A PLEASANT PICNIC.

MIR. EDITOR: The annual picnic of
st. Joseph's Church was held yesterday
on the usual grounds. The school chill
dren marched from the church with the
'sisters" who have charge of the school.
They sang several pieces along the way
to the picnic, where there was stage
erected for the children to perform their
closing exercises upon. A good pro-
gramme had been selected by the Sisters
for the occasion. After an appropriate
introduction had been delivered by Mr..
John Kane, who read the programme,
''The Village School, was performed by
Miss Ellie DAILY, Miss Mars, Joseph
Kane, Miss Maggie Foster, Miss Elsie
McMahan, Miss Ellie Began, Miss Mag
gle Higgins, Miss Mary Donough, and
Miss Minnie G. Hanlon. The dialogues,
declamations and recitations by the boys
were well rendered. A little fellow,
Patrick Donough, had the good wishes
of all who heard him. Great credit is
due to the Sisters and their pupils. The
girls were neatly dressed in white with
blue sashes, and presented most pleas
ing appearance. The singing by all the
| school children was very good. After
all was over their young hearts were
made to rejoice by plenty of refresh.

POINT LOOKOUT.
A NEW PICNIC RESORT ON THE W. a

A NEW PICNIC RESORT ON THE W. q
N. Il. Il.
The Wilmington Il Northern Railroad
Company have just fitted up new picnic
grounds along the line of their road,
which are undoubtedly the finest resort
for excursions and picnic parties in this
neighborhood.
These grounds are located just over
the Delaware line, in Chester county,
about one mile this side of Chadd's
Ford, and therefore only eleven miles
from Wilmington. The tract comprises
about forty acres, part Of the well-known
Cooley estate, and has be en- leased by
the company for term of years. The
tract is a billy woodland, and on the
highest point, called Point Lookout, a
comfortable pavilion has been erected,
from which spendid view of the sur
rounding country can be obtained. Here
the breezes are always string vigorously,
even while the air Is still and close in
the valley below. The grounds have
been fitted up with seats, tables and
swings, and also possess an additional
attraction which few similar places can
boast of, viz: two excellent and capa-
cious springs Of pure cold water.
A GAZETTE reporter visited Point
Lookout yesterday and satisfied him
self from personal observation of the
superior attractions of this place. 1t is
located right alongside of the railroad,
thus enabling excnrsionists to reach the
desired point without being compelled to
take long and exhaustive walk through
the hot sun. The ascents are also
gradual, and it is not, therefore, a
troublesome task to climb to the highest
part of the grounds. Taken altogether,
this place is the most delightful of the
many pleasant summer day resorts that
abound in the neighborhood of this city.
During the present season excursions
will be taken to Point Lookout on
reasonable terms, which can be OBJ
tained from the agents of the Company
at the P. w. x B. Il. r. depot, or at the
foot of Madison street.

til The buggy came in contact with a
horse and wagon belonging to Geo. W.
Stone. The wagon belonging to Mr..
Stone was overturned, and his horse was
badly hurt ons of the leaders of hind
leg being cut.
Mr.. James Barkley, who was driving
the runaway team was thrown out OF

THE STORY OF THE CowANsvILLE OBJ.
SERVER A CANARD-sENsATIO
STORY OF A YOUNG STUDENT.
CowANsvILLE, Quebec, July Z, 1879.
Your correspondent arrived in East
Farnham this evening at eight O'Clock
and Immediately proceeded to search
tor the missing Charley Ross, reported
to be in the keeping of man named
Guertin. The people of East Farnham
are very obliging, and did all in their
power to find the man. 1t was a hunt
in the dark, however, with a good pros
poet for a wet jacket, as the sky was
threatening. No one seemed to know
anything about Charley Ross except
from the story that had appeared in the
Cowansville Observer. 1t was denied
that there was any such man as Guertin
in the place.
A CLEw AT LAST.
After persistent search Mr.. Moses
Jewell was discovered. He is. the secre-
tary Of the township of East Farnham,
and after searching for time he discov-
cred the name of Etienne Guertin, and
referred ME to the Rev. Father Char
bonneau, the Roman Catholic priest OF
the district, who was certain to know
him. A drive Of nearly a dozen miles

and the same ignorance OF Charley Ross

drive of seven or eight miles to Cow
ansville, the place where the Cowans-
vile Observer is published, with moth

