PICNICs are getting dangerous, or
rather the attendance upon them
A young man in New York State
went to one the other day and
while there danced with a young
lady, after which pleasure, he look
cd a little too deeply upon the wine
that is red, went home. A few days
later he was informed that during
his hilarity he had married the girl
and now she produces the clergy
mans certificate and fiaunts it in his
face. This should be a warning to
picnic goers, especially of the male
persuasion.

The President, although slightly
affected by the fatigue of his jour
ney to Long Branch, which caused
his pulse to rise somewhat higher,
after he had been placed in his cot
tage, has, on the whole, notwith-
standing the severe heat at the
Branch, which was the severest
ever known there, passed the week
very comfortably. He has gener-
ally slept well, and at the last re-
port, was considered better than he
had been for ten days. His appe-
tite is greatly improved and he is
now taking chicken broth.
Three of his physicians, Drs. Rey-
burn, Barnes and Woodward, to-
gether with Mrs. DIR. Edison, his
nurse, have retired from the case.
There are the most buoyant hopes
of his ultimate recovery now felt
throughout the country at large.

THE PRESIDENT REMOVED TO
LONG BRANCH-HTS CON-
DXTAON.

President Garfield was removed
from the White House, at Washing
ton, last Tuesday morning, to Long
Branch, on a special car fitted up
for the purpose. His removal was
successfully accomplished without
any mishap ornotew0rthy incident.
At precisely $40 o'clock the Presi-
dent was carried from the sick room
to large Express wagon, which
had been backed up to the steps of
the front portico. He was carried
out on the same bed on which he
bad lain ever since he was shot.
His features though greatly ENACT
ated, wore patient and resigned
expression. A small platform had
been erected from the portico to the
wagon, and across this he was ten
derby and carefully carried and
placed in the wagon. As the ex-
press wagon moved away from the
door of the executive mansion, the
President feebIy but cheerily lifted
his left hand and waved good-by to
the inmates of the house who had
assembled on the porch to bid him
God speed. The wagon was driven
with the horses at a walk, down
Pennsylvania Avenue to the depot,
where hes was carefully removed to
the car which had been prepared
for him. The train started immedi-
ately for Washington, going at the
rate Of almost a mile minute.
Nothing of note transpired ON the
journey. The President stood it
splendidly, even better than his
physicians, who accompanied him,
had anticipated.
They arrived at Long Branch, a
distance of 2S1 miles, about / O'Clock
and the patient was Immediately
taken to Francklyn cottage which
had been made ready for his recep-
ton.
