Tn picnic at Wellington last Thursday
was n grand success In every particular. the
weather was fine, the crowd large, the pro-
visions abundant, the candidate numerous, the
music good, the beaux gallant aud the ladies,

", and Clay township especially, only can
produce, We exceedingly regret that the
crowded state Of our columns with political
communications prevent US from giving IL u
more extended notice.
A crowd of little negro boys jumped upon n
passenger coach, which was mex TO an engine.
at the Nc. Z. depot, Monday evening, just as
the train was leaving the depot, and one q
them fell directly across a rail aud under the
engine. and but for the wonderful presence
Of mind and great strength of Mr.. Charles
Jackson would have been cut 10 pieces. Mr..
ia kson grabbed the boy by the coat Just N
the nick Of time ana with one mighty effort
threw him from under the train out on 10 the
platform. The negroes coat was torn and his
ungrateiulness for the act Of Mr.. JAG kson was
shown by the "daggers' he looked at that
gentleman when he found out that his clothes
h al been damaged. We have repeatly warn
ed parents Of the danger their children are IN
when they are around the depot, but no at.
lenlion seems TO be paid to the matter. When
some OF them are killed the railroad will be
held responsible.