June bugs for guide, was no very
peasant undertaking, but it was accom-
plished, and an interview with Mr.. John
Massie, the editor of the Cowansville
Observer, followed. He at once admit

too late to be suppressed or contradicted
"But what object could he have In
telling such stOry?" l asked.
"Well, he was just leaving college fol

the reply.
This was sitting the affair to the bot
tom, and, having reached a telegraph
operator at eleven o'clock and added
one more Charley Ross hoax to the hun

WITH THE MEMBERS

SENATOR BAyARD AND COT. WIN. HEM
PHILL JONES HAVE A FRIENDLY TALK
WITH THE MEMBERS
On the OCCASION of the regular meeting
OF the Jefferson Democratic Club, last
evening, there was large attendance Of
members and others, 1t being under
stood that Hon. Thomas r. Bayard, who
is an he Dorary member of the club, and
Col. VIM. Hemphill Jones, of Washing
ton, one OF Wilmingt0n's former
Mayors, would be present and make
addresses.
On this account the regular business
of the club was dispensed with, and
about $3.50 o'clock, Mr.. John II. O'Brien
Vice President, who presided In the
absence of President Hart, introduced
Senator Bayard ard Col. Jones. He
alluded to Senator Bayard's contemplate
ed visit to Europe, and said his presence
at this meeting was for the purpose Of
giving the members an opportunity to
bid him farewell aud wish Elm God
speed on his voyage. Col. Jones, Mr..
OBrien said, was one of Wilmington's
well-known and honored citizens, who
needed no introduction to Whining
ton audience.
Senator Bayard addressed the club
briefly and informally, his remarks being
more in the nature of social and
friendly conversation, during which he
discussed the fundame atal principles of
our republican form of government, and
showed how 1t was an institution based
upon the liberty and Intelligence of the
people.
Col. Jones also briefly addressed the
club in a very happy strain. He felt he
had a right to be at this meeting, as he
was member of tho first Democratic
club organized in Delaware, under whose
auspices the first Democratic mass meet
ing ever held IN this State wRs arranged
and conducted. He then gave a brief ac-
count of the organization Of this club,
which was formed in 1929, when Presi-
| dent AnGrew Jackson was engaged In
leading the desperate fight of the people
| against Nat Biddle and the United States
Bank. Col Jones described the effective
work performed by this club, which re-
suited in the Democrats carrying the
county and State.
After the speeches an informal recep-
ton was held, during which Mr.. Bayard,
in view OF his approaching departure
| from the country, bade personal fare
well to all who came forward to wish
him bon uoyage and pleasant tour.
| Col. Jones remained in the rooms
some time longer, making the acquaint
ance OF the members of the club, aud en-
tertained all who crowded around hin
with his rare conversational powers ane
his inexhaustible fund of wit and anec-
dote. Col. Jenes seems to grow younger
with the advancing years, and his visi
to the Jefferson Club will long be re
mem bered as one of the pleasantes
epochs of the clubs existence.

THE OLD BASIN CONTRACT.

LIZ OAD D4AolN WIN 1shS
Rumors that have been floating around
town since yesterday in regard to the
contract for removing the old basin were
in measure confirmed this morning
when the work was not resumed. Mr..
Ford, the contractor, could not be seen
but it was learned that he had sent for
Mr.. Silvers, the chairman Of the Building
Committee Of the Levy Court, last even
ing, and had asked him that he be given
conference with the Building Commit
tee. Mr.. Silvers was in town to-day but
could give the reporter no satisfaction,
as he did not know whether Mr.. Ford
would be allowed a sum additional to the
amount of his bid or would be compelled
to go on with his contract without any
remuneration further than that which he
had offered to do the work.
