due to Mr.. Stafford to say that he has
conducted himself creditably through

On Thursday of last week, the long
talked of Sunday school excursion
took place, and it is really remarkable
TO see the number of grown up Sun
day school scholars there are in this
town. The excursion train arrived
Le"e at $50, a. m, with ten cars at
tached. By seven o'clock the seats
were nearly all taken, and the train
started, stopping but twice beyond
Hyde Park, and reaching the ''City of
Maquam" at about 1890. The new
steamer of the St. j. & L. G. r. r.
Co. was at the wharf, and was quickly
loaded to nearly the extent of its IL
cense, and here to contradict many
stories in regard to the boat, it will
be well enough to say that the ''Ma-
guam" is licensed to carry 500 per-
sons, and there were All on board, as
near as they could be counted. At a
few minutes past eleven, the boat
swung off the dock, and the trip across
to Plattsburgh was commenced. The
weather was delightful, the lake COM
hn ri1 do
joyed by all, except perhaps few
who were unfortunate enough to suf-
fer from sea- sickness. Plattsburgh
was reached, and a stop of but ten
minutes allowed, when the boat again
started ON the return. The scenery
on and about the lake is beautiful, and
if anything ought to be enjoyed, it is
a steamboat ride on Lake Champlain.
Lunch baskets, pals, etc., were well
patronized at frequent intervals. Ma
guam was reached when occurred
general stampede for seats in the cars,
and many were the maneuvrs, to gain
that end. At s p. NJ. the excursion
train arrived at Morrisville, when the
crowd of tired excursionists unloaded.
All who participated, will remember
with pleasure the successful and en-
joyable affair. Con-.
