For their benefit, the sidewalks should be as smooth and clean as a ball-room floor. The street hands in cleaning out the drain between York and Boundary streets, have thrown the sod on a part of the side-walk, and left it there in huge and unsightly lumps.

' AiitE P. MCUMIR. s r * The Pic-Nic at Mulberry. Our fondness for pic-nics is only exceeded by our admiration for the truth. It therefore becomes an easy duty for us to tell in a truthful way ,/hat happens at these pleasant affairs. "We report it for those who i were not present, so that they may ' form a truthful idea of all the ..i Tf , pt'UMUCO luao ?cio cujujcvt. xi nu were to exaggerate, those who were there would know it, and our reputation might be injured. With this introductory, we will proceed to state that the pic nic given at Mulberry last Thursday was indeed a pleasant affair. It was purely undenominational and altogether lovely. The ride to the grounds was as pleasant as such rides usually are, and as each wagon, loaded with its | precious freight, filled through the I streets of our ancient town they pre- i sented bouquets of loveliness charm- \ | ing to behold. Of course, there were young gentlemen in the wagon, , and they served as a kind of rough ( back ground to more fully develop 1 the beauty of the ladies. In this ] manner, and with this appearance, , we arrived safely at Mulberry. , No better place for a pic nic could , be found in all our country than Mulberry. I's majestic oaks, -whose wide-spreading boughs east their cool shade over grassy lawns, make it a spot both picturesque and delightful. There were elegant croquet grounds, handsome walks for gene nil promenade, convenient seats foxtile weary, and cosy nooks for lovers. All these places were patronized by the different parties as best suited their inclinations. We were promiscuous in our tastes, and enjoyed them all. We forgot that the hand of Time had been laid heavily and frequently upon us, and wo desported ourself like unto a Young man. Wo left it to our senior to support the dignity of the establishment, and he sustained it well. It may be because he was boss of the committee of arrangements, and felt the awful responsibility of seeing that everybody should get enough to eat. An uninterrupted flow of pleasure filled the hours that were passed before dmnex-. When the time to eat had arrived, y our senior sent out coui-iers with in- A structions to scour the woods and val- y leys and tell the duets, the trios, the ? quartettes and the chonises to come r to dinner. It-took some time to get r them all up. The chonises, quar f tettes and trios came cjnickly, and f looked like they had an appetite to ( do justice to the occasion; but the J duets came reluctantly, and looked ? like they were not hungry nohow. t However, at last those with ancl those j without appetites were arranged A around the feast, and, after the blessing, the business began. It was then j for the first time that the little judge j was missed. It was discovered that A ho had not come, and the curiosi A ties of the occasion were consequent- f 1 y lost. "We were deprived of the i chance of seeing a little fellow eat ^ more than lie weighed. But the pop ^ ular salesman was there, and if ne . had not been such a big fellow, he might have taken tlio judge's place. ^ After every one else had finished their dinner, a cr -wd gathered j around and gazed with amazement wiiiie'.he devoured the miscellaneous j contents of a very IfU'ge <lish. This he did most gracefully, and the * ?wner of the dish is also minus that t] article of crockerv. The deeds of ' - i u neroes My peers muiiui-iuu un, <.n , .aid gently in the shade by a girl j who weighs one hundred. and drank Jiree quarts of lemonade, out of a iiiree pound poach can. Tiiis was a:so an incident of the dinner, and we here note it. Our senior did not eat much at dinner, but. then he had ' been setting the table for three hours, which accounts for his loss of appetite. With a loudness worthy of ail j thanks, all the gimgers were placed at a particular' spot reserved for us, and we were consequent!}' very happy. Our tallest esteemed did not . appear to enjoy his dinner much, but we could not tell whether it was because ho was a duet, or because there were only twenty seven cans of salmon there, and somebody else got one of them. . As we said at the beginning of this article, we wanted to be truth ' ' > ' 1 lui, airci ior inaireason >yc u??, omio j that there was no cattish stew to be ^ seen, nor never has been at any pic- j nic we have attended, and yet our senior was happy. ^ A good dinner is a great promoter ^ of good spirits, so, after it was 1 ovre, there was a general scattering around, and the pleasures of the day , were resumed with increased zest. ' Many who had buggies, hitched in j their horses and indulged in pleasant drives. We had no horse, but we were determined to take our fair companions on a ride, too; so Ave ] borrowed a buggy and placed oiu- ladies in it, and the. Tallest Esteem- ( cd and the Chubby Gunger hitched 1 | themselves to the shafts and trotted 1 away in gallant style. To see repre- ] sentatives of two rival newspapers working so nicely together in harness was a sight charming to behold. It was fortunate that the ride was not 1 a long one, for the tallest might have 1 got the wind on the chubby. The rest of the day was passed as ' it began?in unbounded pleasure? J and when the wagons came to take us home, all agreed that there had I been pleasure enough for one day, ; and willingly started on our return 1 n ? to Camden. 1 i Mr. S. Miller "Williams has the ' j thanks of all for his kindness in al- I lowing the use of his grounds, and his generous tender. of services to promote our comfort.

