PZONIC.—A very pleasant time was
spent on Friday afternoon last at a
picnic in connection with our school
on Mr. Carin's mountain, or -which is
more familiarly known as the High
Hill of Bagdad. This is a most desir-
able resort for pieuicing as well as a
medium for taling'observations of the
surrounding neighborhood. Having
ascended to the summit of the hill you
might gaze away down into an invit-
ing grove at its base, which abounded
with a variety of amusements and
where sylvan happinessreignssupreme.
The several swings, which were kept
continually vibrating, were of a very
high order, especially when propelled
by half a dozen stalwart youths. The
athletic department, for which there
was an ample supply of prizes, was
keenly contested. by the children and
by no means the least important feature
of the afternoon's enjoyment was a
bountiful spread provided by the good
ladies of the section. In the evening
all repaired to the school house, when
after calling Mr. H. Morton to the
chair, an extensive and very' enter-
taining program was discoursed and
although the fee was a moderate one,
the proceeds amounted to about twenty-
two dollars. Our esteemed teacher,
Mr. Beattie and the committee who
assumed the responsibility, were inde-
fatigable in their endeavors to secure
the enjoyment of all and it must be
gratifying to them to know that their
efforts were crowned with success
