A CHvSS-TICK. _ . ,1 Joint Institute al Portland. £ ' ' I Secretaries, hotel clerks and even I artists were caused to ponder and I smile over the array of jaw-break ing jirin-provoking or chill-coaxing signatures made by the excursionists on that eventful Friday, November 27th. Can you paint a mental picture of Hale, Snow and Riyn, all on one tram, right among the Whitemens, Millers and Browns without number? On the Daily task, that seemed to radiate Rays of sunshine and daughtershine. Hockers, Mummas and Christens regardless of the idiosyireracies of either individual What an innovation, this new program! say the Shepheids, Sheers, Halls, Havens, Bells, Barnetts —and—and well, let her go Galleger—nearly all the rest, and all! bound for Portland institute. After an agreeable reception the introduction committee began to introduce, and the reception committee begau to receive the Winans, the Walters, the Flemings, the Fosters, the Shaffers, the Snyders, the Kunkies, the Kizers, the Colters, the Clousers, the Jones, the Johnsons, the Yagers, the Youngs, the Addlers, the Petersons, Shoemakers —Sovines —and—well, who next? Saturday morning at an early hour, a hundred or more were in sympathy with the weather bureau, and Spicer, Spuller and Simcoke until the train pulled in, which found the crowd a little Shackley a? to the accommodations for the entire party. By the moon’s pale light could be seen the Mann and the Mannings, the Hocker and the Harruff, the Winans and the Weldy, the Lincoln and the Lankenau; all visable to the naked eye on that memorable November morning. The weather of the preceding evening was Wetter than usual, and among the invisibles was Moses—not of Hebrew fame, but of pedogoical peculiarity; the Tyndalls—not the scientists, but the idea shooters. The Tumblesons and a few from the far east who were at a loss for an additional Lung, to draw a diagram of the situation.

As the clock in the church tower pealed the morning hour a forcible reminder, of the “Bells of Shandon,” on the peaceful river Lee, was made as by the historic and classic names of Macy, Moran, McCullough, Congleton, Cowan and the ever-pip-

ing Mc.Alhaney—right flesh from the Blue Creek valley sod. A remembrance of the castled Rhyne was recalled by the names of some of her favored folk-; the Win• <• r.• gg% t h edSchugs,.the..Stuckleys, the Funkhouser*, Felbamns Schwanks, Baumgartners and Neuenschwanders must not be over-, looked. Can you pardon — ? But say! von nvglectedslo gauage the Hall, or have Herr brushed up by Buckmaster, teacher-master or schoolman!; Springer.back and le» Laughrey roast the whole Parrish! •Funner don’t care. In our passing notice we have merely mentioned a meftv medley of pretty, perfect pedagogues, that! practically took in Portland. Be-1 sides there were a number of worth- ; ics who willingly went without a | word of wrangle and greatly added grace to General Gordon’s great and good lecture---ai>dience. They all changed the excursion and exercises—in a degenerater or less. The Boy Orator gave us “Indiana.” Root, Hartford, Wabash and Monroe, with French township came in with one hundred per cent, of educational hustlers. Washington, Jefferson, Preble and Decatur stood by St. Marys in a lack of but oae to make her quoto full. Geneva—not the Swiss—nor Berne of Alpine fame, lacked but the powers that be—not the one Dutcher’s bonnet to make the column complete. Blue Creek’s orator was missed, and fair ■Kirkland will rise and explain, how in little Union there is strength. Taking some, in all and all ffi some;“Old Adams’’ left her mark wh.ere ere her name she wrote—-fit —or write—let it g > at right.
