grounds. A ball at the hall in the evening
closed the celebration, which appeared to
be enjoyed by Ml.
The cropsare looking well-never looked
better at this season Of the year. The hop
pers are few, and the farmers fear nothing
from them.
We feel considerable interest in the St.
Cloud and St. Peter railroad and hope for it's
speedy completion. The proposed road
from Minneapolis to Glenwood would pass

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.

. Last Tuesday the Democrats of Stearns
county met IN mass convention to elect
thirteen delegates to attend the State Con-
vention at St. Paul. Going to the Court
House at the appointed time, we found
Bro. Macdonald, of the Times, in the chair
gazing serenely upon the multitude of eight
persons that packed the room. John l..
Wilson felt the responsibility Of accurately
taking down the proceedings as Secretary
of the masses. G. F. Macdonald, G. Geissel,
P Brick, J. L. Wilson and M. Wetzel Of
81. Cloud; w. T. Rigby and T. Heaton, of
Lynden, and w. Murphy and M. Reinard,
ofAvon, filled .thehall to suaocation. Messrs.
Geissel, Rigby and Murphy were selected
from the surging multitude to report the
names Of thirteen persons to be delegates.
1t was thought better to do this than to SUBJ
NIT the matter to the action of the entire
Convention. These gentlemen made their
way through the throng and squeezed into
a corner. Alter due elaboration and when
a. great degree Of quiet a. was possible
had been secured, the Committee reported
