Among them was an emigrant from "Shar many." This young man was rather venturesome and walked out on a raft that was tied to a stake in the bunk.

In our lust issue we promised to give the young performers, who were en gaged in the recent tableaux and cha rades; given in aid of the Baptist Church, n criticism detailing their failures and successes. But want of space precludes the publication of more than a general notice of tho affair, wdiich was indeed recherche from beginning to end. So also is it impossible to single out any one of the young performers who did not agreea ble surpass our expectations. Those who attended the entertainments ex press general sati 'faction, and arc warm in their prnisc of tho inanngcr.s of a thing so replete with laughter and enjoyment. It is true that we have heard of one or two remarks, entirely uncalled for, and very un generous and unchristian-like. Some people think that others can't do right, and that one of their cfa.<s can do no wrong. This latter class have not tho power to sec themselves as others see them, or else they would not make themselves so conspicuously unpleasant, or ridiculously absurd in the eyes of tho public. A sound Philosopher once said, "He that thinks any innocent pastime foolish, has cither to glow wise, or i.s past the ability tc do so;" and we have always regarded churlish opposition to inno cent amusements, ns inconsistent with innate piety aud gioutness. But enough of this. The tableaux and cha rades were patronized by our winde community, and enjoyed by all save the Tray Blanche and Sweetheart Fry whose lives ore in danger from pulled up dignity. Tho young ladies and misses wee all lovely, and looked tho impersonation of sweetness. They took their places aud acted their several parts with a great deal of success, a fact which was irequcntly manifested by applause from the aud encc. If we had our way about it wc would have these young queens o( beauty on the hoards at least once a week, during the summer. It could do no harm, and would certainly be affording nil opportunity to our town: folUti of spending their evenings pleas antly. Besides it: would give to the young;minus:engaged in the perform ances that :confidence so necessary to carry us through this world.

KTC, GOOD 11IINGS TO KAT, inc. Oha no kiutimj S. C. May 7th 1875. Editor Ar ics rind Times : Wednesd .y last was i brilliant and happy day for the children of the Lu theran Sunday .School. As previous ly announced a grand pic-nic was giv en on that day for their special benefit. The place .selected for the occasion? Andrews' Fish-Trap?is famous for the numberless limes its grounds, bcau ful walks, water and lovely shade trees, have welcomed the pleasure loving folks'of Oraugcburg. It is at Andrews' Frish-Trap that our people when wearied with the monotony of every day life, never fail to find re creation atnl enjoyment. It is there that the young like to wander alone, atid breathe to each other soft ami gen tle words of endearment and love; there where naught disturbs the swain's reverie or the maiden's dream of her life to come; there under the shade ot some great oak, the ardent suitor for Miss Ada's hand, can unbo som his heaving breast, and beseech ingly insinuate himself into the affec tions of his artless girl ; there the soli tude of nature's forest tells no talcs of the impassioned "first kiss of love," -ftT t-thi srrmrtr gt.ntrccs-^i- "TnTTTTg'?Miss" Hopeful, by the cupid stricken old veteran ; there the vows of eternal de votion can be whispered free from the wicked cars of eaves-droppers, and t c stout hearted arc made to bow at the shrine of woman;?yes, at this delight ful place the I'ic-. i;-. if the Lutheran Sunday School came off on Wednes day last. Here the old and the young, the guy and the sedate, gathered for a day's enjoyment away from the cease less din and hustle of life. Kearly on Wednesday morning wagons^mggics, ami carriages, convey ed load after load of happy souls from Oraugcburg to the Fish-Trap. The tiny was indeed propitious, being not too hot or too cold. The children reminded your corres pondent of so many caged birds turn ed loose In their childish sports they j presented a picture of guileless inno-l j ceii.ee, and of the supreme, happiness of youth ful life At 10 o'clock A. M. they were call ed from their piny and in a group sang with a great deal of sweetness "Our own dear Home" From this time until dinner they were at large again, and made the woods resonant with their merry shouts of laughter. The older persons present amused themselves in various ways. Some of the young men would creep as c'ose up to the side of their sweet hearts aa propriety would let them, and regale them with tales of the Centennial and the battle of Lexington. Others talk ed about Kalakau and the color of the Khedive's eyes, while those who felt a weakness at the heart, owned tip the corn that they were in love, mid announced their intention to commit suicide, if their sweet hearts did not tell them then and there to ?u>pr. There was no suicide cbmmitteu, and I presume therefore, Ibat no young man got the mitten oil Wednesday. Noon having arrived the children were summoned to dinner, who, after Rev. G. A. Hough asked a blessing, partcok of the gootl things of life from a table that groaned under its weight. The little voices, chiming in with the clinks of knives and forks, and the many childish courtesies ex tended to each other, made the scene a very interesting one. After the children finished dining, they betook themselves to their sports agnin, and gave way to the grown persons, who were invited to a dinner that equaled the feast of the gods. Rev. J. 13. :oiii meucc. Tu rkey.% chickens, duejt?-; nuns, rico puddings," 'custard*; Campbell invoked a blessing,.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the children were again called up, group-' cd together, and were requested to sing "The Lovely Land," "Shall wo gather at the River," and ''Angels' Welcome,'' which they did to perfec tion. They were then invited to the tabl*? and were helped to cake,candj and fruit. ~- * ^?vww 13ut I am drawing this letter bey ond the limit of tho space promised me. In summing up, it is Wot exag geration to say that Andrews Fish Trap was never made livelier by a merrier or happier party than was there on Wednesday last. Thej^n ner, the crowd assembled,* ana tho sports indulged in, all conspired.to make tho day one loug to be remem bered. Rev. Mr. Hough deserves much praise for having gotten up a pic-pic from which so much pleasure was derived. It was a delightful affair. Yours, J. H. W. items.
