For THE TELEGRAPH

Friday, July 2lst, 1876 was the last day of
school for District No. 10 of the towns OF
Pleasant Prairie and somers. This day was
given to the scholars for picnic.
Early in the morning Miss Addie Lieber
and her scholars were on the ground max
ing arrangen ents for the day. At half past
ten the company began to gather at the
grove known as Holmes Grove, and contin-
ued gathering till the middle of the after
noon. The day was pleasant and all seemed
to enjoy It, the forenoon was passed very
pleasantly in different kinds of games which
made it pleasant for all.
1t two o'clock notice was given to the
company :hat dinner was ready, seats were
arranged to accommodate all and close 10 two
long tables completely covered with ea3a-
bles of every description. Near by was the
Ice cream and lemonade stand. all were
shaded by four or five large oaks which ma
ture seemed to have placed there there for
occasion While dinner was being served
one of the seats being unable to hold up all
that was passed around gave way and max
ing no distinction betw cen old, young or
good looking brought all TO the ground to-
gether. This created an excitement which
lasted only a few moments. Finding no
one unable to face the table, it only seemed
to sharpen their appetite. Their was a
plentiness of everything and all was good,
the black raspberry pie went round on its !
turn and like the rest was considered very
nice, in fact much might be said for all. |
a fter justice was doneto the nuts and candy |
the company began to scatter when Miss
Lieber rang the bell and called their atten-
ton to the exercises of the scholars, which
began at three O'Clock. The exercises open
ed with a song, vacation. Many of the
scholars took part in the exercises, and
each one did their part extremely well, the
exercises closed song, sweet by and by.
Miss Lieber was presented with a beautiful
silver napkin ring, and two beautiful books.
Miss Lieber made few touching remarks
which caused tears to flow from the eyes of
her scholars, this seemed to bring a senss-
ion over the teacher which is easier imagin-
ID than described. Presently the company
catered and from four o'clock till sun
own theroad was filed WIZ people going to
heir respective homes.

of these facts, why go from the Demo-

troll OF the government in its infancy,
carried it safely through two wars; and
brought it to maturity, and caused tae

and in any cline. Applause and cries

Gus living, but, in the language oil the
standard bearer of the Democracy, arc TO
"Iiye within our income" snd when you
do this YOU are on the high road TO pros
perity and resumption. In referring to
the accusation of the Republican party
that the Democracy of the State OF west
Virginia were increasing taxation by eX-
travagant expenditures of public moneys,
the speaker refuted the same, and spoke
of the penitentiary building, which has
been the cause of SO much bowling on
the part of the Republicans. This build.
ing, he said, it was true was great deal
larger than the wants Of the state re-
CURED. but the fsult did not lie with the
Democratic party, who had taken the
reins of government out OF the hands OF
the Republicans, and in completing the
erection of that editlce had only COM
pleted the unfinished work of the party
that had been deposed; and the cry that
had gone out from the opposition that
the admttance of Federal prisoners to
that institution was detrimental to the
best interests of the state, was but the wall
of an envious and Jealous people. They
were Jealous of the honesty OF the
Democracy, and were fearful, inasmuch
as that all the Federal prisoners that en-
tered within the walls Of the penitentiarry
had been Republicans, that there might
possibly be room therein to treasure
away for future reference the whole OF
the Republican party. Loud applause
and cries of good, good.
In conclusion, Mr.. jackson euIoglzed
the Democracy in the most eloquent
manner, a. d asked that the party be
renstated IN power, that peace plenty
and happiness might reign supreme
once more throughout our borders.
