A Grand Success.

The Long Reach Temperance
Picnic was grand success in every
way, and the managers deserve an
universal vote of thanks from all
the temperance people of the State.
Nearly 100 excursionists went
up from Parkersburg on the 0. R.
R., and more than thousand peo-
pie were present, with enough Ty-
Ter county provisions on the ground
to have fed nearly thousand more.
DR.. Warner spoke in the fore
noon, and Mrs. Wells, of Indiana,
afternoon, followed by nearly a
dozen impromptu short speeches.
Hon. Oliver Gorrell, member of
the Legislature from Peasants
county, was called on to preside,
and most happily filled the office,
making a short but telling temper
ance speech on taking the chair.
Among the liveliest speeches of
the day was that Of Capt. Baggs,

one.
