WRESTLING MArCu.-As we stat
ed last week, there are prospects Of
a wrestling match between Jack Car
keek, this city, and Pat ODonneIl,
of Buffalo, n. T., Cornish style.
Mr.. Carkeek received a letter Mon
day from Duncan G. Ross, who is
at Bay City, Michigan, stating that
he knew nothing about Cornish style,
but could get Pat O'Donnell to
wrestle him; and that Mr.. 0'Donnell
would be in Darlington any day the
parties here might name In an
swering the letter, Monday next was
named as the day for arranging the
preliminaries. O'Donnell is feet
IL inches tall, weighs 235 pounds
when III condition, and measures As
inches around the chest. lie is said
to be one Of the best athletes in the
country, but the boys here have
strong faith in Jacks prowess as a
Cornish wrestler, and their man and
money are ready at any time. The
match, if made, will probably take
place in this city, and will attract
sporting men from all parts of the

OK Thursday, last the 9th inst. oc-
culred one of the most pleasant
etents it has been our fate to chron-
icle. Upon Invitations issued by
the Mrs. Gale and G. Spensley to a
picnic at the residence of Mr. Thos.
NanMatre, ten miles east Of this
city, assembled together about 20
persons at the public square at 10
O'Clock, whence a start was made, in
a procession down Main st. at about
lo:45 AM The line was nicely
formed until after leaving the city,
when some became bewildered, &,
tangled up, lost. But after a con
sultation the tangled ones agreed TO
follow their nose and leave the rest
toi1hance, which after leading them
some three miles in roundabout
way, brought them to the elegant
farm mansion OF Mr.. NanMatre,
where extensive preparations had
been made for the enjoyment of the
picnicers.
The house, barn and lawn were
placed at their convenience. Oats,
hay and water rendered free, and
owing to this fact some of the ami
mails enjoyed such feed as they
never had before A bountiful
spread was ready by l;45, and al
proceeded to squat themselves on
the grass and do justice to IT, After
dinner all formality was thrown
aside, and everyone proceeded to en-
Joy himself to the best Of his ability.
Various games were INDUCED in,
among which were match games of
croquet, foot races, etc. The foot
race was won by Mr.. Bates; Jim
Hutchison ID; Prof. Moffett Sd.
Late arrivals coming in swelled
the party to about l25. At about
o'clock most Of the party had de-
parted for home. Everyone seemed
to be perfectly satisfied with the
treatment received from the Van
Matre family
Mr.. YanDIatre has occasion to be
more than proud of his farm, which
is undoubtedly one of the best con
ducted 10 this section. We heard
many ordinations of envy uttered
by our "city fathers" at the conyen-
fence and beauty Of the place.

LAST Saturday the opening Of a
mound within the city limits Of
Prairie du CHEN brought to light
relics Of a prehistoric race, such as:
One copper axe . in. long and { in.
wide, one round copper chisel Q in.
long, one sword-shaped arrow head
3xlG in., two obsidion aTow.heads
ixo in., two pieces Of copper joined
together forming a half oval filled
with some mineral substance. 1t is
not many months since this same
mound was dug into and quite a
number of articles were found by
the prospectors, among them were a
vase and as much as would fill a peck
measure of beads, This mound is
supposed to contain very many
other valuable relics not brought to
light as yet, and it is likely that it
will be entirely obliterated by the
rayages made upon it by the curious.
