The Sandwich club" composed
of thirteen worthy young men of
this city, on Monday last, took a
brief respite from their arduous
labors and picnicked at Terry's
Springs, in the town of Linden.
They had not long been seated
beneath the shade of great oak
when it was discovered that there
was wild animal' in the tree, to
which naturalists had given no
name. A united attack was made
upon it. One of the party it is
reported, was so anxious to display
his courage, that it was difficult
to keep him from interviewing the
animal" The merry company ar
rived in this city about 8 o'clock
p. m. They favored our city with
some choice selections of music
before disbanding for the night.
