by it was said to be overpowering, and
so Frustrated her that some moments

anticipated with pleasure by a large body
of our citizens, who avail themselves once

antly. The management of these excur-
SONS is always admirable, and nothing is
left undone to assure the comfort and eniov-
ment of the guests. Thursday, July 18th,
is the day fixed for this seasons trip, for
which tie steamer Chester has been char
tered to carry the Changers and friends to
colchester and back She will start from
SCOTS Wharf, SO that at the very begin
ming of the trip the vexatiou and annoy
ance of reaching the Landing, Il mile away,
from which point excursions usually start,
is avoided. This has always been p great
drawback to these excursions, and the en-
terprise of the Gran gers in arranging mat
tiers so that the start may be made from
town is commendable. The steamer will be
lowed up from the head of the river, a dis
tance OF one mile, and the ing will be on

same service on the return trip. All who
desire making this excursion should secure

Almost a Blaze.

a very narrow escape from 4 damaging
fire was made al the store of Me$Srs. Callall
X Davis last Saturday evening. \ lily net
ting over the window opening was blown
into the gas jet and took fire. The flame
curled up rapidly, and was about taking
hold of a variety Of light goods in and about
the window when il was discovered. En-
it was not the easiest of tasks,
but it was finally accomplished and further
loss averted. For little while things
looked very much as though the engine or
eXtinguisher would be needed, but fortu-
nately it proved otherwise.

had turned his features into a counterpart
of one of Nast's caricatures, sent out and
engaged colored man to wait upon him
during Convalescence. Before the coiored
man arrived at the room of the sick man,
the latter had added to his already startling
and suggestive facial appearance q
coat of bright yellow iodine, which
gave the swollen and distorted frontal
piece weird and unnatural appearance.
The cOlored man, upon entering the room,
gazed with alarm at the sick man, whose
chromo-like face suggested smallpox in its
last stages. He did not tarry long, but
sped rapidly to his home with the startling
declaration that he had just escaped from a

A New Rule and u Hickory Fire.


new rule has gone into operation at
the White House. Instead of the absolute
freedom of entry, formerly granted to the
public to all the rooms on the first floor ex-
cept the private dining room, Il party of
twenty-five must now be assembled before
the major domo will show them around.
The reason of this is that from the time
President Arthur took up his abode there,
numerous petty thefts of articles occurred
"a thing comparatively unknown before
&c. because, the former Presidents having
families, the house was better watched dur
ing the day. The absence of everybody
except men servants and sightseers has
lately afforded an excellent opportunity
for sneak thieves aud after various things
had Disappeared including handsome
pair of majolica vases from the mantel of
the green room, the President reluctantly
consented to put some restrictions on the
visitors. ~ tell you what" remarked a
sable fnnctionary in the White House,
