A visit 10 the Zoo.

About fourteen members Of the
American Literary Society, of this city,
went on an excursion yesterday to the
Geological Garden in Paramount Park,
Phil Gielphia. They left this city from
Fourth street wharf, on the steam er
Wilmington, and had a delightful trip
up the river, arriving in Philadelphia
at ten o'clock. From thence they took
the Walnut street cars, which landed
them at the gardens, where the party
enjoyed themselves in looking At the
various animals on exhibition. The
ladies OF the party amused themselves
in riding the donkey around the
grounds. Ice cream and cake were fre
quently indulgei in during the day and
a good time was had in general.
Some of the party, becoming tired,
decised to return home on the boat,
which leaves Philadelphia at 43O
O'Clock, but the majority decided to re-
main in the city and 60 down on an
evening train. Those who went homo
on the boat missed q good treat, As the
party who remained had feast Of
straw berries and ice cream.

children. John is not only drunkard
but is subject to Its that have rendered
him silly. The old woman was also
addicted to drink and tor the past few
weeks has been under the influence of

ed youth of 16 years, has been in the
agonies of first love with Miss Jennie
Faulkner, 10 years old, daughter of a
well to-do and highly respected family.
The affair having assumed a more dan.
gerous form than school mate attach
ment, the mother of the girl forbade the
youth to visit the house and further as.
sociation with the child. She had no
further objection than their youth.
Young Drake asked the girl to elope
with him, but she declared her inten.
ton to obey her mother.
Having broken the news to her lover
in person gently but firmly, young
Drake accused her of having deserted
him for rival, and they separated in
mutual distrust on Tuesday. On We'd
nesday the girl wos returning from
school when she met the lad and spoke
pleasantly TO him. He was white with
passion, and made no answer, but drew

feet apart, his aim failed him. She
turned on her heel and ran down the
street. The boy ran after her, firing as
they ran, until q gentleman caught the

the scene and demanded admittance,
but was refused. In the meantime
