We suppose tbe reason that young gentle

According to previous notice, the Firemen's
picnic took place at Four Mile Lake last Fri
day. As the weather was all that could be de
sired, a large number participated in tbe fes
tivities of the occasion, which were very much
enlivened by tbe presence of Ford's Cornet
Band. The Narrow Gauge made several trips
to tbe groundr, the " cars" being loaced to
their utmost capacity with pleasure-seekers,
who went for a good time, and if appearances
re any criterion, they must have found what
they sought. We cannot forbear to mention
! an incident of a personal nature t When the
train arrived at tte depot, as many as could
crowded noon Burdick's dray and rode np town.
Just as they reached Mam street and were
turning the corner by the Dyckman House, one
of the ladies lost her foot-hold and was thrown
some distance on tbe ground, amid roara of
laughter from the by-standers. Fortunately
she escaped injury, and aeemed to enjoy it as
much as anyone.
The day's sports terminated with a dance at
Town nail in the evening, which was well at
tended and a very pleasant affair.

Tbe funeral serviced were held at the new
church, for tbe erection of which none had
done more than tbe deceased. Loving hands,
eager to show their respect, trimmed the church
with evergreens and adorned it with tlowere.
Her life had been for Christ, her death was
that of a christian. We mourn her only as

A new and admirable plan has been devised,
whereby people of an economical turn of mind
can have all the credit and social distinction of
having spent a summer at Newport, Saratoga,
or some other expensive and fashionable summer-resort,
at a moderate coat. They go down
into Indiana or Michigan and take cheap board
at a farm bouse ; then for to each secure the
insertion of two such items as the following in
an Eastern society paper: "The Hon. J.
Washington Swizzleback. one of Chicago's
prominent citizens, bid infernally beautiful
wife, and bis three lovely and accomplished
daughters, Misses Nettie, Uettie, and Pettie
Swizzleback, occupy a palatial suite of apart
ments at tbe Grand Union Hotel. Col. Swiz
zleback returns to Chicago immediately to at
tend to bid immense business operations."
" Among the ladies most admired at the Grand
Union hop last night were the exquisitely -handsome
and witty wife and daughters of Gen. J,
W. Swizzleback, a millionaire resident of Chi
cago. Their dresses, models of beauty and
taste, were as follows : (Twenty lines of mil
linery here.) It is rumored that Miss Pettie
Swizzleback, an imperial brunette, will next
year espouse a wealthy Russian count, one of
tbe lions of tbe social season." Then they get
100 copies of tbe papers, mark the items, ad
dress them to their friends in Chicago, and
stamp tbe wrappers and express them to Sara
toga, there to be dumped in tbe Post Office.
The effect is simply immense, and when tbe
Swizzlebacks return from Goshen or Paw Paw,
baviDg Judiciously crammed out of a 50-cent
Saratoga guide-book, they inspiie tbe most
awful envy in the gentle breasts of their friends
and acquaintances. Chicago Tribune.

Tbe subject most discussed at preaent in the
grange and elsewhere is a system to introduce
a similiarity of school books through tbe town.
If tbe plan is adopted, teachers, as well aa peo
ple, will have reason to be thankful. Teachers
now find a new set of books in every school
they take, and many of them binder the pro
gress of the pupils by their own ignorance of
the, series. I think there is a fair chance for
the sifting of teachers, as people are inquiring
who have succeeded in giving satisfaction. It
Is to be devoutly hoped that some of the per
sons who do nothing but hunt situations with
fat salaries will find tbe places filled with ener
getic, competent, worthy individuals. It is
time for the people to awake in regard to school
interests ; it is time teachera were sifted and
the drones thrown into some other vocation ;
it is time tbe children should begin to appreci
ate the value of school and not spend term
after term on the same lessons ; and it is fully
time we ceased to change teachers every term.
In fact our district school system is greatly in
need of decisive measures to make tbem more
renumerative for tbe time and money expend
ed. Will not some one who is interested take
np this subject and make some suggestion! for
the general good?

