Tomorrow is TO be the first of the

fury. Let us have a splendid crowd
at Whitaker's Spring. | have never
seen finer place at which to spend a
summer day. The beeChes, naples and
oaks make the finest shade imaginable.
The sod is very fine, and the spring
has no superior On the border. The
sight of the little folks in their swings
and at their sports is well worthy the
attention of n busy world. Coils. York
and Vance will "norate,n and will en-
terrain the crowd for IA limited time.
AS this will be temperance gathering
| must be allowed a word on Lager
Beer. A few days since l heard a
most estimahle minister of our town
say he feared the introduction of beer
was working some injury. To satisfy
my mind | inquired of two of the
bar keepers of the town a to the re-
suit thus far. l did not happen to
meet with Mr.. EchOls, but at tho. Va.
House bar they said the sale OF lager
had cut down their sales Of whiskey
forty per cent. At the Nickels House
bar they told me the reduction of their
SAFES Oh mhlHht1 amounted w WV
oue-half / also see that the Professor
of Chemistry in the University of
Toronto, Canada, says that lager con-
tains only 81 per cent of Alcohol, and,
while il possibly can make n man
drunk, it is not at all likely to do so.
