The Sunday School excursion to
Chautauqua Lake on Thursday last
was success in all respects, and was

of $50 persons, old and young, having
boarded the train. The day opened

party we're obliged to leave for their

concert then in progress was finished,
and they departed very reluctantly.
There is much to see and hear at
Chautauqua, vastly too much, in fact,
for one day, aud certainly too much

trip homeward was not so pleasant as

the early morning ride of nearly

much of a strain for a number, and
good deal of sickness was the result.
All arrived home alive. however,

accompanied the train from his place
to Oil City, and soon had peace and
quiet restored among the sick. The
trip is too long for one days fun,
nevertheless the little folks seem to
endure it better than the older ones.
