Their home is always a delightful place to visit, and on the occasion referred to, made it a very pleasant event to all who were present. A Miss Rogers and a Mr. Bell, young people, were at the house when the party arrived, and all responded in contributing to the enjoyments of the evening. The company carried their own refreshments, and the merry games of the evening, the vocal and instrumental music and the sociability, contributed to make the hour for separation come long before the inclinations to go was felt. Mr. and Mrs. Williams love to see their friends, and it is always a delightful place to go for a good time.
