A large representation of the fruit

an organization i'll the Equity court

for employment of a resident mana

shipment of the several varieties OF
fruit will be furnished by the manager,

seems that this movement will be pro-
ductive of the best results, by greatly

THE SHELTON EXCURSION.
Our Visitors Treated with 0lym-
Pi&~ Hospitality.

Promptly on the hour promised,
10 A. NJ. last Sunday, the excursion
party from Shelton arrived at Perci-
walls dock, on Capt. Tew's steamer,
named after the home ofthe visitors
the City of Shelton. A joyful crowd
of over 100 blithesome men and wo-
men filed up the gang-plank. to be
met and welcomed by as many of the
fair and the brave of the capital city.
The day was spent in visiting the
several points of interest about town,
and many of our people accompanying
the eXcursionists, gave the appearance
of gala day, which was largely en-
HANGED by the strains of martial
music from the Shelton band, which
was almost ubiquitous in the service
rendered.
In the afternoon the electric cars
were thronged to their utmost ca
pacity by merry crowds OF people for
Tumwater Park, and clustered amid
the trees on the banks of the beauti-
full waterfall, the charms of the EN-
bryo pleasure resort were amply en-
jOyed. 1t was scene of beauty long to
be remembered. The CLINT of bright
colors amid surroundings of green,
the dashing waters throwing up rain
bows of spray, the picturesque beauty
of the ancient village crOwping the
nights above entranced the eye, while
the roar of the falls, mingled with
merry laughter and sweet music
charmed the ear, until one fancied he
stood on the bounds of Fairyland where
worldly cares are unknown. Quite
number of the excursionists visited the
Capital Brewery, where that enterpris-
ing citizen and prince of good fellows,
Leopold Schmidt, greeted his many
friends in royal manner, in the beau
tiful pavilion erected for the accom-
mediation of guests.
On return to the city, the band gave
a delightful concert in the band pavil-
ion on Sylvester Square. which was
highly enjoyed by many of our citizens
who every evening avail themselves of
the comfort afforded by the well-kept
grounds on which seats have been
placed under the shade of the magnif-
icent naples which skirt its west and
north sides. The thanks of the self
constituted committee of our citizens
on entertainment as we'll as of the
people are due to the band and its
obliging leader, Mr.. Samuel Schu-
macher, for their earnest endeavor to
contribute to the pleasures of the &C.
casion.
At six o'clock the guests were called
to their steamer by her deep-toned
whistle, and several hundred ladies and
gentlemen of our city accompanied
them that far on their journey home.
AS the boat swung around on her
course, hearty farewells were utter
ed and the fiutter of handkerchiefs con-
tinued till the visitors were out of
hearing and sight, indicating feeling
of cordiality that was doubtless very
gratifying to the guests of day.

FIENDIsH CRUE1TY.-A few days ago
several thoughtlcss boys-who we are
sorry to say reside in our fair CITY,
found nest of half hedged king
fishers, the family of harmless bird
which makes its habitation near some
water course, and, as its name indi-
Gates, suhSistS upon fish These mis-
creants were not content with despoll-
ing the nest and intlicting grievous
blow to the lovc-instinct of the parent
birds, but they deliberately and with
the tiendish promptings of demons,
poured strong acid, which one of
them procured, into the Threats of the
poor harmless birds and chuckled with
glce at the evidences of torture which
the burning liquid produced before
death relieved their sufierings. Hor-
rible as this cruel act may appear, the
boys should only he punished as Il
warming against the commission of
such atrocities. The crime is an UNI
natural one, and bctrays a want of
proper instruction and parental con-
troll, and the blame lies in those who
presumably have arrived at years of
sound discretion. 1t may be heredity
that causes an occasional development
of such pure and unadulterated "cuss-
edness" in beings who should still bear
the signet-mark of the creator, or it
may be depraved and vicious associa-
tons, that have obliterated even in
youth, that spark of mercy which
should find Judgment in every heart
that expects mercy, but in either case,
it manifests hardened and calloused
nature which must make the angels
weep over the futility of human en-
deavor in cultivation of the Christian
graces. There is an imperative need
for teaching children the rights which
the humblest of Gods creatures pos
sess, and the inevitable results of a de-
pravity which in later life leads to
commission OF crime that is punished
by the prison and the galiows.
