The Feetival.


The Festival given by the Masonic fra
t.rnity at this place on New Years Eve. was
one of the most successful affairs of the
kind we ever attended. At an early hour
in the evening the Emporia House was lit
sralIy crowded With persons-their happy
countenances beaming with pleasure, intel
Egencs, wit and beauty-who had come
from far and near to participate in the fes-
tivities of the occasion. Old and young
we're there-the grave and the gay-all bad
come to enjoy themselves. and to lend their
aid in making their friends and neighbors
do the same. After some time spent in
pleasant chit-chat the greater portion of the
company repaired to the new Masonic Hall,
which had been fitted up in splendid style,
where the entertainment began in earnest
There when the sound of iute and fiddle
Gave signal sweet in that new hall.
Of hands across and down the middle"
But the most important feature of the en-
terainment was the supper. It has seldom
been our fortune to set down to repast
that would excel, in any particular, that
which graced the "festive board" at the
Emporia House on New Years Eve, and
too much credit cannot be awarded to Mr.
Bancroft and his excellent lady for the man
nsr in which they catered to the appetites
Of the hungry on the occasion. After sup
per the dance was resumed, and the gay
participants "chased the happy hours
away" until the approach of the great day
king warned them that it was time to bring
the festivities to close, and all departed for
their homes feeling that they had had
pleasant time of it.
Altogether, the occasion was one which
will not soon be forgotten. Everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves, and no event
occurred to mar the good feelings Of any
one-at least we did not hear the slightest
complaint. The supper was excellent and
luple to satisfy the hunger of ali-the mu-
SIC, by Messrs. James and Joseph Hall, c.
H. Hassler and v. r. Holmes, could not
have been beatsn-the Managers did their
duties to perfection-both ladies and gen
temen were affable, polite and Courteous
and in fact the whole thing passed off in a
manner highly creditable TO all concerned.
