Excursion of Canton No. IA Gala
Day for our Gallant Fi3emen.

Thursday morning last, our gal
liant tircmen, with their engine and
hose carriage, and accompanied by
Il large number of citizens, many
of whom were ladies, left the depot
on n special train for Kosciusko.
The cars were we'll filled when tho
train left Canton, and at each sta
tim new accessions were had, and
by the time the train reached its
destination il was packed and jam
med.
Arriving AT Kosciusko, the eXcur-
sionists were greeted at the depot
by large delegation of citizens,
many of whom were ladies. The
tiremcn disemb arlled with their en-
CINE, and headed by the Canton
Brass Band marched through the
city, while the rest of the cx-
cursionists repaired to the picnic
grounds, where delightful shade and
cool spring water abounded
The company and engine having
arrived at the grounds, several elo-
quent and appropriate speeches
were made, Capt. Anderson, Mayor
of kosciusko, opening with a wei
come address. After the speeches
the baskets were opened and good
things in abundance were spread,
and everybody invited to partake.
The dinner was enjoyed by all.
Shortly after dinner the steamer
was fired up, and took water near
the picnic grounds. We do not re-
member ever TO have seen the en-
CINE work better or throw water
more steadily on to greater dis
lance than on this occasion. 1t was
a novel sight to many of our coun-
try cousins, and they were unstint-
ed in their praises of the steamer
ard our firemon.
The excursion left Kosciusko
about D o'clock pm, and without
accident, and every heart brim full
of happiness, arrived at Canton at
$50. All who took part in it were
pleased with the trip, delighted with
the hospitality of the good people
Of kosciusko, and thankful TO the
of the excursion for
the pleasure afforded.

smaller amount still remaining. Af
ter procuring the booty for which
he ran such a risk, he made his way
to Locb's stable, drew the staple,

he Immediately abscondcd.
Several of the young men heard
the noise, but not suspecting any

account of the dry weather could
not follow them in the dark. AT
six o'clock next morning Loeb

out counting that night-tircd and
sleepy. Mr.. Bennett Immediately
telegraphcd to head quarters and
two detectives have arrived and are
looking into the affair and think
they have made the discovery of
the Instruments used in breaking
the doors, but they are altogether
off the track, as the information
they have picked up can be readily
accounted for.
