nal-bell rang and said " Go!" The cars provi
ded were well tilled, and after a pleasant ride
to "Weston's, the pick nickers were surprised
by the announcement that there had been 110
rain there for several days, the recent show
ers in Towanda not having reached that sub
urban locality. So the ground was " dry as
a bone." The company soon scattered them
selves over the extensive grounds, around the
tables, in the swings, by (and in) the creek,
and on the hills. Clouds appearing, hurried
the lunch, but the party were ready for it.
Bulletins foretold the weather with singular
accuracy and the party enjoyed entire immuni
ty from the showers which were falling
around them miles away—in this place and
elsewhere. At a quarter past six, the train
left for home, and then came the rain—but
the pic-nickers laughed at it from the close
cars or from under umbrellas. All got safe
ly home and felt that they had enjoyed a
pleasant day. May to-day's company be as
fortunate.
The President.
The President appears to be making
steady progress toward recovery. The
bulletins of yesterday will be read with
devout thankfulness. The whole couu
try is earnestly praying that the hopes
these dispatches inspire may be realized
speedily.
