Sabbath s. Picnic. The Sabbath

Sabbath s. Picnic. The Sabbath
School of the Congregational Church
enjoyed glorious picnic last Thurs
day. The day proved to be most pro-
pitious. just warm enough to be
comfortable in the woods, and
with sufficient breeze to make the
air refreshing. The school assembled
at, the church at a. m. where, after
brief exercises the little ones formed a
procession and marched to a beautiful
grove near Mr.. Browns residence at
the upper eddy. The smaller scholars
were nicely cared for by Mr.. Fank
Hubbard who had prepared his large
wagon with suitable seats and nice
covering of evergreen boughs. Into
this capacious chariot the baskets oil
cake and biscuits and good things were
placed with about forty little ones to
keep guard over the goodies. Tho
procession carried four banners and
innumerabls boquets for the tables
several of which were contributed by
Mrs. Hitchcock who had arranged
thom very Hastily.
Arriving at the wood, the 'schoop
found that Mr.. Brown and Mr.. BelknaI
with the assistance of Mrs. Sterling
and Mrs. Belknap and other of th'
good ladies, had morezthan done hon
or to themselve in preparing the
grounds for the amusement and enjoy
ment of the pupils. The tables wer,
conveniently arranged, and three swing
suspended from the tops of the lofty
evergreen treets were ready fer occu
pants, while Mr.. Belknap. had con
strueted a monster teeter for the littl,
ones. In different localities rusti,
seats had been prepared in coy foliag'
sheltered spots, and all was as I1ic'
and elaborate as could be. Copiou
quantities of ice water and fort,
gallon barrel of Lemonade were I'm
eeasing fountains of refreshment tt
the thirsty, while fifteen gallons o
ice cream stood freezing to be warmly
received into little waiting stomachs.
AT noon the tables we're spread mos
beautifully and the little legion with
appetites made keen by a walk of ;
mile and half turned to" with :

The day was we'll put in. Abou
four o'clock all began to show weari
ness. and Mr.. Hubbard being in readi
moss with his evergreen coach the lit.
! tie ones confscated it and all returned
home in season to enjoy hearty supper
after hard days work of overfowine
enjoyment. Nothing occurred to ma
the pleasure at the grounds with til,
exception of one or two slight swing
accidents, which might have PROVED
serious, but which, fortunately termin
ated without disaster. The :compan,
returned to the church where it dis
banded, all agreeing that they had
royal good time, and brim full of hap
piness.

Dentistry.-Dr. R. S. Wells who

resident of Sparta Wis. will be at the
Rablin House Grand Rapids Tuesday
July Sd 1877, for the practice of his
profession. Hard times is our only
apology for practicing out Of our

done for many years before.
THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT
PLACE.
In a copy of the proceeding of the
Wisconsin State Dental Association at
their annual meeting in July of last
year, we find record of the election
of DIR. z. S. Wells, of Sparta, as
President of the Association, high ly
honorable position, and one worthily
bestowed upon the Doctor, who ranks
among the very foremost practitioners
of the State, in this profession. He
has contributed not little to the rap
Id advancements which have been
making of late years in the depart
ment of practical and mechanical dem
tistry, and has added to the literature
of the profession many able and we'll
written papers, among which, one on
"The Dental Education of the Masses
is publiihed in this report. and is an
interesting and valuable production.
Theoretically as well as practically
Doctor Wells is among the few who
stand at the head of the profession.

A Runaway.--As the Sunday
School was returning from its picnic
exercises last Thursday, the team be-
longing to NJ. G. Warren and driven
by himself, took fright from the ban
ners, and with one desperate lunge
almost cleared themselves from the
wagon. The pole dropped to the
ground and Mr.. Warren was dragged
over the dashboard and for a few
moments was suspended head down
wards at the heels of the atfrighted
horses going at break-neck speed
adown the sidewalk. After running
several rods, Mr.. w. was precipitated
to the ground, the wagon passing over
him, but fortunately bruising him only
slightly. He was cared for, and his
head and face bathed, after which he
was taken home by Mr. Langerd, who,
fortunately happened to be near with
his team The horses ran till they
had detached themselves from the
wagon which was pretty badly used up.
Fortunately none we're injured by the
running team, though the walk was
full of children returning from the
picnic. 1t was narrow escape al
around.

Cow with a POlOnaise. lis is a
bold COW that dare don a polonise in
the face and eyes OF the average serv.
ant girl but she did tive mean the
cow did it. took it right off the Rab
lin House clothes line and the girl just
stood and whoop-ed 'er up while She
the cow-cayorted out into the street
and she-the girl-cavorted into the
house bemoaning her exterior calico
adornment. She-the cow just more
than put on style. She swatted hel
tail around like Gagged behemoth and
ntpped-,here and there a little gras.
while she--the girl, not the cow
was trying to cool off her madness by
declaring she'd "kill that old brute il
it took all summer" She-the cow,
not the girl,-at last drew the atten.
ton of score of men and boys, and
they chased that polonisc-we never
saw men more enthusiastic over a po-
lenaise where it belonged--till She
the COW, concluded it had gone out OF
fashion and permitted nice young
man with side whiskers to take either
horn of the dilemma he chose as she
the COW, net the girl,
him, and with the wisdom of Solo
mon he took the horn that sported
the polonaise, and overfowing with
the milk of human kindness he rushed
to the Rablin House and laid the
chsckered trophy at the feet of the
freekled damsel; and now they say he
is destined to take the udder horn of
the dilemma, and buy that girls calico,
and polonaises, and candy, and buzom
pins and things, and She the girl
blesses that cow. but he says the ways
of Providence are past finding out.
The men went back to their first loves,
selling sugar and hardware and pills
and peppermint, and the cow went to
grass, and the nice young man with
side whisksrs went to the girl and said
he was ready, and the girl went to
Uncle Clark and said she guessed She
take her wages. and the twain are go
ing into the milk business on a small
scale-all through cow stealing a
potonaise. Bless US, but the world
does move.
