We are authorized to say that the Sun
day school picnic advertised to come of
at Mr.. Robert GrandstafFs spring, few
weeks ago, under the auspices of " Palmy-
IA Sunday school, was gotten up without
either the consent or knowledge of the
superintendent or any Of the teachers, and
therefore was not attended by the school.
Two Of our young men, who said they
had been attending Sunday school across
the way last Sunday, tried to elude one
of our boys by coming in at the lower end
of the town, thinking that he would be at
the upper end at that hour. Ask Hugh
what he said to Sam when they saw this
yorng man standing on the corner Of Main
and Water streets.
Read the News from Iiawkinstown
and see whether ed" lied about the
leader of the democratic band, of this
place, playing three parts, &c, in that
town recently. Also note that the citi-
zens Of Hawkinstown say they knew
what they were talking about when they
made the remark And then ask the
members of the above mentioned band,
who are running around looking for au-
thors, if they have found any lately.
On Saturday last the Srd inst, Miss Ella
Dysart, a most estimable young lady, died

years. She was great favorite and
leaves a large circle of friends to cherish
her memory and regret her early DEATH
She was a daughter of the late Abraham
Dysart Her remains were taken TO Green
Hill for intorment on Sunday last.
Should any of our citizens be compelled
to visit a certain drug store, in our town.
after the clerk has retired, they must not
get impatient and leave II he does not re-
spond promptly. Only last week he was
a little too hasty in opening the door, and
had to " cut the pigeon wing" around the
counter in order to keep several ladies
from seeing him in his night attire, and
he now says he intends to respond to
every knock, but not until every button
is properly buttoned.
The passenger train on Saturday last
brought to our town the " devil we
mean the devil Of the HERALD ofice-Mr.
Harry Harman We learn that he made
several "mashes" while here, and it is
hoped that he will. on his next visit to this
place. which doubtless will be soon, wear
his green goggles which the HERALD some
time since said the Mayor Of Woodstock
compelled him to wear in order to protect
the young ladies Of that town from his fas-
cinating glance.
Last March a certain young man OF this
place, then dude. accompanied a certain
young lady, who was going away, to the
depot. On this occasion he wore cut
away coat, diamond-pointed shoes, "A
brown Derby hat, and sported dainty
dude cane Note the contrast. After be
ing notified last Saturday that this same
young lady WAS expected to return, and
who did return on that day, he was seen
at the depot and described TO MS as wear
ing an old straw hat, buttoned shoes, but
not buttoned, and no coat at all. What
brought about this change : Can any one
tells Perhaps it was an anonymous letter
Mrs. Wells. Of Indiana, and member
Of the National Committee ofthe ". Z. J.
Union, addressed two large aud attentive
audiences upon the subject Of temperance
on Saturday aud Sunday nights last. iie'
addresses were remarkably fine and he'
reasoning and manner OF handling the
subject were 50 logical and practical as Il

Of the great good she is accomplishing
No one could oppose womnn's work fol
