There was somewhat of 4 row at the
picnic of the colored cOrnct band held
yesterday in Hcisc's woods. A number,
which runs to near a majority of those
present, sampled big amount of "iirc
WATER" and ended the thing by making
sample demons Of themselves. Beginning
with boisterous laughter, hard jokes and
harder language, the life of the occasion
was kept up. but its gaiety was sadly
diminished by the whole crowd engaging
in free fight, using their fists, feet,
clubs and whatever else came to hand, q
revolver or two not being the most
insignificant means of Offense aud
defense. The aforesaid clubs came down
with whack on the iron-plato pates of
some of the dusky pleasurc-seekers, and
were broken in two without in the least in
iuring either the shape or usefulness of
the substance with which they came in
contact A pistol bullet at length found
the abdomen OF Reynolds Allison, who
was retired from the active force of COM
batants and carried into the shade. A

sons injury is not serious. Blackson's
orchestra furnishes the music.
