MAY DAY.-Notwithstanding the fact that the Election of May Queen last year was so perfect ly satisfactory under the system of Eiectiug by vote and allowing each vote to be represented by so much money, it has been thought best this year to allow the children to choose the Queen without the use of money, and to raise the means for defraying expenses, which it Is decided to make very light, in some other way. It is pro. posed 10 select the grounds near the town to avoid the expense of transportation, and that each family furnish refreshments for their own and such other children as may be allotted to them that are unprovided for otherwise. Adults, being near the restaurants, hotels and their homes can take care Of themselves, or "spar' their way as best they may. The main point will be to provide ample accommodations and amusement for the children, and in this way it is believed we can have real jolly May Day Picnic, Browning of the Queen, etc, at an almost nominal expense. Every grown person worth trying to please, is sure to be delighted when the children are happy. Let us bend every energy to this accomplishment, and pay no attention to the older people, each of whom can consider him or herself committee of one to look out for number one. To-day is election day; the children are each to bring their ticket 10 school with the name of their candidate written upon 1t, and tho girl receiving the most votes will be crowned on Tuesday, May 2d, which is the day fixed for the Celebration. The names of Mrs. Bourke, Mrs. Rush, Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Bufium, and Mrs. Burmister are suggested as committee to attend to the tables: with Messrs Geo. w. Curtis and Joseph Knott as Committee of Arrangements. The place selected for the Celebration is near the spring back of the residence fudge Fleury.

Sunday morning, the water being cold
as the mountain snow cOuld make it.
Two men, Sergeant COrnwen and Pr.
vate Collins, were too exhausted TO
cross, so they hid in the brush until we
senttwo companies of cavalry after them,
when We reached camp. After crossing
Big Goose we were nearly dozen miles
from our camp on Little Goose creek,
and you may judge how badly we were
used up, when it took four hours to
make six miles. The rocks had skinned
our feet, and starvation had weakened
our frames. Only few were vigorous
enough to push on. At five O'Clock We
saw a few more Indians but we took no
pains to conceal ourselves further. They
evidently mistook us for a camp out
guard, and, being only handful, kept
away. At seven o'clock we met some
cavalry ont hunting, and we sent into
camp for horses, as most of them could
go no further. Captain De Wees, and
Rowelle, of the Second cavalry, came
out for us with led hoses, and We
reached camp at ten o'clock Monday
morning. amid congratulations from
every side. The men who remained at
Goose creek were brought in some hours
later. Thus, after passing through in
credible danger and great privation,
every man of our thirty, unwounded, as
by a miracle, found himself safe in
Camp Cloud Peak, surrounded by com
rades. For conducting this retreat with
such consummate success, Frank Grou-
ard deserves the highest place among

Striking q Clock.

George Ill, of England, was ex-
tremely punctual, and expected punctu-
atty from every one. Lord Ell. was the
most punctual man who attended on his
majesty. He had an appointment one
day with the king at Windsor at twelve
o'clock. On passing through the hall
the clock struck twelve, on which his
lordship, in his rage at being half a min
ute late, raised his cane and broke the
glass of the clock. The king reminded
him that he was little beyond his
time, which he excused as we'll as he
could. At the next audience the king,
as he entered the room, exclaimed: Z" H,
how came you to strike the clock 2"
"The clock struck first, your majesty"
The king laughed heartily at the grave
manner in which Lord II. justified himr
self, the mock solemnity of the answer
adding zest to the con mot.
