--To-morrow, We believe, is the date
appointed for a picnic TO be held near
Hannah Furnace. II Is called the peopie's
picnic, and persons of all ages sizes, sexes
and conditions are expected - Join in it,
Addresses which will prove very instruct

such eminent gentlemen ~ Dr. Calder
/ President OF State College, and Others OF
equal note. Intervals between speeches
will be cntcrtainingly and proGlnbly occu-
| pied with physical rcfrcshmcut in the
shape Of a good dinner aud with lively
music from Washington Cornct Band.
Then there will also be- martial music fur
nishcd by seven drum corps, which we
should think will be sufficient TO make the
picniccrs imagine they are training for a
small war. 1t is certainly enough to at
tract all the people about Hannah Furnace,
and we hope they will have a good time
