After the nupper, as a correspondent of the Senlinel states, remarks were made by various persons and maiiy interesting reiniiiiscences related. Mr. J. 0. Leosakd, ol Union City. is reported as saying, among otUcr things : "One year, ou the 4th of Juiy, the Sabbath Schools held a celebratiou, coming from Coidwatcr to Union City, - 700 persons had rilnner. It was a very pleasant occasion." If our memory don't serve us a shabby trick, we were one of the "big boys"counted in that "700." The dinuer was served ui the bauks of the beautiful Si. Joieph, under the bluffjust below the village - then not a railïcad town, but with aitpirations to be at "the head of Rteamboat navigation." A. steamer had just been built to test the ragi ng waters of the St Joe, and was theu "tied up" balow the bridge, the wondennent of the unltiated ainon; that "700." We believe she was run down to Three IUvers or Constautlne, whcre her engine was put in ; that on her fint trip down the river her engine exploded, kilhug her proprietor ; and that thus euded Union City's hopes of being at "the head of navigaliou.

It was our latí bunday School excursión. We invite atteutiou to that "Kailroad Report" which wasn't furnished us last week. lts suggestions should be acted upon promptly, To fail now vould dis grace our city, and make its very name a by-word and laughing stock in every enter prising towii in the State.
