rsE PICNIC
Eishs Carloads or Kerry Chiidrsn
Dound 20 Make Jolly Nay 81 10.

Notwithstanding the inolemency oil
the weather during the last forty-eight
hours, and the chilliness Of this morn
ing. a large concoune Of people. mostly
ladies and children. went 10 the picnic
at tho brunswick mill to-day. As early
~ z o'clock in the morning some Of the
more eager young people were ut tho
Virginia depot, waiting and wishing for
the train TO start. Three fat cars. with
seats arranged for tho occasion, and two
picnic cars were taken 10 Virginia last
night for the accommodation OF to-day's
party. These being exposed 10 the
rain storm Of last night. and the seais
on the fat cars being In con-
sequence soaked with water, were hardly
calculated to impart q comfortable SEN
sation TO those who had 10 sit on them.
Such trifes. however. did not appear
70 be noticed by one In the crowd; they
had made calculations on having o good
time and were determined TO let no such
thing as tho weather stand In tho way.
At eight o'clock, everything being In
readiness, tho whistle Of the locomotive
gave two piercing shrieks. tho band
struck up a lively air, and the train
moved out amidst the cheers OF the
friends who had camo to the depot to
see their little pets fairly started. At
various points going through the city.
crowds Of men and boys were in wait
ing to 500 tho excursionists as they
passed along. who. upon the approach
Of the train. set mp cheers that were an
swcred by a joyous shout from the hun.
drcds aboard. After the band had
ceased playing. a party Of little ladies'
sitting near them prolonged the sweet
refrain by singing. "when the band be-
gins to play" the band throwing In q
note and n tap OF tho drum at appro-
pirate intervals. The little folks being
aware Of the laws Of acoustics, cheered
yociferously when going through the
various tunnels on the way TO Gold
Hill; like older people, tho sound OF
their own voices were music TO their
oars. On arriving at Gold Hill, the
train was enlarged by the addition Of
three moro cars, ON one OF which
Tho Grammar Sehosi,
Under Professor James was collected
with tho stars and stripes grace
fully floating over their heads.
This was tho only a that
carried q flag. and Il was in addition IA
vored by the presence OF some OF tho
prettiest and most intellectual young
ladies In Gold Hill. Wonder II the Pro.
lessons presence had anything to do
with III The train left Gold Hill at S:l6
with music playing and banner stream
ing in the breeze, while smiling faces
greeted the eye on all points. and happy
hearts throbbed in glad accord to the
rapid beating Of the drum. Despite the
unpropitious weather. We venture to be-
lisyc that not one will return from TINT
picnic without having enjoyed them
selves, and that IL will DO an agreeable
remembrance for many q day.

A Judge Lost in Chicago.

over it the other day as watched the
crowds about the corner OF Clark and
Randolph, how one day, a long time
ago, an old-iashioned country wagon,
with a canvas cover, came winding
along the lake shore up toward the
village. Outside the sand hills that
lined the lake shore it was heavy
hauling through the sand, and inside
the sand hill the prairie grass was so
tall that it was hard work Cor the
moving family, the wife and children
to walk they were obliged to keep
right behind the wagon, in the path
it made through the grass. But,
somehow, as the wagon wound its
way around the marshy places, one Of
the children, little boy, getting leg
weary, Jagged behind, and before any
body knew it he was lost in the tall
grass. 1t was just before dark, and
as soon as the family got to the vii

body turned out to 9,sssTeh for the lost
child. They kept i b. the search ali
that night, and it vas not until six
o'clock next morning that they found

Correspondence.
letter from Hanover.

HANOVER, n. H., Nov. 5rH, rs.
FRIEND MiC.--lfaving little leis-
ure time have concluded to drop you
a few lines and let you know now we
are getting along over here. We
have been having rather exciting
times lately in regard to the fever,
which has been raging here consid-
erably Of late, The first and only
death which has occurred among the
students was that of "Pufier," mem
Der Of the Senior class. He died
quite suddenly at his home in Lowell.
A large Delegation of bis classmates
went to his funeral which was on
Tuesday, Monday noon, the college
held a meeting and voted to send in
request for vacation, to the Faculty,
which should continue until all the
sewers in town had been cleaned out.
The Faculty on receiving the request
Immediately appointed a committee,
to investigate the subject, and after
consideration, concluded that it would
not better the matter any to give a
vacation, 50 the request was refused,
to the dissatisfaction Of a great many.
There are now GO cases among the
students, and three (3) more have
come down with it within two or
three days, but we are in hopes that
the cold weather will put a stop to it.
The Catalogues are just issued, but
the College is getting so poverty
stricken, that they did not issue full
supply OF them, the students being al,
lowed onl y three instead of five which
they had last year. We are having
our share of cold weather here, and the
tops of adjacent hills arc covered with
snow. We had q fire here one night
this week, \ barn just across the
river was burnt to the ground, and
The house was just saved from burn
ng. Although this took place about
still there was goodly del
9gation Of students present, who aid
I'd materially to put down the fire.

Autumn House Cleaning.

chin her dress Is wet, her fingers are
parboiled. and her thumb has been
split with n hammer, but her eve is as
clear and bright as that Of major
general on field day. She picks up
handful of skirts and skins through
the apartments, seeing five hundred
things which should be done at once,
and trying to do them and every
time she comes in reach of the dresser,
she snatches look into the glass, and
shoves q fresh hair-pin into her dilapi-
dated coil And thus planted in the
debris, like queen on her throne,
she unblushinely asserts that "1t's an
awful job :" "Everything is in

Ti'c Magnetism OF ilr. Sankey.
X. S. Z.

1t is easy to see that the magnetic
power OF the meeting is in the hands
of Mr.. Sankcy. People cannot hear
Mr.. Moody at the further end of tae
Rink. And people will not keep still
when they cannot hear. So people
jostle and move, rise, sit, go out and
come in. But the moment it is an
hounced that Mr.. Sankey is to sing
everything is hushed. He is very
modest and very sympathetic. Yet
he IL artistic and his plans are all
laid. He touches the instrument and
pauses that everybody may become
quiet. lie often pretaces his songs
with a few pleasant words. He often
offers short prayer for 4 blessing on
the song to be sung. When all is
hushed he commences. He is an elo
cutioiist of song. He sings high he
sings low he sings rapid he sings
soft and effectively uses the rhetori-
cal pause.
All these follow each other with
great rapidity, and are all highly
effective. He cuts his words short,
with an evident intention. The line
'Jesus of Nazareth passeth by" is,
sung as, 'Jese Of Nazer pass'th by
but Sankey could sing that
hymn to the music The closing
lines are sung: "Too Late. too
Lat G, with long drawn emphasis
on the last late His voice is full and
strong, and his enunciation is exceed
ingly clear and distinct. His voice
has an element better described by
the word Methodistic than any other.
Mr. Sankey is a large sized, finely de-
;eloped man, with sandy hair and
yhiskers, pleasant face and pleasant
address,, with winning way that
inds welcome at once to every
leart. - [Burleigh, in Boston Journal.
