day School excursion to Bombay
Hook last Wednesday was the first
J railroad trip ever undertaken by
the school, and was success in
point Of enjoyment and profit. Ten
: cars were filled to overdowing
with happy people Of all ages; at
: least four hundred must have gone
as members Of the school, with
three hundred outsiders. The day
was very fair and not extremely
hot, and the occasion was much
enjoyed by all. Dinner was spread
on the tables in the grove, more
baskets being on hand than ever
before. TIL new brass band of our
town deserves credit for its part in
the entertainment; many persons,
both of our town and from abroad
expressing surprise at their re-
markably good playing for their
short time of practice. The train
left the ground at o'clock and
the whole large party returned
home safely. A noticeable point in
regard to the occasion was that
there was not the least accident or
unpleasant incident 20 mar the
! general pleasure.
The steamer Gem, a new boat
built for river excursions by the
John A. Warner company, well
provided with all Of the appliances
for safety, proposes making excur-
sions weekly from points on the
Delaware, on this side, to Sea
Breeze, on the opposite shore.
George Q. Deakyne, Of Deakyne-
vile, is agent for the company.
The first excursion viii be made
on Sunday next from Leipsic,
Bombay Hook and Collins Beach
to Sea Breeze.
Henry w. Tygert, who spent the
winter and spring at Palatka in
quest of health, has returned
somewhat improved in health, but
not very favorably impressed with
Florida as business point. He
complains Of the 'redlougs" or gig
gers there, which embed them
selves in the flesh causing trouble
some sores. He instances the case
Of one orange grove of 700 trees,
the gross proceeds of which was
$1,000.
