| To the edit or OF The Republican.
We as a Sunday school respect
fully ask space in your valuable
paper for few words. We decided
to have a picnic for the benefit of
the school, and gave cordial invi-
tation to all. We were very glad
to see our neighboring Sunday
schools come to spend tn eday with
us, and anticipated pleasant day
with them, but as the case too often
is, sad to say, there were some par
ties present from another part Of
the county (but we 10 not think
they were Sunday school scholars)
who it appears had an old grudge
against some of our neighbor boys,
and raised a row. 1t was none of
our school, and we will say to the
folks of New Germany, that the
people of Blttinger had nothing to
do with it at all, and have nothing
but the best of wishes for them.
We would ask them not to have any
hard feelings toward the people of
this place, as the parties who were
connected with the row have no
connection with the Sunday schools.
We will say to those who were the
cause of the disturbance, that it
would be we'll fer them to learn how
to conduct themselves at a social
gathering, and moreso at a religious
one. In conclusion we will assure
the people that it was not through
any i'll will from the people of our
| place that this affair happened.
