away grandly on the midnight air.
The three last were members of
organized quartettes that we had

members are now mostly scattered
to distant places. These partial
reunions are enjoyable all around.

COLLINS BEACH - We noted
the fact last week that William ].
Campbell had contracted for the
building of a bridge over the break
between his house and the fast
land This had nothing to do with
cutting off the inflowing tide that
covered so many acres of land.
The citizens interested subscribed
the necessary amount, somewhere
about $500, and contracted with
J. B. Fennimore, of Odessa, to put
in horse shoe stopping and he
commenced the work on Monday.
The cut is now 95 feet. The road
from where it strikes the marsh to
the hotel is just half mile, which
Mr.. Campbell intends to raise and
widen and make dry and entirely
free from mud. A grove $50 yards
before reaching the hotel has
grown sufficiently for use, which
Mr.. Campbell intends for schools,
etc, that wish to be away from
the hotel. In refurnishing the
house he has added another parlor
intended for the use Of ladies.
THE EXCURSION NJ. E.
School picnic of this town,
that has filled so large a share of
attention in certain quarters the
past several weeks, came off yes
terday according to the program.
The train Of the Kent County road
when it drew up at the depot on
Main Street found large number
Of men, women, and children,
awaiting its arrival. Six passeng-
er coaches and two box cars were
soon filled with the expectant and
animated excursionists, and in
twenty minutes they were landed
at Woodland Beach. There is but
one testimony and that is the day
was a most enjoyable one. Mr..
Campbell the proprietor, gave
them full possession of the
grounds, houses. the use of his
cistern water, and the bar room
was emptied of every thing except
the ice carried there by the excur-
sionists all free of cost. Between
fishing, rowing, bathing, sailing,
swinging, promenading, etc.,a one
might elect, the day was passed
without a maring incident. The
boys were on their good behavior,
and the men too as for that. A
vote of thanks on the departure of
the train was voted Mr.. Campbell
for his regardful attention to the
excursionsists, and a similar ex-
preston was given Superintendent
Lassell and the committee of ar
rangements. The train left ten
minutes after seven o'clock and
made the run home in twenty min
fItes. A sea breeze made the day
at the beach extremely pleasant.
