berry Party given by Mr.. James H. Stacy, to his
friends from Cleveland at Earle's Rooms, No.
East Third street, on Thursday evening.
The Strawberries which were the first of the
season, were of the first quality, and delicious
was the Pass Word, as they disappeared from
sight The table was also well supplied with
Cake, Ice Cream, Coffee, &c, which would have
given satisfaction TO the most fastidious epicure.
Mr. Stacy presided, aud in a few brief, but well
timed remarks, expressed his qualification at once
more meeting so many of his friends, which was
responded to by the Hon. John A. Foot, in behalf
of the Cleveland delegation but words could NOT
express the good feeling that prevailed among the
partakers as they received th is token of regard
from their friend aud fellow citizen
The Cincinnati papers made one or two slight
errors in their notices, as the damsel referred to
was young gentleman, and the Rev james Ster
ling that spoke to the children, was James 7

The delegates to the Convention feel under obli-
cations to the officers of the Cleveland Columbus
