CATC's FALLS, July 9th, 1877


ED. REPUBLICAN AS far as we
have heard the 4th passed very
pleasantly, with out the least disturb
ance or discord.
At the close of the White Oak
Grove School, on the 9th inst, the
scholars, with other "invited" friends
spent a very pleasant afternoon in
amusementS Of various kinds. Late
in the afternoon the company partook
ola splendid supper provided by the
school mistress and others. The peo-
pie generally express feelings of re-
greet in parting with Miss Savage,
as she has proved very successful in
that school as well as in all others
she ever taught. We join her many
friends in wishing her much and last
ing success.
We regret to learn from a friend
that he felt himself sighted at the
above mentioned picnic, though we
think we can assure him that it was
not done intentionally.
We had lmOSt failed to mention
that a spelling match was held at
the above named school house on
the night of the 9th.
Mr.. f. Hendrickson deserves cred
it for his manner of conducting Sab
bath Schools. His mode of instruct
ton has already won the attention
of parents as well as children. 1t
will undoubtedly prove benefit to
all.
We are informed that j. T. Bowers,
Esq, of Oakland District, has made
considerable progress in farming.
From accounts given by himself we
do not doubt his success. Mr.. b.
was formerly superintendent of the
Ryans Glades Shook Shop.
5. NJ. Milholen. Esq, who recent
ly left this district, has returned,
looking as hearty as ever.
We remain as ever,

Huston, and NJ. H. Bowman, bust

with one exception, our school fell

aims. They went to Deer Park We'd
nesday evening, where they passed
the night, returning to Portland on
Thursday, from whence they will go
to Thomas Browning'S on Fri lay,
and from there home, ria Somerfield.
The young people of UniontOwn
could not take pleasanter trip, for
the same outlay, than to visit the
mountains of Garrett at this time of
the year. We shall expect to see
more of them during the season.

July 1l.-In looking over the col
umns Of THE REPUBLICAN, and
seeing SO many communications
from all parts of the county, l
thought it would be interesting to
your many readers to hear from this
place.
We are informed that the Deep
Creek Sabbath School intend hold
ing a picnic some time next month.
We hope they may have pleasant
time.

The Fourth was enlivened at this
place by two pic-nic'S, one at Folks
Grove, three miles north of town,
composed of the Lutheran schools of
Grantsville and Salisbury, and the
Union school from st. Paul or Will
helms. The procession from this
place numbered about forty convey
ances, led by the Grantsville Brass
Band. That from Salisbury and st.
Paul, numbered upwards of sixty
conveyances, one of which contained
forty persons.
There were about three hundred
scholars and over one thousand per-
sons on the ground. Addresses were
delivered by Revs. Young, Kozer
and Holman, and Messrs. Welhey,

Excursions.

On Saturday evening last the first
special train carrying excursionists
arrived at Deer Park at $50 and at
Oakland at S.45. This train brought
quite number of people from the
cities of Baltimore, Washington and
Cumberland, who participated in the
gayities of the two hotels. Most of
the excursfonists left for their re-
spectiye homes on Sunday.
In view of the many attractions
and pleasure attending these excur-
sions, they will doubtless become
very popular during the heated term,
affording rs they do to those engaged
in mercantile pursuits a pleasant
relaxation from the cares of business
without interfering with regular Of
flee hours.

the desired information. At the
present time the nights are dalk, and
the people living in that part of the
town are not in the best humor about
this matter. We believe that the
proprietor and frequenters of that
resort need eight" but if the tax
payers have to furnish it, we know
that a majority them would rather
it would be in the shape OF religious
and Temperance tracts. 1t is certain

The Society paper, read by the Ed

Large RattleSnake,

A large Rattlesnake was caught by
Mr.. Thos. Ashby, Jr., near Mr.. Jas.
Mehen's, one mile west Of town, on
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Ashby
had him in front of this office, where
quite number viewed his snake
ship. 1t was about four and half
feet long and had five rattles, though
some were evidently worn off. Taken
altogether he was an ugly customer,
and had he not been confined in a
box, would have scattered the crowd
which surrounded him.

An old but vigorous-looking gentle
man. seemingly from the rural districts,
got into car and walked its full length
without receiving an invitation TO sit
down Approaching gentleman who
had a whole seat 10 himself. he asked:
is this seat occupied?7 Yes, sir, it is, =
impertinandy replied the other. Well
replied the broad shouldered agricultur
ist, Il will keep this seat until the gen.
tleman comes, The original proprietor
withdrew himself haughtily to one end
and looked insulted. After a while the
train got in motion and still nobody
came to claim the seat, whereupon the
deep chested agriculturist turned and
said: ~Sir, when you told me that this
seat was occupied you told me a lie"-
such was his plain language-'T never
sit near liar if / can avoid it; 1 would
rather stand up" Then appealing to
another party he said: "Sir, may / sit
next to you? You don t look like liar. =
We need hardly say that he got his seat,
and that the original proprietor thought
that there was something wrong with
our social system.

1 WOMAN'S LETTER.

Ny letters late by one day,
But truth is, Jennie, dear.
Ned Grayson came on Sunday
1t seems hes always here
He and young Fred Mckenzie,
They stayed three blessed hours
And Ma was in frenzy
And brought some lovely flowers
meant to tell you, Jennie,
The news and everything.
But find there isn't any;
Oh, next week Ned's to sing
With the Mozart Club, at Irving;
I'll manage, dear, 10 90,

A solitaire like Susan's;

How underneath the sun.
DO girls contrivc 10 bear il
This narrowing down to nnc:
Poor George, the foolish fellow,
Began 10 storm and fling.
And turned quite green and yellow
| hate that sort Of thing.
Now Ned is always uuiet.
Think his cool, gray eye
Would still an Irish riot,
Or make regiment fly.
But what's so very funny
About him-Ned, mean
He hasn't any money;
Iheard from Clarence Green
Just how he's situated
Keeps books for Webb & Ware.
All, well-these things are fated,
George owns a million, square.
Yes, dear, fate trims the corners,
Rough hew them as we may.
We can't 20 clad like mourneIs,
Or weep the live long day.
But, oh, don't breath il, Jenny.
I'd marry Ned, You see,
Without single penny,
If only he loved me!
All, well-well-well-that'S folly,
But sometimes, Jen., I've thought
He, too, seemed melancholy;
Quick glances that I've caught
Looked full of speeches. sadness
There goes silly tear
TO blot the page-what madness!
Good-by, pet, George is here.
We dine at Ella Johnson's,

He won't stand too much nonsense,
The crepe comes full yard wide.

For organdies are made so;
