PICNIC.—On last Thursday morning a* the weary husbandmen awoke from their peaceful slumbers they were greeted by welcome breeses from Did Ocean, presaging a long looked for and much needed rain. It was.the day of the Granger picnic, but many farmers turned their thoughts from refreshment and pleas ure to labor, and getting out their drills rushed for their plowed fields, determined to get their grain in the ground before the rain would come. However, enough of them w ro loyal to their order and turned out in numbers sufficient to make the pic nic a success. Your correspondent reach ed the grounds about ten o'clock and found them teeming with merry pleasure seekers, while three cornet hands, the Zin, the Leinont, and the Washington, were enlivening the exercises with strains of sweetest music. The peanut man was there, and far above the din of the hands, the rumbling of wheels, and the noises of the merry makers, was heard his hoarse voice, telling the crowd that "here's where you get your double-jointed, silver-| that the pleasure* of the day might not be disturb ed. The Grand Master of the Slate Grange of Pennsylvania, was present, and *oemd to enjoy himself hugely. Pa*'. Grand Mailer I'iolette and Brother McCormlck, who were advertised to address u* did not put in their appearance. We bope they have a good excuse for their not coming. Before closing I must tell you about the pretty girl* who graced the picnic with their presence. There was quite a sprink ling of fair maidens, comely to look upon, and beautiful as Hourle*. The old Roman gods would have b-on ravished with their beauty, could they but have bsheld them. Some of the young men were terribly smitten with their charms, as may he judged by the manner in which they l"le,l them around on their arms, and fed them on randies and osber dainties. On the whole the picnic was a grand success. OMIOIH THAT CASK TO MR. MACMAIM**.—'We clip the following notice of tbe recent cane presentation to Hon.

With the nomination of General Han cock for Presidency, it* editor renewed hit relation* with the Democratic parly. No disappointment with the idea* of the lb-publican parly prompted hit decision ; but be raw that THE manager* of that party had made hostility to the South a condi tion of continued membership, and that even the llluitriou* services of General Hancock to the country bad made no im pression upon men who, without thoe aer vice*, would have had neither country nor party. Together, with hundred* of tbou and* of other*, the editor of "PIMTLU'' therefore took ground for the oau*e of peaco, palrioti*M, and reconciliation ; and every subsequent hour ha* confirmed In him the wisdom of hi* action. The cio*ene*T of the popular vote in 1880, when the Republican* carried the day only by panic and capital, and the imall majority in Congmaa, with hundred* of thousand* of office-holder*, forced to vote to keep their place*, proved the power of the great party founded by J< N-r >O and Franklin, and immortalized by Jack on, Douglas*, Caaa, Silaa Wright, and Thnma* H Benton ; and, rinoe that elac. lion, the South ha* exhibited a vitality, energy, and pro*peritv that iCcrea*c iu value to the I nion and it* future force in all that relate* to national development.
