The official business having all been trans
acted, the platform was given over to such
of it up to the time of leaving the ground
to take the train homeward, which was at 6
O'Clock P. NJ. The string band connected
with the Newport brass band furnished the
music for those who danced. Those who
did not dance passed the time in various
ways, as best suited their inclinations, and
the tastes of those who accompanied them.
Some boated, and looked at the trout that
disport themselves in the lakelet as uncon-
cernedly as if they had been raised under
the eye of admiring crowds. Several par
ties, forgetting all rules of propriety, fished
for the trout, but the fish would not bite,
and it is well that they did not, for had any
been caught, the association would have
been compelled to have taken no ice of the
discourtesy. Many people visited the pa
per-mill near by All were pleased, except
ing such as had little spells of sickness,
which, doubtless was engendered by a
freak of indigestion that had been brought
on days before the picnic started. The
Mifflintown people reached home about mid
night. The railroad management was per-
feet throughout, and the hour and a-half
delay at Altoona on the homeward trip gave
the excursionists an opportunity to partly
realize what wonderful railroad focal point
Altoona is.

The Pineries of Michigan Passing
AWAY.

Alpena, the headquarters Of the pine
lumber trade of Michigan, is in a fair
way to lose its prestige, according to
correspondent OF the Cincinnati Gazette,
by the rapid extinction of the pineries
of that State. The forests fall before
The woodman's axe and the lands are
turned to agricultural uses. Then,
when the terrible forest fires of Michi-
gan swept over 10000 acres of fine
land along the Lake Huron coast, south
of Saginaw Bay, and destroyed whole
towns, many lives, aud millions of dol
lars worth OF property, the numbering
interests were utterly destroyed. The
destruction of the plneries of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota is matter of
Importance How long will the forests
of these three States, that contain the
chief stores Of pine timeber on this
continent east of the Rocky Mountains,
continue to supply the enormous drains
being made upon them One example
will show how rapid is the process of
destruction. The Saginaw Valley for
merly contained the largest and finest
pine forests in the State of Michigan.
Mill after mill was built along the banks
of the rive: until their united capacity
reached 600, 600 900 feet of lumber per
year. To supply these mills the pine
in the Saginaw Valley has been already
in great part exhausted, and mill owners
are obliged to bring logs from other
rivers, often as far as $50 miles dis
tant, to supplement the stock of the
Saginaw River. The output on that
river has reached Its climax. No more
new mills are built or old ones replaced
The pineries cannot be replaced. A full
grown tree represents hundreds and
hundreds of years of growth. l saw
small pines, no larger around than a
mans arm, bearing the scars made by
the axes of the United States Engi-
neers thirty five years ago. What ages,
then, must be required to produce q
tree three or four feet in diameter I!
When these forests reach the condition
of the pineries of Maine and New York,
and become extinct, no new ones will
take their places.

THE difference between Mosby, and
Longstreet, and Wade Hampton, and
the general run of leaders of the Dem
ocratic party is, that when the rebellion
in the field was ended, Mosby and Long
street said the Lost Cause is indeed a
Lost Cause, and we abide by the de-
cision We accept the situation. The
Democracy as party have never said
tha:; they have not said so since re-
bellion. In the first resolution of the
platform adopted at CiDcinnati-the
platform on which Hancock stands
they declared themselves pledged anew
TO the Constitutional doctrines and
traditions of the Democratic party"
Mosby and Longstreet have DO such
pledges to make :; they abandoned such
foolishness when they surrendered their
swords and that is the difference be-
tween Mosby and Longstreet, and the
other Democrats who still pledge them
selves TO the traditions Of Democracy.
