A Schoolboy's Sad Death.
Special Dispatch to The TIMES.
WILLTAMsPoRT, September H.
This afternoon n truant schoolboy,
named William Neiman, aged about
| fourteen years, while attempting to
jump upon moving freight train at
the Penn street crossing, missed his
/ footing and fell under the wheels. Six
freight cars passed over his body, which
was literally cut to pieces. His right
arm and leg were severed, his chest was
crushed in and the back of his head
scalped.
Mn. II. r. STAN, our enterprising
young merchant, sent us a present the
other day whic h We hardly know how
to take, because we can not see into
Russ's heart and Know his motives. If
he sent us that soap on general prlnci-
pies, Just out Of kindness to helpa fel-
low along, OF that we may test Its quail
! tiles and report our experience TO the
public, it is all right, but if he wishes
to intimate by his present that we are
unusually dirty and much III need of
soap, then the sooner he makes an apoI-
ogy the better for his health. Concern
ing the Ivory soap itself-that is the
name-it is absolutely of the best we
ever used either sa toilet soap or for
general use. Try it. Three large
cakes for % cents.
The Granger Picnic, which came
off on the summit of Nlttany noun
tain on Thursday of last week and
which was favored by the fairest
weather, was very successful affair.
The grounds were covered for q mile
around with an immense crowd of
people, all kinds of conveyanceS, huck
ster stands, ice cream saloons, sc. AT
a low estimate there were about 5000
people present. After the arrival of
| four bands in the forenoon, the people
were called to the speakers stand,
where they were addressed in eloquent
speeches by Hon. G. T. Alexander,
John G. Love, Esq, and several other
gentlemen. Then the picnicerS distri.
buted themselves over the grounds, it
being dinner time, all desirous of still
ing their keen appetiteS by partaking of
the abundant and delicious eatables
with whichth they had stocked themselves.
After dinner the bands gave some Of
their choicest music, followed by few
more addresses. The sun was fairly
setting before the people thought Of
going home and parting from the splen
did view which that point Of the noun
tain affords, and leaving the pleasures.
of the day behind them. Everybody
went away with the conviction, that it
was the picnic Of the season.
The picnic of the st. PauIs Sun
day School, in Uaiues township, last
Saturday, was about as enjoyable an
affair as ne have attended for years.
The attendance was good, but the
grounds were not oYercrowded, and a
fellow had Il pretty fair chance to shake
hands with most everybody and pass a
few words with ones numerous friends
and acquaintances. There seemed to be
such genuine feeling of good humor
and sociality. Every one seemed to be
in a pleased and happy mood. The
singing by the school and performan-
ceS at the organ were Of Il high order.
Both show that care and practice are
exercised to a very proficient degree by
this school. We were also much
pleased with the manner in which the
Farmers Store CorIet Band acted its
part. This band has made great prog
ress truly, during the short time they
are organized, and we predict that the
boys will yet make their mark as
band of the first grade. The band was
under the leadership Of Mr.. Linn, of
Milton, their efficient teacher.
Addresses were delivered by Rev.
John Tomlinson, Rev. Samuel Smith,
B. o. Deininger and VIM. Ii. StoYer.
They were we'll received and we trust
that impressions for good have
been made. Last on the programme
( came the dinner. This important and
interesting subject was disposed of in
manner that did credit to all concern
ed. We will not attempt description
in detail of this point. We do not
| know just whose table had the most
and best, but we do know that all had
enough and lots to spare. We don't
care ever to stand at q better furnished
table in the woods than that of our
friend NJ. S. Fiedler-to whom and
family we hereby heartily tender all we
have to give-a printers warmest
thanks, for their kindness to us and
ours.
The afternoon was spent in amuse-
ments by the younger, in social CONVEX
sation by the older part of the assem-
