stand was very successful affair. 1t was
gotten mp By Mr. John Wirts, teacher OF

The Mcdowell creek and Happy Home
schools united with the above, together
with several Of Lebanon's citizens. Be-
sides the basket picnic. were some excel
lent literary exsrcises.in which Miss Ollie
Leng, teacher Of the Happy Home School,
gave > recitation, we'll rendered; Prof
Gilbert, of Lebanon, Peter Powell, Mr.
Sutton, Mr. Williams and others deliver

prevailed. The dinner which followed,
our worthy correspondent tells US, capped
the climax, and the manner in which
chickens, hams, pies and cakes disappear

starved editor of country newspaper. 1t
certainly did homer to our canadian friends

As told us Harrisburg has a bully who
needs attending to, although it seems that
the people there are afraid to do anything.
Wednesday he got into quarrel with an
old gentleman, pulled his beard and slapped
him in the face, then pounded another gen
tlemAn who advised the old gentleman to 60
home, and in the evening, without any prov.
ication, thrashed q drummer of advanced
age, so badly that he had to 60 bed. Moth
ing was done. we understand. The above Il

ilege OF seeing the street parade, though, in
which six blood hounds, duly muzzled, two
dsnkeys and six darksys presented some
martial music of high order. We under.
stand that the treup is good one.
