lance, and let them learn to go to
people like officers ofthe law should.
From our own observation these
are the brdveSt set of officers we have
yet seen. An officer does himself
no credit if he makes an arrest with
out bruising a head. We would be
glad if the case is not so bad as rep
resented, but some of the witnesses,
white and colored cannot be disput-
ed. Friends ofhumanity should see
if the law is properly executed by
its officers and when they become
too brave be asked to step down and
out. Judgment is more necessary
qualification of an officer than brav-
cry.

The Observer of Wednesday pub

VIM. Pennington and his wife by
four police officers which he styles
"bravely done"
We give below what we learn

1t seems that on Saturday night
Mr.. Pennington and wife were play

handkerchief with some money tied

her to go with him, but the hus-
band refused to let her go. On
Tuesday morning, policemen Car

the house corner Mint and I'd street,
found her sitting on the bed un-
dressed (for she was in delicate

Our Gala Day.

The College and 7th street Pres
byterian Sabbath School, held it's
annual midsummer picnic last Fri
day the 21st, at Phifer's pond. Ac-
cording to arrangement, the school,
with few friends, met in the
church at 8 o'clock a. m. At st,
pupils being by pairs in line, pro-
cession moved for the grove under
the following management: Mas
ter Leander W. Hayes, Marshal /;
Master Jimmie James, STANDARD
bearer, with Masters Willie Banks
and Moses Goodwine, as aids Mas
ter VIM. Rankin, drummer.
With gay hearts the pupils trip
ped briskly along, keeping time to
Master Rankin's marshal-thrub-a-
dub-dubl Reaching the grove and
spring about nine, the girls betook
themselves to strolling through the
grove, &C., while the boys, with
high expectations, betook themselves
to angling in the pond. This latter
amusement being kept up until
quite an amount Of patience was ex-
hausted, Especially by your hum
BILE writer,) the game was abandon
ed with the following flattering re-
suit: Highest number caught by
a single individual, fifteen baby fish
least number caught by a single in,
dividual-n0nei How could it be
otherwise when most of the boys
had hooks beyond the swallowing
capacity of the fish?
Afterwards the boys, yes, few
girls too, amused themselves suffi.
GENTLY with ball and bat, when
loudly and far more sl1llfhl than
ever, appetite being judge, Master
Rankin's t-r-r-r-rub, t-r-r-r-rub, tia
rub-dub, &C., summoned the picnic
ers around q splendid dinner. AS
to the number Of descriptive abjec-
tives and explanatory words neces-
sary to give at least q faint impress
sion Of the good cheer and love for
Sabbath schools generated around
that table, we must call some one Of
our kind and patriotic editors to
our rescue. One, for instance, who
can give quite q dissertation on
"the sublime" after having helped
to ransack such o table.
Between 3 and A o'clock, p. M,
rain poured down in torrents, how
ever, it did not come in time to mar
pleasure, for mirth was somewhat
tagging and many had betook them
selves to the city. Only few got
wet since the neighboring houses
and mill was granted to us for shell
ter. Special thanks is due Mr.. I'D.

no doubt the Magnetic Medicine will
