very surface. We hired two boats, light
and round keeled, which we were to retain
as long as We remained. Loaded down to
the gunwales we slowly rowed over to
camp" The shore of the island was
rocky and gravelly, with no mud or marshy
ground or any tide to keep it wet. 1t was
dry and hard and beautiful. Selecting
site we pitched our tent, built the fire and
cooked our supper and eat it with hearty
relish. We managed to dispose of our

Port Deposit Items.

TEMPERANCE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
A meeting of the executive committee and
other members of the Port Deposit Tenn
perance Association was held on the even
ing Of the 18th instant. When the sub
.ject was introduced of erecting building
in which the meetings of the society could
be held during the coming Summer months,
it being in contemplation to have it open
each evening of the week, and hold meet
ings similar to those held during the last
Summer under the auspices of the late
lamented Mr.. Agnew. After thorough
interchange of views it was decided to make
it joint stock association, placing the
shares of stock at one dollar each, so as to
give every one who feels an interest in the
cause an opportunity to contribute towards
the building. 1t was estimated that sum
not exceeding $500 would put them in pos
session of building, 60x30 feet, complete.
A subscription paper was started among
those present, when 101 shares were taken.
A committee was appointed to solicit fur
Their subscriptions, who have already Sc
cured upwards Of $50 additional shares,
with every prospect of having the whole
amount taken in few days, and the asso-
be procured, of having the building com
pleted and ready for occupation by the
middle of June next.
PERSONAL.
The many friends of Mr.. John J. Abra-
hams will be gratitied to learn that there
has been a marked improvement in his
condition during the past few days, he is

favorable, and strong hopes are entertained
that he is in fair way to recover.
PIC MIC GROUNDS.
1t is reported that the Phila., Viii. Bait
Railroad Co., have purchased the property
known as the Happy Valley pic mic
grounds" where large dancing pavilion
had been erected by the late Col. J. J.
Heckart, and which for many Summers had
been notable place of resort for the de
voices of terpischore. 1t is the intention
of the company to remodel the building
and embelish and improve the grounds and
make it in every way very attractive place
to which excursions from Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Wilmington and other places
can resort to spend pleasant day during
the Summer months.
EXCURSION DOWN THE BAY.
The Summer excursion season will be
inaugurated to morrow Friday. An ex-
cursion party from Philadelphia, Harris
burg, Columbia, York and other points
along the line of the Pennsylvania, and the
Columbia & Port Deposit railroad, will
arrive here about 8 A. NJ, when they will
take the steamer Lancaster for an excursion
down the bay and will, no doubt, have a
most pleasant time.
