Hnndrrd or More Present Fine Company, Firie JZusic and Fine Eatlnic. The following gccount of a picnic in our county last Saturday -has been sent us: A cccst delightful affair was the oicnic at Mr. George Goodman's, in No. 3 township, last Saturday from 2 to 9 p. m. At 2 the'happy young gallants with- their pretty, sweet partners began to arrive, and from that till " dark tney came until a hundred or more had gathered at this charming country home to laugh, talk and eat. Every one was made to feel so perfectly welcome, Dr. Goodman and his sisters, Misses Hattie and Mary, in a perfectly charming way, entertained their many guests and made eaci one envy them for the grace and ease with whioh 'twaB done . The afters noon was spent in playine games, and as evening drew on we gath- erad into the pretty parlor to listen to the music. The Misses Kim mens, of Bethpage, sang several sen jections and the crowd was enrap 4ured at the sweetness of their voices. MiS3 iLmmerson, in a clear, rich voice then sang, also Miss Hattie Carroll, of Poplar Tent. Miss Carroll possesses a most magnificent U voice. The crowd sat spellbound as her glorious voice rose and fell, and oh, how enchantihgly she sang. All did well, but to our taste Miss Car- roll exceeded all in singing. n Then we went to supper, tf&d such a suDPer.il; was. The . table was almoBt groaning under its weight of fried chicken, pickles, pies, custards, cakes, fruits and va nous things too numerous to men- tion. At 9 o'clock w reluctantly bade our kind friends adieu and with a heart full of b?Bt wishes and heartiest thanks to our host and hostess we went our different ways to eur different homes.

Tuesday being the appointed day for the meeting- of the surviving members of Company H, 8th Regiment of Confederate Veterans, we watched with much interest the arrival of those old greysheadfd rebels: Abut 10.30 o'clock a goodly number had put in their appearance and in jolly good spirits adjourned tojtbe college chapel to hear Prof, H T J Ludwig's history of the 8th Regiment read for correction. After several of those ever inter esting war tales were related Prof. Lud wig arose and proceded to read the history of the regiment Cor rections were made as the reading progressed. . At I o'clock Capt. ook ordered a halt and commanded the men to get out their haver-sacks and eat dinner. But for once his men disobeyed orders and adjourned to another room, not to gnaw hards tack, or perhaps nothing, but to res plenish their bodies with the best the Und cswild produce. We will never forget the hearty peal of laughter that rang out through the college balls, when one of the old "vets,' with a chicken wing in one hand and a biscuit in the other went staggering across the room mimicks ing one of his comrades who during the war had "played off with a sore heel. They again assembled in the cnapei, ana tne company roll was called. As each name was called it was ascertamea wnetner ne was UTing or aeaa, ana wnetner ne was captured or wounded during the died' if llTin5 where hu Present that Prof. Lndwic mav write a fnl " - - history of the company. A visitor would almost shed tears as one old "vet" would relate the death scene of one of his comrades or spHt his sides as another would relate a joke at the expense of one present. Out of 159 that entered the com pany 96 are now living. A motion was then mads by 8econd Lieutenant C D Bamnger that oompany H meet regularly every year on the 5th day of August.