Tbe Annual Meeting of the Almena, Bloom
ingdale, Pine (J rove and Waverly S. 8. Associa
tion, was made tbe occasion for a general pic
nic of Sabbath Schools, and gala-day for farm
ers and citizens connected with the work m this
section. It came off at Pine Grove, August
1C, and was tbe largest gathering of people
ever held in north-east Van Buren. The day
was propitious, a warm early morning sun hav
ing exhaled the rain of tbe previous day, and
earth and sky yied with happy hearts to render
the occasion pleasurable. When your reporter
arrived, " the pale air was streaked with" ban
ners of various hue, mottoes appropriate to
the occasion, and about tbe neat little depot
fully one thousand " early birds" had congre
gated, listening to enlivening strains of maaic
from the Coble Brass Band, and welcoming
new delegations as tbey arrived. Goble bad
tnrned out "her beauty and chivalry" uatil her
streets were almost deserted ; from that beau
tiful rival on tbe weBt Bloomiugdale, had
come tbe largest single delegation of the day ;
Almena and Waverly Union were there, full of
enthusiasm for the Master's cause; and far
away Glendale, with gay banners, and a large
turn out, added much to the lovely and joyous
scene presented. On the western bound tram
came tbe Alamo Brass Band, and a host known
as tbe Alamo Union Sabbath School, and short
ly after Kendall put in her appearance. From
this time until twelve o'clock team after team
arrived, until there bad gathered in Pine Grove
over 100 vehicles of various kinds but mostly
lumber wagons and some 3,500 men, women
and children.
Capt. II. Niles was in his element that day
and bore tbe honors of Marshal meekly and
well. Tbe procession was organized at 10
o'clock, anxl in bis charge, and assistants from
the various schools, marched to the beautiful
grove west of tbe village. Kev. R. S. Dean,
President of th Association, called the meet
ing to order, and after music by Alamo Brans
Band, and Glee Club, prayer was offered by
Kev. Mr. Daniels. President read a letter from
Rev. F. W. Bush, of Alamo, who was adver
Used to address the meeting, regretting his in
ability to be present, and introduced Rev. Geo.
Donaldson. Bear Lake Mills, who, in a twenty
minutes' impromptu bpeecb, fully sustained
his reputation of being one of tbe readiest and
most eloquent talkers in this section. His re
marks were general, had mental pabulum for
both old and younz. and were listened to at
tentively throughout. Then came adjourn
ment for dinner and social intercourse for tbe
adults, and dinner and fun for tbe little folks.
''Swinging round the circle," after a feast of
good things, your reporter was proud of the
distinction of living in Van Buren county. It
has been his fortune to meet many similar
gatherings .in older and wealthier common
wealths, but he baa never met a better dressed,
better behaved and more intelligent gathering
of old, middle-aged, young and little folks,
than thronged Pine Grove on this occasion.
The hour band pointed to nearly two o'clock
when the President called the vast throng from
"refreshment to labor." It was tbe annual
meeting and officers for tbe ensuing year were
to be elected. The following are the happy
xnon : President, Kev. B. D. Prescott, Goble ;
Vice Presidents, Mr. Erkenbeck, Almena, M.
Lane, Bloomingdale, O. S. Brown, Pine Grove,
and O. W. Bush, Waverly; Secretary, Geo.
W. Myers, Goble. Rev. R. S. Dean, Dr. A. E.
Bnlson and E. M. Eaton, Com. on Programmes
for ensuing year. Tbe balance of the afternoon
session was given up to speech-making. The
Tbe'President introduced one of the advertised
speakers C. G. Townsend, of Bloomingdale.
The gentleman's tbeme was temperance, and
as it is of widespread importance, my notes are
copious. Tbe gentleman had no prejudices to
gratify, he came there in response to invitation
in the hope that a temperance talk would do
aome good. He bad felt the terrible conse
quences of liquor-drinking, and was prepared
to speak from bitter experience. It bad come
to be ascertained that sober men made better
citizens, better husbands, better sweethearts,
