during most of the day, cool breeze blew
steadily from the northwest from early
morning until dark, pleasantly temDering
Old Soils rays and keeping the mercury
down TO a remarkably low figure for July.
The highest notch 10 which the thermome.
ter climbed was 75', which was very mode
rate, indeed, when compared with the am
bilious figures of Saturday. The welcome
change was fully appreciated BY every one,
and the public gratitude was manifest IN
increased congregations at the various
churches, both at the morning and evening
services, while the streets were well hlled
with promenaders during the afternoon and
evening. Last night was quite cool, and
those who slept beneath blanket found 1t
decidedly comfortable.

The concert at the Park attracted large
sized crowd, although not as large as 1t
would have been on account of the recent
Fourth of July festivities. The weather
was delightful, the cool, bracing air wildly
reminding one of an October day rather
than midsummer. The crowd present was
noted for the dominance of the sterner over
the fairer sex, very few Of the latter being
present. in comparison with the throngs OF
the former. Those fortunate enough to be
there greatly enjoyed the day, the pleasant
weather enabling one to doabIy appreciate
the musical treat. The grounds were kept
open till eight o'clock, the majority of those
present remaining until that hour before
thew boarded the Elm Grove Road for home.

A very fair crowd visited Seiberts Gar
lens yesterday afternoon in fact much
Anger gathering, than was to be expected
Immediately after the Fourth. Mr.. Henry
Seibert has made quite a namber OF lm-
provements to the garden, by which the
quests can vile away the hours of their visit
Billiards, rowboats, tenpins, &c, are EN-
raced in these attractions. The best OF
order prevails at the resort this season, con-
sequently it is receiving the just patronage
Of our people.
Rather a good story is going the rounds,
he hero of which is young gentleman
connected with the staff of one Of the
Parkersburg dailies. The gentleman wan
dered up from Wood county's capital city
on the morning of the Fourth, and after
lasting about for some means Of enjoying
himself accepted an invitation to attend a
private picnic in the neighbOrb9od of Elm
Grove. After basking in the sweet smiles
Of the ladies until noon, and getting outside
Of rather more than his share of the con-
Yentioual picnic dinner, be determined to
return to the city. No means Of convey
ance, however, was at hand, and he had
Just made up his mind to walk to the park,
when a one-horse buggy hove in sight, in
which two strangers were seated. The pen
cil-pusher hailed the occupants of the con
yeyance. and begged for lift as far rs the
END of the motor line. The gentlemen were
disposed to be accommodating but pointed
mt that their animal was pretty well eX-
austed by long drive and doubted if he
.ould make town with the additional load.
The scribe persisted in his request, however,
and exhibiting roll of bills, offered to pay
nv SUM they might name for the
accommodation. After some hesitation
,e was taken aboard, and in due
;eason the park was reached Here it was
earned the motor had just left for town, and
he scribe, with renewed promises of liberal
" in the way of passage money, prevailed
N his Oenefactors to bring him on in, which
vas done, to the serious injury of the horse
When the party had disembarked, the news
PAPER man made inquiry as to what was to
pay, at the same time enlarging upon the
great service done him. The gentlemen
'echned to set price upon their services
nut intimated that as their passenger 50
fully appreciated their kindness he would
not be apt to do any injustice in the matter
of paying for the same The question of
compensation thus left to himself
sthe Wood county man, after a labor
Gus and painfully long search through
the pockets of his unmentionabes,
produced and handed over fourteen
One-cent pieces, gravely shook hands
with each Of the recipients of
his munifcent bounty, and took his de-
parture, while the man with the money,
dazed by the magnitude of his good fortune,
absent-mindedly dragged his companion
into ueighboring saloon and squandered
the wealth for beer

The action of President Arthur in giving
to Mr.. John Jarrett, of Pittsburg, the late
President Of the Anna gamated Association,
he position of Chief Of the Bureau of Labor
;atisticS, has given satisfaction to the mill
.neu of this city and vicinity, and to work
ngmen generally. Naturally the X. of l.
desired their late Grand Master
Workman, Mayor Powderly, to have
The office but when it be-
aame apparent that he would be unsuccess-
al they gladly accepted Mr.. Jarrett as
man in every way fitted for the duties Of
he position. Mr.. Jarrett is probably the
2est-informed man in the cosatry on mat
-ers concerning the various trades unions
and the rights and wrongs OF the laboring
,lasses, and workmen in all branches of in
iustry will be satisfied to leave their inter
'sts in his hands.

That internal racket ought to be stopped
by Council, said an Island gentleman yes

packet Willie Austen commenced to whistle
Just before passing under the suspension
bridge. THAT boat sometimes be-
