BUNKER HILL ITEMS.

A trip to Jordan's Sulphur Springs
M. E. S. S. picnic.
Last Thursday morning the Presby-
terrain S. S., together with some
members of other schools, were seen
vending their way toward Winches-
ter at lively rate; on they went
until Stevenson's was reached when
all turned their faces eastward; in
about half an hours drive Jordan's
Springs, the end of our destination,
was reached much to the delight of
the party, as the roads were dusty
and the ride tiresome; but as the lit
tic cherubs soon found swings and
several other amusements, they were
happy and soon convulsed in laugh
ter; then the tops of distant peaks
were reached, and waters of the diff
ferent springs drank; croquet and
other games INDUCED in by the older
ones thus making it pleasant for all.
On the Enclosure are several sleeping
apartments, flower gardens, summer
houses, and everything most lovely
and convenient. At twelve the pic
nicers made for their baskets and
soon sumptuous repast was spread
and their appetites appeased and
hearts made glad. After that their
attention was drawn towards the
hotel where some excellent music
was furnished, by an italian band
Prof. DePierre, formerly a dancing
master in your town, performed beau
tifully on the violin, together with
other instruments. The next place
our attention was drawn to, was the
tenpin alley. A great excitement
prevailed, among our Bunker Hill
gentlemen. Quite an exciting con-
test was being played by Messrs.
Payne, Kilmer, Strong and Lafevere,
Democrats; y Henson, Lamon, Gold
and Clendening, (opposite y they
were like the base ball club, some
wild rolling was done, both parties
were waiting with their hats full Of
"cheers." When all at once the
loud yell resounded through the alley,
"Hurrah for the Republicans" but
alas their countenance fell the game
was counted and a cheer for the
Democrats went up by the "per-
sonal beauties " much louder than
the echo. After several games of ten
pins, we were introduced to Mr.. Jor-
dan, proprietor, and the rest of the
evening was spent in conversation
and other innocent amusements.
Then after few hours drive, Bunker
Hill was reached, and while memory
holds its sway the recollection of that
pleasant day will be long to be oblit-
Grated from the minds of those who
were present.
The M. E. S. S. picnic held in Tate's
Grove last Saturday evening was well
attended considering the inclemency
of the weather; several addresses,
both interesting and appropriate,
WCIS WlilCll oSCtiSu
ed in and appreciated. Revs. Andrew,
Hildredth, Foard, Stumpand Strother
were present, and also the Mechanics
Band of your city, which rendered
some SPLENDID music. Vocal music
was also rendered. Some of the
smaller children sang several pieces
admirably, which added much to the
program. And altogether I believe
pleasant evening was spent by all.
The M. E. Sunday School, North,
also held a picnic at the above named
place, some weeks ago which, too,
was very pleasant affair; forgetting
to make note of it will not now as
it's rather late, and good deal of
space has been already taken up.