and tbe temperance war which is now being
waged is but an outburst of the great heart of
tbe people in favor of tbe rights of sober men,
aawall as tbe unfortunate victim of appetite.
There are many phases Qf the question he
would like to discuss, but time would not per
mit. The first thought is the glaring inequality
of the temperance public before tbe law. The
atrange anomaly is presented of a great people,
eminent for virtue and intelligence, legislating
in favor of tbe baser elements of citizenship.
A crime against God and humanity is clothed
with tbe dignity of legal protection, and from
this vantage ground an int erect engaged in
making drunkards, in increasing the burdens
of taxation, in blighting hearts and homes, can
bid defiance to anv adequate punishment. We
have the anomaly of a law that legalizes a
criminal-making business, and in tbe same act
fixes tbe penalty tbe criminal thus made must
expiate. No where on our statute-book is there
justice or mercy for tbe poor, broken-hearted
slave of appetite. Men may tempt him, he
may be ruined in health and reputation, but
there is no remedy in the law for bis woes. If
he lies to assuage a thirst the legalized tempter
has created, the law regards him as a perjured
scoundrel, and visits punishment upon him.
Again, tee law nowhere provides equality with
tbe liquor-seller for a class that feel directly
the crushing power of the traffic Woman
stands guard at the threshold of our homes
with no power but moral suasion over the great
destroyer of her peace. The despoiler of tbe
holy fabric wbich she rears is entrenched behind
the law, is a law-maker, and her voice is dumb.
Husband, father, brother, son, may go down to
drunkard's graves, and there is nothing but a
pecuniary remedy in the law for her, A great
state discriminates between citizen-, Jeopardiz
es tbe great interests of society by claas legis
lation, and puts a monied value on tbe desola
tion, death and riot its statute books encour
ages and fosters. And Michigan is not excep
tional. All over the land public sentiment
seems to have crystallized into laws that pre
aent humanity sbackeled at the feet of the rum.
fiend, and aa a result prison and pauper houses
are growing, crime is on the Increase, and men
are finking into unhallowed graves, women
are dying broken-hearted, and children are wan,
ragged and atarving. Tbe situation demands
remedy. Humanity must triumph or else tbe
world'a best hopes must trail in tbe dust. So
long as tbe liquor-traffic exists no one is safe.
It contains the possibility of a drunkard'a woe
upon every bearthbtone In the land. It adds
nothing to the world's prosperity; it is a con
stant menace to the peace and perpetuity of
society. AH classes of society, every trade,
profession and avocation are ahadowed by it.
Christian duty waa considered, and tbe speaker
said thatbe temperance cause must become a
part of tbe christian's life. He was liatened to
atteutively, and made some points that alaa,
are too true.
Kev. B. D. Prescott said that the evils of in
temperance (could not be overestimated, and
that it was the duty of christians everywhere
to stand up for tbe right.
II. P. Macfarlin, of Waverly, a man who bad
been through tbe mill, gave a stirring five min
utes' temperance speech, after which music
cloed tbe exercises of the day, and after an
hour of fun and frolic far the children, and a
genuine visit on the part of adults, the crowd
commenced to disperse. At six o'clock Pine
Grove had assumed her wontvd quiet, and she
lay shimmering in a sinking August sun, none
tbe worse for the baptism of humanity wbich
abe bad welcomed that day.
Tbe rupture of the blood vessel of Mrs. Mary
A., wife of Capt. B. H. Dyckman, resulted in

Certainly all that medical skill could do was
done to save the life of one who was only known
to be loved and respected, but it w as willed
otherwise. As a mother, wife, neighbor and
friend she bad qualities but few possessed, and

habita increased so fast that tbe usual evening
spree was very often extended into weeks of
debancbery. Since tbe organization of tbe club
