of the mountain, whieh had reached its
bighest mark afler our issue last week
was out. The crowd could not bave
been less than 8000, and may have been
10.000.
Mr. R. Filson, of Somerset county,
sitting on the porch of the Lutheran
parsonage, on Thursday afternoon, count-
ed all the rigs that came down the moun-
tain on this side from 3 to 6 p. m,, and
the number, on a careful count, reached
730. Then perhaps 200 rigs were still re
maining over on the ground, for the
night's entertainment. Fully as many
conveyances came up from the other
gide of the mountain, which would make
a total of all kinds of vehicles on the
mountain on Thursday, about
1800, These some averaged as
having 4 to b persons, many
wagons bad as high as 20 persons, the
lowest being two in each buggy. This
gives a fair estimate of the crowd, adding
what came by rail and on foot,
The sciopticon exhibition and lecture,
by Mr. Long, on Thursday evening, we
take it, was the most interesting feature
of the entire pic nic, and worth a twenty
mile’s drive to see it. A map of the
Gettysburg battle field was shown upon
the immense canvass, and all the move-
ments of the Confederate and Union ars
mies were shown, and the reasons there-
fore explained by Mr. Long, in so intels
ligible a manner, that any one could
comprehend it, and would go away with
a lasting impression of that great and de-
cisive event, Illuminated scenes of the
battle field were also shown, and their
