" Turn Out" of Hanging Rook Division f Sons of Temperance. t Souic threo or four weeks ago, an advertisement appeared in the Ledger, that Hang ing Rock Division would " turn out" in full c Regalia on Friday, the 13th inst., nnd neigh- 1 boring Divisions were invited to join in the procession. Soon after the advertisement ^ appeared, it became very generally under- r stood, that there was to be n pic nic on the occasion. In fact, as neighboring divisions c wore invitod, nnd as Lancaster, tho nearest, I was distant eighteen miles, it was certainly 1 presumed there would be a pic nic or dinner, ^ therefore wherf it was rumored that prepara- 1 tions were making to give a pic nic on a grand scale, it wns readily credited. Antici- * pating much pleasure, not only by joining in the 4*turu out" with their brethren, but also having an eye to fat turkiea, hams, mut- ' vuit, |>?-nni|>* cui-nnn soup, arc., a number of the members of I^ncastcr Division, ns well r.s citizens generally, made nn arrangement to be present on this interesting and happy ? occasion. Wo nre assured that quite a number of r gentlemen from Lancaster, rather than to J1 start the day previous, left here oq Friday " morning, hrfore brtakfail, so that their nppe- . tites might be sharpened to do full justice to the viands which would be prepared for 'R them. ? We arrived on the ground about 11 o'clock, n, in company with our friend the Doctor, and 8I what was our astonishment, when meet- a in j our brother B., of Iaucaster, wearing a a rueful countenance, and barely saluting us, t< he indignantly informed ns that there was no K pic nic, and also no speakers for the occasion. M Never before have we seen so palpable a clnngc come over the countenances of men. (j Where before was nil joy and hilarity? ? break fust not even having been thought of? a was now overspread by melancholy nnd gloomy forhodings. A few minutes before, anticipating the T pleasure or repealing thetoielvM with choice fc luxuries, the future held up no immaginary d trials and difficulties; even the petty annoynnces of home nnd business, of cryiug in fants or disobedient apprentices, all, all were forgotten, eo absorbed was the mind with ^ the treat which would bo enjoyed after the 44 turn out" " The procession was formed, and a pretty good 44 turn ont" they made, and marched _ to tho church, preceded by n military look* \ Ing band, who performed very well. L Finding our Hanging Rock brethren rather p in a "strait" in consequence of the non-ar- jo rival of the "several speakers," we loaned them the services of "our man," Dr. (tsllu- l?i chat, who mado a speech, which did not do- Rl tract from tho high merit to which ho is so deservedly entitled. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting ; and considering thoy addressed an audience of empty stomachs, much attention was paid them.? ^ For our part, we left the church in the "cari? ..r ik- ?... if ?... i V ??

"""K'J friends had left any poaches on the almost jn barrios* trees around the church. |M The meeting dispersed shout 3 o'clock, p and we were much rejoiced to receive then Fi sn invitation from our esteemed friend, Jno. is U. Ingram, Esq., to partake of his cold col- tl lation. We were afterwards courteously ? invited by Mr. Dyo to partake of his, but our Inner man was satisfied. Had etiquct war- J* ranted it, how gladly would we have trans- ^ ferred the Invitation to some famished brother. Apropos of the meeting. We notieed a number of handsome ladies, and from the ?! style displayed in making their toilets, we ? would havo certainly thought that they would ^ have provided some of the creature comforts ^ for men, who, to participate in tho festivities, jfl had left their homes at iqch an early hour, ?| that even bremk/mat was not thought of 1 Before closing this hasty article, we will II merely remark that the mini out" took ptaee I In Kershaw District, not is lameaster, and on tho lino of that proposed Plank Road.? yti ao nopo the Plank Road, when eom- el pitted, will be an ladeeemcat for Camdaa u ratars to fulfil their appointment*.

Touching.?The following is from the Knickerbocker for August. A correspondent sends us from Albany the suMoiued touching incident: "Although we are unacquainted, I Cahnot well resist communicating the following circumstance to you. Mr. 8.???, whose residence is next to mine, had a son six years of age last winter; and we a daughter of the same age. So fond were the children of each other's society that the commands of the parents were all that prevented them from being in each other's company both night and day. About a month since the boy was attacked with the scarlet fever, and soon after died. The next day I took our "Fanny" ?who mourned, and mourned deeply, her loss?to see the remains of her former playmate: I think I never saw mental agony so strongly depicted in one so young; until, after gazing perhaps a minute at the remains, she turned calmly to Mrs. S , and, with a tremuious voice, asked her if she might "pray for poor Willie," but without waiting for answer, she kneeled beside a chair, and with clasped hands and face turned heavenward, recited audibly the Lord's Prayer. There were about a dozen persons present, but not ono with unmoistened eyes. Friend Clark, that child is lovcd\ but with all tho lovo ber p'arents bear ber, I cannot believe she is loved on earth as she is loved in Heaven." May good angola watch over her! Acknowledgments.
