ST. JAM Esq PICNIC.
ga delightful time!" Such was the
unanimous expression of all last even
ing on their return from the picnic al
Hunters Creek, given on st. Johns
Day by the Sunday School of st.
James Church. The juveniles had
been in anxious expectancy for days
for the time set for the picnic to arrive,
and early yesterday morning they as
sembled at the church in strong force
for the start. A number of large wag-
ons had been engaged for the occasion,
and at about 10 o'clock, everything be-
ing in readiness, the procession started
for the grounds, with a brass band
playing appropriate music and flags
flying as it passed through the town.
The day was passed in a enjoy
able manner, perfect harmony pre-
vailed and no accident occurred to mar
the pleasure. During the day, dancing
was INDUCED in at the pavilion and af-
fOrded great amusement for all; foot
racing, spoon and egg racing, croquet,
and a variety of other games, gave
ample opportunity to those seeking
recreation and DESTROYS of indulging i'm
sI.ch pastimcs. The adult portion of
our community was also largely rep
resented, the older folks seemingly en-
joying themselves full as well as the
little ones. Numerous tents were
placed about the grounds for the con.
venience of luncheon parties, but the
shady hooks, among the willows that

stream sufficiently large to admit of a
proposal or sentimental fiirtations,
seemed the most attractive, They
seemed to feel perfectly contented in
these quiet retreats. They
FELT their witchery
Through every sense. The perfume breath
ing round
Like a prevailing spiyit-the still sound
OF falling waters, lulling az tho song
Of Indian bees at sunset, when they throng
Around the fragrant ni!ica, and deep
In its blue blossoms hum themselves to
sleep!"
After passing the most of the day in
uninterrupted enjoyment the picnick-
ers prepared for their return home, all
arriving in town highly gratitied at the
successful termination of the festivities.
Great; credit is due to those having
charge of the affair for the excellent
management displayed.
