cream at picnic at Pottersvile, In this

loud threats have been made against a
certain man upon whom suspicion has set
tied as being guilty of putting poison in
the cream.

triotic greeting.
At o'clock, the Haymakers' Associa-
ton, OF this city, paraded, headed by the
New Hope Cornet Band. The men car
ried wreaths of grass, and their straw
hats were decorated with grasses. They
carried hay rakes, scythes, &c. The pro-
cession wound up with hay rake. They
deserve praise for making pleasing dis
play and cnlivening the morning hours.
In the afternoon, the Knights Of Labor
of this city held a picnic on the cricket
grounds, and ice cream, soda water and
sarsaparilia received ample patronage.
A large dancing platform was filled con-
stantly, and hundreds looked on. About
800 was realized, we understand. The
order and the committee deserve praise
for excluding all intoxicating drinks from
the grounds and for the excellent police
arrangements, which commanded perfect
order.

been given in our city.

day. There was considerable drunken
ness, but not as gross or as general as on
some other occasions of the same kind.

Cut With Glass.
On Tuesday evening Helen, daughter
of ex City Clerk Will Hart, accidentally
fell into one of the skylights at the
Union House, breaking three of the
large panes of glass. She was badly cut
about the head with the broken glass,

 The Great Salt Lake Is about eight miles west of the city. This lake, as all your readers doubtless know, is perhaps the most remark able body of water in the world. 1t is 100 miles long by 50 wide, and has an average depth of 10 feet. It's surface is i,400 feet above sea level. and it has no known out let. Three fresh water rivers, the Jordan, the Weber, the Bear. and several smaller streams fed by springs and melting snows in the mountains, empty into 1t. and yet it's waters contain twenty-five per cent of pure salt in solution.
