Six DAY SCHOOL Pic-xic.-Pur.su- •
ant to previous arrangements, the
managers and pupils of the "Point Sab
bath School," in Napier township, as- !
senibled at the school-house at an early [
hourj on Saturday, 3d inst., and mar- j
ehed to Peter Winegardner's saw-mill
where preparations had been made for
the oeecasion, in the grove adjacent;
but in consequence of the inclemency
of the weather, they had fitted up a ta
ble in Mr. Winegardner's barn, whith
er they inarched, preceded by music
by Mr. Joseph Moore & Sons. The
pic-nic was gotten up without the least
excitement in the neighborhood, and
from the appearance of the weather in
the morning, many thought it would
he a failure, but upon counting heads
in the barn, there were about one hun
dred and thirty persons present. The
school was then addressed by Rev's
Decker and Edwards, of Schellsburg in
a very appropriate manner. At the
close of the addresses, the pupils were
invited to partake of a very sumptuous
dinner provided by the citizens, and
then the otiicers and teachers and spec
tators also partook of the same bounti
ful repast, there having been ample
provisions made for all. Much praise
is due to the liberality of the citizens,
and particularly to the ladies for the
splendid cakes, pies, custards, chickens
and indeed every delicacy that could be
desired on the occasion, and also to the
children for theirgood deportment and
to that staunch old Democrat, Mr. Wine
gardner, who is ever ready and willing
tolend a hel ping hand in any emergency,
and particularly on such occasions, de
voting not only his time, but his means,
to add to the comfort of all his neigh
bors. I must not pass over the drink
with theeatables; the company were
treated to good coffee and lemonade in
abundance. After having partaken of
the bountiful supply, the whole assem
bly passed the hours pleasantly until
four o'clock when they separated for
th ir respective homes, all well pleased
with the hilarities of the day. May
we all live to enjoy another pic-nic
next year. SPECTATOR.
THE October number of "Young
America" which closes the vol
ume for the second year of this popu
lar little periodical, conies to us as
bright and gay as ever, flourishing
a grand top residence called a "villa."
rich in stories, poetry, pictures, and
puzzles, closing the interesting juven
ile adaptation of the famous story of
Itobison Crusoe, and promising a bril
liant attraction in the shape of a new
story of out door life, for boys, by Geo.
J. Varney, whom not a few persons
think superior as a writer for boys to
Oliver Optic. Hurry up with your
pennies, children. You will all want
Young America this year—for, with
the November No., it is to be enlarged,
and, according to the publishers, "oth
erwise improved." Address W. Jenn

MASS MEETING. —The mass meeting
in Voodhurry was a magnificent affair.
We have received a glowing descrip
tion of it from a correspondent, which,
for want of room, we are unable to
publish. It was the largest meeting
ever held in Woodbury. Hon. J. B.
Noble was chosen President. Col. J.
11. Filler made one of the happiest
speeches of his life. O. E. Shannon,
Esq., followed with one of Ids masterly
speeches on the financial question.
St Ctaimcitle. —The Democrats of
St Clair and Union turned out in large
numbers to the mass meeting in St
Clairsville on Saturday last. The dem
onstration which they made was very
fine. (in one wagon a hickory pole,
Sixty feet long, was carried by stalwart
voters. B. It. Henderson, Esq., was
elected President, with a long list of
Vice Presidents and Secretaries, whose
names were not given us. The meet
ing was addressed by Col. J. H. Filler,
<). E. Shannon, Esq., and B. F. Mey
ers.
Gapville. —A meeting of the Dem
ocracy of E. Providence, was held on
Monday night last, at Gapville. The
attendance was good. A lot of Radical
scallavvags were on hand to imitate
their brethren at Camilla, but failed in
their efforts to get up a row. The
meeting was addressed by J. W. l)ick
erson and J. G. Fisher.
-
MEETING AT RIDDLESBI RG.— On
last Friday evening a large Democrat
ic meeting was held at liiddlesburg.
M. A. Hunter was elected President,
Jacob M. Barret and William Mobus,
Vice President and George C. Buckle,
Jr. and Thomas Keating, Secretaries.
Speeches were made by William
Hartley and J. W. Diekerson, Esqs.
DESCRIPTIVE. —The Grecian bend is
made to cover about every attitude
and movement that can be named.
It includes the stagger of a tipsy dunce,
the wabble of a graceless cook, the
awkwardness of a lubberly lout, and
the mincing, wriggling gait anil in
clination of the classic miss just open
inginto womanhood.

The Chinese Government having (through the
Hon. Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com
pany the privilege of connecting the great sea
ports of the Empire by submarine electric tele
graph cable, we propose commencing operations
in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred
miles at onco, between the following ports, viz :
Population.
Canton 1,000,000
Maeoa 60,000
Hong-Kong 250,000
Swatow 200,000
Amoy 250,000
Foo-Chow 1,250,000
Wan-Chu 300,000
Ningpo 400,000
Hang Chcan 1,200,000
Shanghai 1,000,000
Total 5 910,000
These porta have a foreign commerce of $900,-
000,000. and an enormous domestic trade, besides
which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
! its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable Being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the commu
nications of the Government, of business, and of
| social life especially in China. She has no postal
system, and her only means nowofcommuuicating
i information is by couriers on land, and by steam
| ers on water.
The Western World knows that China is a very
i large country, in the main densely peopled ; but
i few yet realize that she contains more than a third
I of the human race. The latest returns made to
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
| local magistrate make her population Four hun
dred arid Fourteen million *, and this is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate
Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old,
not only can but do read and write. Her civili
zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten
sive as that of Eurepe. China is a land of toach
j ers and traders ; and the latter are exceedingly
I quick to avail themselves of every proffered facili-
I ty for procuring early information. It is observed
• in California that the Chinese make great use of
| the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
in English alone. To-day great numbers of fleet
I steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and
used by them exclusively for the transmission of
| early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose
| connecting all their great seaports, were now in
| existence, it is believed that its business would
■ pay the cost within the first two years of its sue
; cessful operation, and would steadily increase
! thereafter
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
i whole people. It is of vast national importance
[ commercially, politically and evangelically.
tjgsThe stock of this Company has been un
qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi
j ness men, as a desirable investment by editorial
| articles in the New York Herald, Tribune,
! World, Times, Post, Express, Independent, and
| in the Philadelphia North American, Press,
\ Ledger, Inquirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.
