The propo.-ed grand picnic to b<- giveu by ail tLe tuercLituis of lJatler, and of which we made ti note « tk, ha«i taken deisaite shape, and i- uow a lixod 'act. At the meeting t.f the merchants, held in Miller's llaii l-'riday evening, Wednes day, Auj?. was selected the tiay, uiid Slippervreel' Park us the place, provided reasonable rate.son tho li. li. cuuid be had, atid the Park Wii.-s not engaged for that day. Com mittees on arracgements, Printing, Traasportation, Music, 4>a&kets, Amusements, Dancing. Finance and Reception were appointed, Capt. Avers was selected as toast-master. The meeting of Monday evening was one of business entirely. The Transportation Committee re ported that they had secured a rate of 40 cents for the round trip to and Irom the Park, but could do half fare rates, and that trains would leave Butler at 7, 8, 10:30 and 10:45 a tn , and at 1, 5:05 and 6 p m. for the Park: and leave the Park for lJutler at 2, 5:40, 9 and 11 p. m The tickets will be scuU here several days belore the picnic and will be on sale at all the stores. The music Committee reported tbiit they had no bids; but resolu tion to employ both bands,, with or chestra, at reasonable rates, price not to exceed $75, carried. The Committee ou amusements re ported nothing done definitely, but said they were arranging for a game of base bill between the Grocery Clerks and the Dry Goods clerks. A new Chairman was appointed for the Committee, and it was instructed to make further arrangements im mediately. The Committee on Dancing asked for an enlargement of tl»e Committee, a3 the Dancing Hall at the Park was being enlarged, and it would require more men to attend to it, and Messrs. Chas. Koch, Ab. Stein, Will Troutmau, Will Daubenspeuk, Herb. Harper and G. W. Miller were added. The Committee was also empowered to employ callers. The Committee on Refreshments reported that they had had no meet ing, and asked for instructions, and after a long discussion it was voted that the Committee purchase one barrel of sugar, five boxes of lem ons, 50 pounds of coffee, 15 gallons of milk, and 500 pounds of ice. any goods not used or damaged to be re turned to merchant selling them. It is the intention of the merchants to furnish free coffee and lemonade to all present, but everybody must take theii - own cups, saucers, spoons, etc.. in their lunch baskets. The Couauitt.ee on Baskets report ed that they had divided their work, and asked for power to employ a good man to do the cheeking aud take charge of the baskets, which was granted. The baskets are to be checked free aud should be sent to the early morning trains. The meeting then adjourned, bu.. the Commi'tee on Arrangements re mained behind and completed the program as follows: PROGRAM.

Messrs Ritter he!» in sai ing that. ; They have done well When ic is considered that tbey. usually iu a crippled state,have met the best serni proiessiouai aud amateur clubs i.i Western Pennsylvania, and have al ways played a close game, it is t-tea that their work has been not ul all discreditable. Well, they won Saturday, and a close aud exciting game it was. The first five innings were charae- i terized by a good bit of strike out, a littie stopping on first, two men get ting tired on second, Daugherty get ting to third on a succession of pass ed balls, and Borland reaching the coveted goal, home, on errors. Fifth ianiug: Fishels, 1; Buchs 0. All very fine. The beginning of the sixth looked as if the Buchs were a four-horse team with a dog under the wagon. They hit the bail, got hit by the ball,, were helped by errors, got a ruu iu, had two men put out on bases, one on strikes, and had two left oa bases The Fishels made two runs in their I half on bad errors and the score was 3 to I in their favor. Tbe Buchs got a run in the seventh on more errors and did nothing in the j eighth, and the beginning of the j ninth found the score: Fishels 3; | Buchs 2. The first man for the visitors in the ninth popped a little fly to Krum, second struck out, and" victory seem ed about to perch on the banner oft the Fishels but a base on balls and errors gave the Buchs a run. Score 3 all. One more chance for for our boys. McGrew went out on first, Ulam on second and Boreland on the first, and another inning was necessitated. In the tenth the Buchs got a man to third and one to second and one out but the next two went out easily, ileiuemau got to second on his hit , and got around, on errors, with the j winning run for the Fishels. That's how we won a very interest ing game, although all the runs were ; made ou errors. By the way, another novelty was the umpiring of Grieb. Not a single j objection was, or could be, made to his decisions, and that, in contrast to 1 the wrangling and petty kicking of previous gaijje*, made the afternoon appreciable. The score.

That is what they : aaiJ of them during the, war; and in Butler last Monday afternoon they played Lall nobly- They live in Steubenville, O. and six of th j nine that played here that day, were pure j Wooded negroes. The Butler boys went to the bat first, and the little pitcher for the col ored men —the only small man of the nine—doubled himself up for a throw. He threw his left arm aud left, leg over his head; brought his right hand j with the ball, down to his ritcLt heel, j reversed the operation suddenly, and j iu went the ball. Scotty, McGrew ! and Clark were first at the bat, and all made base hits, a fact that seemed to astonish the pitcher and his nine. Schraink got his base on balls, Boreland made a base hit, the catcher passed some balls aud the whole five were home without any out*. Some thing was evidently wrong, the pitch er looked puzzled, changed his chew ing gum, started the contortion act again, and struck out lleineman, Munlock and Knimm in succession. The chewing gum did it. The darkies then went to bat and the first two went out on flies to Clark and Ulam, and the third was called out on third for not touching base. The second inning was without 1 I results, and in the third each club made one run, Will He/ueman's three bagger being the only play worth not ing. In the fourth inning the Butler boys went out in one, two and three order, but the colored gentlemen got a lead and made three runs The filth wars more interesting, the Butler's making one run and the Key- stone's threj, aad tieing the s-ore. 'Phis reviyed the spirit.? of the dar kies from the depressing effects of that first iuning aad they began their remarkable chin music, nil chattering, bantering and singing at the same time They are very apt at wording the incidents of the game, and when one would sing out a line such as "When I left my happy homo" Ha 11 a, Ha lla. Another would catch one with, "And to Hutler town, did roam," A Ha Ha, A ila Ha. The rhyme would be caught up aud go all over the field, each man adding a lino. The sixth inning was without re sults, and the seventh was no good for the Hutler's, but the Keystone's got in one run, and were proceeding to make several more, when Umpire Urieb called two men out for noL touching bases. Thin brought about u graud kick by the colored men, and their chin music was of an entirely different tone. One of them tried to coax Ijiw out of it by saving, " You don't want to do that Mr. Umpire, take that luck Mr. Umpire, You'll take that back Mr. Umpire, Now wont you." lint I jew was inexorable aud the darkies submitted, though they didn't like it. The eighth inning was no good for the Uutlcrs, but the darkies got two | runs. McUrew took Murdoek's place las pitcher, and Ivrurnm on third base had a linger nail torn off by a hot ball. The ninth was fruitless for the Hutlar's aud as the darki.H were now three runs ahead, the game ended, SCORE.

