The picnic we spoke of in our last, for the SS. children of the Episcopal church, was grand success. MT. J. H. Peters of Macedonia took the prize for vehicle to convey the children to and from the grounds. The wagon, arranged to carry about 30 persons. was gaily decorated with stars and stripes, evergreens, flowers &c., and drawn by fine. yoke of oxen, which were fancifnlly trimmed, also the driver, who bore well his part. The day was fine, tables laden with good things, and, take it all in all. it was joyous oc. casion.
 Among the late arrivals we note Miss Olive Fuller, Mrs. Geo. Stockwell and daughter, and Mrs. Geo. Parker and son, and Mir. B. Ingersoll.
 -Tbe weather for most of the week past has been fine and the farmers have improved it, as many are through having. The light rain on Friday eve. prevented some from finishing having on Saturday.
 Three persons were baptised in St. Andrews church, on Sunday last by Rev. MT. Sturges.

A STRIKE ON THE DoG.-On Saturday, the town authority lit suddenly on some six or eight of our most prominent and law-abiding citizens, brought them before Justice Markham, and found them guilty of letting their dogs run on the streets and in public places without muzzles; although most of them owned muzzles and had used them part of the time. Some of those found guilty accepted the situation, but others appealed. and breathe out wrath and threatenings against those who enforced the law, because they did not give them kindly notice and warn. ing.

BLASTING RoCKs.-Edward Kimberly tried an experiment., last week, in MT. Scoville's meadow, with the explosive used to blow up the rocks under the wa ter near New York. The cartridges are about inches long, and an inch and a half in diameter, and the powder looks like sawdust. He dug small place on one side of rock which rose about six inches above the ground, and put partly under the rock three cartridges. covering them with mud made by pouring in a pail of water. The explosion split the great rock, throwing out great quantity of earth. One part of the rock, weigh. ing about three tons, was thrown entirely out on the meadow, and the other nearly as heavy was left partly in the hole. He then placed two and an half cartridges on the top of the larger rock. and covered them with mud. The explosion crushed the rock, scattering the pieces, as if struck by an..enormous hammer.

 CoREET BAND.-The Band have begun to practice again, we hear, under their old preceptor. Jack Bryant. What they need is competent leadership, and thorough subordination on the part of the players to that leadership. As the matter stands, hundreds of dollars have been spent on the band. and. after three years practice, they cannot play as we'll as the Warren Baud. which has been organ ized only half that time. s~t ARRIVAL other recent arrivals we notice that of Miss Nelly Marvin, now visiting her sister, Mrs. Frank P.

This is the third croquet party of the season. 5 BOARDING HOUSES. -As we have before stated, this is by far the best season for summer boarders New Preston has ever had. Our only difficulty is the limited l accommodations at our different board ing houses. The Sherman House accom- dates about fifty. It is this year full to overfowing and it's proprietor has been obliged to refuse many applications. The Wilson House can lodge large number and is also full. The same is the case with the Carter House, which is however devoted ehisAy tn tranxient- -guests We have been informed that it's landlady, with the help of but one woman, furnished 125 meals ID single day. On the Fourth of July, Mr. Carter took in nearly $15O, it is said. and there is not single day that his house is not more than full of visi- tors. The Loomarwick House has also been obliged to refuse applications. There is the same difficulty at the other boarding houses. the general difficulty DOAAS OA0t VI We are glad to learn, however, that large additions will be made to the present boarding houses. next season, and that more will be built. Mir. Carter would certainly find it to his advantage to build an additional house and large one. LYcEUM. The Lyceum is expected to open by the first of September.

 An impromptu choir composed of the campers and several excellent singers from Washington and the Choir of Rev Henry Upson in New Preston. was led by Colonel King who presided at the small but powerful Mason & Hamlin organ.
 Rev. MT. Upson opened the meeting with prayer, and reading of the Scrip lures. The cholr sang
 "Love divine, all love excelling." i ! and succeeding the long prayer. again sang that most beautiful of all hymns
 "Jesus lover of my soul"
 "Let me to thy bosom fly, AS the sweet strains foated away upon the lake, the moment was one of vast peace and tranquility The clamor, the trials, the disappointment of busy life were for the time forgotten, and dull must have been the sensibilities of those who did not feel that they were in the Divine presence and very near the thresh- hold of heaven itself.
 Rev. Geo. s. Ihiall, recently settled over the Congregational church at Wash lngton, preached a most admirable dis course on the life and character of John the Baptist, with appropriate application. especially to the young men in the camp. Mir. Thrall is young man, about twenty four we believe, with strong. agreeable voice, and clear. distinct and eloquent delivery. The impression created is of earnest conviction based upon careful study and calm judgment. He maiitain. ed the undivided attention of the audi ence to the close of his discourse.
 More singing and prayer and benedic- tion concluded this most impressive cere- mony.
 Among the visitors to the camp have been Mir. D. s. Gregory, prominent merchant of New York and family, Rev. Willis Colton and wife of Warren, who have four children in camp. Rev. Dr. Clear Robinson, of Troy, who has one son in camp, Rev. Chas. Bradley of Bir. mingham, Rev. MT. Lancashire, of New Preston, and others, including large number of remarkably handsome young ladies who are spending the summer at the various boarding. houses on the shore of the lake.
 To MT. and Mrs. Gum, the universal father and mother of this great family. Providence seems to have granted perpet. ual youth. Here are in camp mothers with numerous progeny who camped with them as little children nearly twenty years ago. If the grey hairs have increased some, there is no grey moss on their hearts and no diminution of their unfail- ing generosity and parental kindness. Long live the Gunnery and it's master spirits.
 The camp will continue until about the fourth of August.
