this place than their oTn, Notwithstanding its
size, and the number Of children, both big and
small, that help to swell thefamily circle. What
with boating, croquet, picnics, and dancing, the
days glide by almost imperceptibiy, each
one a round OF pleasure from morning
to night. To vary the monotony OF
amuscmcnts somewhat, it was proposed on
Monday last to have grand picnic for the little
ones belonging to the Cure at Durkce's Drive
on Tuesday. Accordingly, = raid was made on
Ben Jewett's stable for suitable vehicles to con-
vey them thitherward. At an early hour they
started, amid merry laughter and pleasant jokes,
for the place of rendezvous. The little ones
were sight to see, III their pretty trappings Of
white and parti-colored ribbons, cheeks flushed
with excitement and their eyes bright with antici-
pations Of the pleasures In store for them. The
day proved realization OF their dreams, ami they
were happy. The older ones, also. had their share
Of fun and frolic amusing themselves in variety
