passed, about 2:30 o'clock, but the des-
tination had scarcely been reached ere
the lowering clouds again opened and
thoroughly drenched many of the
young folks, the sheltering places not
being sufficient to accommodate all.

ed. The festivities we're concluded
this forenoon at the different school
houses, and the good things in the eat
ing line disposed of.
