"A picnic that had been arranged for
Tuesday was stopped by the threatening
aspect of the skies and resolved itself INTO
an informal dance at Mr. 0. NJ Pettit's
house Tuesday evening.
MIR. Rouse Simmons told us at dinner
time that his son Sam IS in Chicago,
where he is having an operation per-
formed on his eyes, which is a very pain
full and delicate one.
The Congregational Sunday school
picnic will occur to-day in the grove at
the Petrifed Springs in Somers- 1t will
be basket picnic and every one is sup
posed to go we'll provided.
The concert at the Congregational
church last Thursday evening was very
we'll attended. The music was very fair
and Miss Clark elocution good, but the
audience was not very enthusiastic. Miss
Phelps selections on the harp were appar-
entity enjoyed the most
This is the season of the year in
which every good American who can af-
ford it wants to see Paris and other Eu-
ropean cities. Kenosha furnishes her
portion of these pilgrims, and to-day
Miss Julia Allen and her brother, Mr.. N.
r. Allen, leave for New York to take the
French Steamer Champagne on Satur-
day Bon voyage, as we say in Paris.
Prof, Seaver has written to friends in
Kenosha about his visit to the Passion
Play at Oberammergau. We shall await
his return, when we hope to present to
our readers an account of the drama as
given by the Tyrolese peasants.

An accident happened to Jake Eoll-
mer at Whitaker's foundry yesterday. He
was working at a lathe, and attempted to
remove the strap before the lathe stopped.

Miss Carrie Petit gave a yellow-tea
in honor of Miss Kehlor, who with her
mother, is visiting at Mrs. Pettit's last
Friday evening. The guests were well
coined on tie lawn, and then they repair
ed to the house where delicious tea was
served. The decorations We're in yellow,
sunfowers being especially noticeable.
After tea there was dancing, and the
young people report very pleasant time
The other night we thought that we
had discovered the cave-dwellers of Keno
sha, and we thought of writing to Lieut..
Schwatka to inform him Of our discovery,
with view to exhibiting them in con
junction with the Mexican cave-dwellers,
when we learned that Master Douglas
Newell had excavated cave in his back
yard and was entertaining some OF his
young boy friends. They passed the
night there.
No matter what strides we make to-
wards higher development, nc matter
how near we draw to the millennium yet
there are some things which we retain for
.old sakes sake Billy and his squeeze
box will be with us living entities and
those who in childhood danced to his
tuneful tunes, like to revive those early
memories. He, the squeeze-box, another
man and violin formed the orchestra for
Mrs O. NJ. Pettit's dance on Tuesday
evening.
