The Festival, at the Shawban House on
Thursday evening last, was all that the most
fastidious epieure could have desired. Two
tables extending the entire length Of the long
dining hall, were loaded with the choicest vi g..
ands and sweet meats Of the scason-every-
thing, in fact, that the Imagination could con-
ceiye or the heart Of man desire. And here,
we must not forget the generous aid, extend
ed the editorial fraternity of Timn, by her
noble and publiospirited citizens, to whom is
due, in great measure, the success Of this en-.
torpriso.

the sumptuous ropast and, after invocation Of

take deep interest and to which they did
ample justice.
! We do not remember ever to have seen such
an array Of beauty, wit and brains, >" as was
here assembled. The "lions" and the pretty
'lambs" were sitting in dangerous proximity,
looking all innocence aud smiles and we came
TO the conclusion that the good time coming"
had "ariv." The beauty and chiyalry Of
Tihn were there, rErE.A rErE with the al.

modern Ajax, might be seen the titan form Of
Ramsey, the "sponsible editor Of the Hardin
County DufocRAr, whose capacity was never
before fully tested. When called upon 10 res.
pond 70 a toast, he admitted himself "too full
for utterance." The young and susceptible
editors present were bcsiegod on all sides by
Hellenic beauty aud, turn where they would,
pair Of captivating, dark eyes looked love to
eyes in turn, and the rock-bouud citadel of
many a heart was scaled. Our Cleveland
brethren had a falling in this direction.
But there is an end TO all things and so
there vas to Ramsey's eating. All having
d me ample justice TO the "Eeightier matters"
under consideration and especially the n
VALVES, the "ieast of reason and flow Of soul"
came next in order! The "toasts" were read
and were happily responded to. Many of the
gentlemen called out were eloquent, Others
Witty and others grave and imperturbable -
The responses were all characterized by mark
ed ability and genial flow cfgood humor.
The chairman Of the evening, Earl Bill,
