AN ENJOYABLE PICNIC.

Although it was fully understood and so advertised that, should the weather be stormy on Wednesday morning, the union picnic woHld oe held the first fair day. a little before noon the people began to gather from every direction and continued coming well into the afternoon, until there was almost a full attendance of each society. The afternoon being so pleas ant and the park so bright and clean after the rain, the occasion was great, there was going to be a picnic. They did not really expect it, but were anx- iOus not to miss 1t by any chance. This proves that people as a rule enjoy meeting each other in social ways and that such occasions. should occur more often, holding and binding friendships
