A petition was presented to
the county commissioners Mon
day asking that the ferry at

of the county. The people of the
county. are able to make two or
three ferries across the river free
and we trust that the commis
sioners will grant this petition
at the next - meeting and make
the ferry free.
Origin of Paris Green.
But few know the origin of
this powerful insect destroyer.
It was first obtained from the
sides and top of the sewer pipes
of Paris, where it accumulated
from the uprising gases. It is
first brought out in the form of
a heavy dark paste and by a
refining process it is brought to
the state in which we find it in
commerce. Dunsfere, a cele
brated French chemist, made
experiments and found its ger
micidal and poisonous proper
ties during the seige of Paris.
Attempts were made to poison
the garrison by putting it in
the reservpir from -which they
drank, but the trick discovered
and Dunsfere was beheaded;
but potato bugs have never got
on to the trick. We have it.

ThePic-Nic at Rhodes' Pond.
Last Thursday was indeed a
glorious day . with our young
people, for it was a day of pic
nicing. The sun rose clear and
bright and by nine o'clock the
happy party was off on the
road leading to the pond. Every
heart was light, and as the
pleasure seekers journeyed
along making merry with song
and laughter admiring the
beauties of spring, the birds
chimmed in with their notes "of
melody to add to the occasion.
Coming down to a plain, sober
statement of facts, we sar it
was a day ever to be remem
bered by those indulging.
At 11 o'clock the party reach
ed the pond, and after wander
ing around on the banks be
neath the beautiful shade, in
haling the pure fresh air that
makes country life so much to
be enjoyed, two by two they
strolled off, discussing the past,
the present and what may be in
the future. There were some
Ivho began fishing as soon as
they reached the pond, there
were others who began long be
fore the got in sight of the
pond, with what success we are
unable to say. At one o'clock
the band came together and
played three pieces, after which
dinner was spread, and no more
delicious dinner ever greeted
the eye or satisfied the appetite
of a King. Our good ladies
never do things by halves, and it
is safe to say that the hungry
boys on the hill did their part
well.
After dinner was over boat
riding was indulged by all who
could secure a boat. What soft
words were spoken by those
upon the boats are unknown,
except to the gentle waves.
The happy party left the
pond at five o'clock for Dunn.
The day will ever be remember
ed as pleasantly spent by all
those who attended.
