There was nothing IN front ofhim to lay hold Of,

Letter from Sunny Dale.
SUNNY DALE. ApriI 1

SUNNY DALE, April Ii, 1876.
EDITOR EAGLE: Saturday, April
18th, was field day for the Sunny
Daleans. On that day all the people
of the district, with but two or three
exceptions, great and small, old and
young, male and female rendezvoused
at our school house to plant trees.
About $50 trees were planted, consist
ing of forest and ornamental varieties,
and willow hedge was set around
the grounds. Before the trees were
planted the grounds were artistically
laid off in walks and avenues by
gentleman who is an expert in land
scape gardening.
At noon dinner was announced.
And such dinner! Our language is
too limited to do justice to the repast
which was set before us, presided
over by the noble matrons and fair
maidens of Sunny Dale. But suffice
it to say that the good things set be-
fore us could not have been excelled
by hotel. After dinner the ladies
favored us with some beautiful vocal
music. When the shades of evening
began to lower all dispersed to their
homes well satisfied with
their days work.
1t seems that the reign Of Jupiter
Pluvius is at ali end. Old Sol is once
more showing his benignant phiz, and
he honest tillers of the soil, whose
