GEACEuAM s. s. PIcNIc.-On Saturday
last, the annual picnic Of the GracChan
Sabbath school took place. and, like prcyi
Gus years was q grand success both in in
tcrcst and point OF numbers, The crowd
in attendance is estimated at 1900. The
day was cool and pleasant and what might

time in the woods. In the mOrning--on
account of the absence Of the speaker an
nounCcd for the occasiOn-slOrt addresses
were made by Rcvs. WiSslcr Cicwcll and
Elder James Crcrgcr, all of whom made
happy and well timed remarks, after whicl
some choice music was rendered by til,

ClcWcll, and il WAS really without tlattcry
charming. The balance of the day was
pleasantly spent in innocent amuscmcnts
talking and eating, the latter of which
formed the principal part Of the days fes

with horses and vehicles of all kinds, anG
together with the number of persons pres
cnt, presented lively scene. Oul

of getting up good picnics and all who
have ever attended any Of them, coincil,
with us in this respect. This last one, al
though it was devoid Of the usual brass
band music, lost none Of its charms and
was glorious success throughout
