A Grand Picnic.

On Saturday last the most enjoya-
BILE pinto of the season came off at
VIM. Browning's grove, three miles
south of Oakland, The success ofthe
entertainment was due to the skillful
management and untiring energy of
Mr.. l.. l.. Conneway, who originated
the idea, and is a host himself on
such occasions. The sole inspiring
music of "Steye" Browning's fiddle
could be heard from A. NJ. to II P.
NJ, keeping the disciples of Terp-
sichore in lively motion during the
day and night. Good order prevail
ed, and all present, including many
of CARROTS fairest daughters, declar-
ed it to be "the boss picnic of the
season." and mine host Conneway a
prince of good fellows.

Joseph Paxton. a character we'll
known in Piedmont, was arrested
there Saturday night by Officer Combs
charged with assauIting Miles Long,

been doing some work in the Elk

before Justice Manner Jenkins, who
committed him to Jail. 1t is stated
that Paxton struck Long with car
coupling, knocking him down and
then attempted to rob him. Before
Paxton got any money, however, he
was frighted off by persons whom
Longs cries brought to the scene.

budget. The sudden calling of"down
brakes" has been noticed, and the
Democrats have been busy within
the last two days inquiring the why
and wherefore of this sudden stop
page. Their inquiries have led them
into other departments, and in all,
except in the Post0ffice, the same
state of affairs has been discovered.
In the PostOffice the fourth class
postmasters are heing appointed as
usual, but look over the list shows
that they are appointed only to fill
vacancies, and very few, if any, are
being removed for offensive partisan
ship. The reason for this shutting off
the food for the hungry masses is
none other than an order from the
White House. At a recent Cabinet
meeting the question of discharging
present incumbents on the ground of
offensive partisanship was thoroughly
discussed, and President Cleveland
announced that the sword has two
edges, and already it was beginning
to cut the wrong way. The great de-
light with which this cause for re-
moval was received promised good
things, but it has proven a boone
rang. 1t had already begun to hurt
the administration, and the Presi-
dent called a halt for a time. His
wishes were no sooner made known
than his Cabinet bowed IN obeisance,
and that is why the appointments
are now so few and far between. The
Cabinet officers are looking up other
charges than offensive partisanship
to lay against office holders. The
course Of the President is the result
OF advice and conferences with lead
ing politicians who have seen the
harm already done the administra-
ton by this cry"

observed that there has been no no.
tice given through your worthy COL
umns of the death of little Alma
Harvey, we yet ask for space to re-
port as given through the Messenger.
On Wednesday evening, May 90,
1885, near Camden, w. Va, Alma
A, daughter of John w. and Mary
E. Harvey, was found dead in a
spring not far distant from the house,
having fallen in and drowned before
she was missed. Little Alma, whose
age was Just two years and eight
months, seemed to possess more than
ordinary knowledge and department
for one so young. Her mother has
been an invalid for over two years,
but Alma seemed to understand it,
and made but little trouble. She
would show even patience and gentle
ness whenever she could not receive
the accustomed maternal care. Quiet
~ and demurely would she keep her
seat during the course of Sabbath
School or church service, as if fully
comprehending the propriety of re-
ligious worship. Though young she
will be missed. The bereayed family
have the sympathy of the entire com.
munity, for the sudden departure of
their cherished little one was a sad
stroke.