A Successful Arrangement find a Joyous Occasion. The union picnic of^thc Camden and Town Creek Baptist Sunday Schools, took place at Mulberry, last Tuesday, and it brought together a larger assemblage than we have seen at any occasion of the kind this season. The number of persons present has been variously estimated at from four to six hundred. The managers of the affair deserve praise for tlie arrangements they bad provided for the enjoyment of all. Tim rric-uicers who were to so from Camden, began to assemble at the Baptist Church, the place of rendezvous, at an early hour, where i they were entertained with enlivening music by the Helicon Band until , the time arrived for the procession to take its departure for Mulberry. The wagons, 'hacks and other velii- ! ?lcs were then loaded with their previous freight of sweet little children , -ieautiful ladien and ugly men, and a < ine of loveliness sandwiched with igliness tiled down our stiinets towirds the delightful grove that was to ivitness a day of supreme happiness. 1 it Mulberry the Camden people vere met by the Town Creek brigade i ivlio. like the prompt and thrifty i >ecple they are, were on the grounds soonest. They theu mingled togeth- ( jr ill the pursuit oi: the pleasures of he (lay. . Every means of amueseient had )een provided to suit the various uclinations. Swings were suspend- 1 id from the trees in various parts of t he grounds.which were well patron- < zed by both large anc\ small, and ;ome of the young men had hard t vorlc before them to keep the swings \ n motion which held a considerable t imount of avoirdupois as represent:d by their sweethearts. The cropiet parties, as at all picnics, were mmerous, and we had the pleasure >f playing our first game. Under he instmctions of the fair ladies vho undertook to teach us, we found < he rules of the game come easy to c is, and the cheating part, we acquir 1 id quite naturally. A very enter aining feature of the amusements . vns the " augur target," gotten up >y our friend Mr. R. T. Owens. The ' - .1 iiTangement consisted of a huge tar , jet live feet square, a tree. 1 Che marksmen were placed in front >f it at a distance of about tliirty s eet, and blindfolded. They were f jiven a common carpenter's augur, I nade to turn around three times and I itart towards the target holding the mgur at arm's length. The one com- ? ng nearest to touching the bull's eye j vith the augur was entitled to the ( irize. We were the first to take a ^ land and started for the target in a iee line as we supposed but when ve thought we had wah^fc far enough ' ve took the bandage ^Bi our eyes 1 md found we had miraed the tree, 1 arget and all. about fifteen feet, but 1 liit w!i? n o-nod shot- in comoarison " O X ,o some otilers, and we marked it 1 vitli the hope that we might coino 1 n for a prize. The way-our editor ' vent at it was enough to make a 1 itfttuo of Hamlet laugh. He grasped ho augur with tho determination of | i Napoleon, turned around three , ime.s with the grace of a Criehton, , md started towards A: target like ( he immortal " Six Jiil^B'ed at Bal- i ikiava.

During tiie whole time the inline from the Heiio'on band floated >ver the scene, adding greatly to the i ' il ensure. 1 Towards noon the crowd assem- | Died hi one place to hear some speak- 1 ng. Our esteemed friend and for- ' ner associate, Mr. W.B. Trantham, s vas introduced, and had got into ( ;he middle of a very neat little speech, vhen a providential shower came up, ind he roimded off his premature Deriod in a gracefid manner by say- j ng, "Well, the ram has come and I f un glad of it, and I suppose you are 1 :oo." "While the shower lasted the ? ;rowd took shelter in the Mulberry \ nansion. This gave an opportunity | io those so inclined to roam all over s this grand old mansion, and admiro s ts architecture and completeness, i When the rain had ceased the time 1 for dinner had arrived, which was 'c fortunate, for there were other gen- , tlemen on the ground, celebrated for i their capacity and readiness to make 1 Sunday School speeches, and had time permitted they might have '( been asked to do so. j The arrangements for the dinner < were admirable. 'Two long tables j were erected in a parallel line, and loaded with good tilings. The chil- \ rlren were then called up and served i fust. "When they got through the ' tables were cleared of debris and ( then reloaded for the grown people. , We take this occasion to thank the j young lady who made the large ! gunger" for us. She put raisins ( and cm-rents and other good things 1 in it, and it was very nice. The ad- .( i e ? +?n ?.?t, . VQHIU^U U1 lau nan uiuobiatcu * by our Tallest Esteemed at the lem t Dnade barrel.

Jupiter Pluvius kindly re- | garded us at dinner, and hovered for- , bcaringly above us until all the eat- i ing was over: but when everything ( was cleared away and '.lie people bad j scattered again for promiscuous . pleasure, the rain came down. Tins , made all repair to tin* House again for shelter, wlicro tbe remainder of the day was principally passed. Those who had wandered too far in the wools have our sympathy for the drenching they gut. As the shades of evening gathered, the \vu>* f 1 gons came back to carry the revellers away, and they all returned to their homes, some very wet, but all exceedingly lmppy, we hope. Brevities.

There is no need whatever to discuss kissing in any oih-r character than the one a!lud<d to. for we do not see any need of reform in other directions.

Almost every man or woman you meet has it, and the result is that the number of pseudo-remedies for It is as numerous as Pharaoh's host. They arc for the most part worthless. There is, however, a searching eradicant of this distressing on/1 nh/inr/ito mniadr. one whose genuine merits long since raised it to a foremost place among the staple medicines of America. Eostetter's Stomach Bitters extirpates dyspepsia with greater certainty and promptilude than any known remedy and is a most genial invigorant appetizer and aid to secretion. These are not empty assertions, as thousands of our dorntrvmen and women whr have experienced its effects are aware, but are backed up by irrefragibie proofs repeatedly laid before the public. The Bitters also promote a regular habit ot body and give a healthful stimulus to the urinajy organs. -A. Card, Having purchased the entire stock of SHOES belonging to R. M.
