PRETTY GIRLS ON A CAR.-That was
genteel and pleasant picnic party that
boarded the train over the Z. Y. road on
Saturday last-Or at least that was the
verdict of the passengers after they got
off. They weIe taken on at Henderson,
MAYORS, and Barton, and were going to
chew cake and dead chicken at Ridge
ways grove. The ladies were all hand
some, and looked real SlCeet in their
"bare-armed' summer dresses, low-neck-
ed shoes, and pretty, tasteful summer
hats and bonnets. The "boys" were all
fastened to pretty little buttoL-hole
every respect. Then there was our pop
ular friend Wise. Stilwell (whose ac-
quaintance we made when serving IN
Gle Sam, with whole bevy of pretty
girls under his care, and didn't seem a
bit scared. (0h! why didn't we come to
this country by way of Colerain p There
seemed to be a preponderance of ladies,
but doubtless there were hundreds of
"cassimere cusses" sitting on the fence
at the grove waiting. All honor to Mr..
OF Mrs. or Miss Ridgeway, or one of the
boys, whoever keeps the grove. 1t look.
ed pleasant place, adorned with plat
forms and seats, and locustS, and we
have no doubt our party found plenty
of wild honey" as they sat ON the green
sward holding each other by the paws.
On the return trip we held a coroner'S
inquest to learn why this was thus, and
was informed that Miss Brown had just
closed a pleasant and successful term of
school at Pasco, and that friends and
and brethren dear were hav-
ing good time in honor of the event.
NOTES AND QUERIEs.-Was Miss Bell
Brown principal of ladies' seminary?
What caused the girls to utter little
tunnel? were they caused by impending
danger, or a remembrance of danger
passed? Has Mr. D. E. Milar received
his share of cake yet? Ours can be sent
as freight. We would like to go to school
to Miss Bell Brown ourself. AS the
weather is now too warm for taffy-ex-
tension parties, make pfck-niX and talk |
"taffy."
