One Of the most pleasant occasions of
the season occurred on Wednesday, the
10th, in the form of an "outing," pop
ularly known as basket picnic" by
the Universalists and friends of this
and the south village, at the home and
grounds of Mr.. and Mrs, ID. w. Mar
den. From early in the afternoon UNI
til dark did friends arrive from all
parts of the town. AS we assembled the
hill, we could see the Chinese lanterns,
with their variety of colors, which dec
Grated the front of the house and lawn,
moving in the gentle zephyrs, giving a
pretty effect. Arriving on the hill we
were greeted by the hostess and ladies
of the Helping Hand Society. Trip
to the woods, croquet, pleasant chats
and other advertisements occupied The
time until the tables spread on the
lawn presented very inviting COLA
ton. A smile was seen playing about
the countenance of the young minister
and well it might for he would be a
cold hearted SHEPPARD who would not
rejoice ON such an occasion. After
song and music had been INDUCED in,
many friends took their departure hav-
ing had very pleasant afternoon.
In the evening the young people took
possession of the premises A score
came from Weston to join in the fes-
tivies. The host and hostess were
equal to the occasion. After having a
general good time such as only young
people can, light refreshments were
served on the illuminated lawn, which
added much to the enjoyment of the
evening. All voted it grand good
time.
Among the special invited guests
were Mrs. Hayden and family of
Braintree, Mass, Mr.. and Mrs. Hew
lit of Bridgeport Conn.,, Mr.. and Mrs.

emeralds were the favorable jewels, and

pearls. Now emeralds are no longer

the scarcity of emeralds is the decrease

SAN BgRNARDINo, July 1.-The board
OF supervisors met yesterday with the
express purpose of reducing the salaries
of deputies employed in the various
county Offices. They were of the opin-
ion that they would also reduce the num-
bef of deputies in several Offices, and
after due deliberation they decided to
only cut off the heads of two deputies,
one in the county clerks and one in the
sherif's. In the forenoon session they
reduced the salary of Clerk Bolton from
Sl25 to $110 but rescinded the action at
their afternoon meeting, as they found
upon looking up the subject that the
clerk of the board was made a county
Office by an act of the legislature with
his salary fixed by law. The segregation
of Riverside county and the summer sea-
son coming on have reduced the volume
OF business in most of the Offices and the
present force is kept hardly employed.
After some discussion the board came to
the conclusion that the laborer was
worthy Of his hire, and let the subject
drop.