There was no fun in the teem, and the catcher, who was also captain and manner, made a com plete monkey of himself —only need ing a tail to complete the illusion. He couldn't, or wouldn't play the po sition, and wouldn't put in auother man Bases on passed balls and oad throws to -nd became entirely too frequeut, the game became entirely one sided and when it ended the great crowd went home disgusted.

Butler's Four Hundred were en thusiastic listeners at the second grand concert of the Butler Choral Union. The success of the first led to the greatest hopes lor the second, and it was no disappointment. The program from first to last had not a weak piace and some of the perfor mances were notably fine. The cho ruses were all weil received and showed good selection aad careful study. The song. "Bells of St. Michael's Tower's" with bell's obli irno by Mrs J. R Grieb was a nov elty and was much applauded. "The Jolly Coppersmith" was a lively humorous vocal march which was full of good music and took well. A waltz song by Lorretta Miller was the first solo on the program and was heartily applauded. The trio, "May Morning," by Mrs. Chas. R 'bhun, Miss McElvain and Birdie Miiler was one of the treats of the evening. Prof Lamb accompanied them on the piano, as he did nearly ali the songs, and added much to the effect. Miss Josie Reiseman's solo, "Lo, Hoar the Gentle Lark," was beauti ful. Her splendid voice and manner captivated the audience ard she was forced to answer an encore, which she did by giving "The Maid of the Mill." Mr. A. Frank assisted her on tl'e flute in a fair manner. "The Song of Toreador," by John Koch, Bu.-t .iacu the previous reputa tion of that gentleman and nothing more than that could be said. He was applauded long and heartily aud had to siug again.. He was again encored on singing "The Boatswain's Storv" and replied with "I Love Thee » Charlie Pape sang "Pilgrim of Loye' nicely and was much applaud ed. The first evont of Part Second was an instrumental burlesque, "Toy Symphony," which created the great est laughter. Several ladies appear ed with the different toy instruments of which they are masters and "made Rome howl." "Martha,''♦piano duet by Mrs. J. R. Grieb and Piof. Lamb, was a treat and rivaled anything iu that line ever heard in Butler. Miss Lina Muellar sang "Bid Me Discourse." Those who did not hear it missed a grand voice. Ia reply to a thundering encore she gaye "Home, Sweet Home" in her inimitable style. The "Golden Days," by the members of the Pape family, was much ap plauded and was indeed very good. The orchestra played several dilli cult selections aud added much to the enjoy meut of the evening. —A subscriber informs us that nir slacked liruo sprinkled on the currant bushes will destroy the worms that work so much havoc.

WATEIUICRT, VT. —July I f —The snow fall on Wednesday night last was not confined to Mount Washing ton. The Green mouutaius were also visited, the fall being quite heayy upon tbe summit ot Mount Mansfield, Mount Killington aud tho Camel's Hump, the latter being in conse quence the scene of a most tragic oc curreuce. The weather for several days previous, due to tho fresh winds prevailing, had been remarkably fine, the air being HO pure that most mag nificeut views could be obtained from the mountains, A number of excur sion parties went up the mountains, among them, a party of twelve la dies and gentlemen from Burlington, who came down to camp out for a few days on Camel's Hump, tho third highest peak in the range, having an altitude of 4,188 leet. They brought two tents and provisions for several days. They got settled down Tues day evening, enjoying themselves highly. The weather grew threaten ing Wednesday afternoon and sonic mountaineers warned them to come down, but they refused, and tho sUirm struck them about midnight. ( The mouutain nearly rocked by the force ot tlx; wind, while tho Ughlniug played constantly around it and the rain and hail foil in sheets. Much damage was done at the base, but great was the surprise of the natives at daybreak to see the summit cover ed with snow. The excursionists were not hoard of and Thursday morning a relief party started out in search of them. Alter fifteen hours' hard climbing,the path being obstruct ed by fallen trees and washouts, the summit was reached No trace of the tent was to be found, but all the par ty, half dead from exposure and wet to the skin were found huddling un der a shelving rock. Three of tho ladies were unconscious and had to be carried down. The men had tried to find tho path, but repeatedly lost their way. One of tho youngest ot the girls, a Miss Evans, it is expected cannot recover from the shock. They tell a distressing story. The tent flew away at the first blast and they had to take refuge uuder the rock where they were found. S) violent was the wind that they hid to crawl on their stomachs and keep a hold of one another to keep from blow ing away. snow drift kc(>t them from freezing. All they had to eat was some pressed beef. Most of the party are sick at B?lton. They were nearly twenty four hours laying in water.
