THE STRAWBERRY PARTY.-A larger number of
people attended Felter's Strawberry party on
Friday evening last than ever before. Over a
hundred tickets were sold, and some thirty ladies
were present. AS source of pleasure and en-
joyment the Strawberry party leads anything of
the kind annually given in Trinity. The drive
over the mountains is pleasant one, aud extra
ordinary pains is always taken by Mr.. Felter and
lady to make their guests comfortable and happy
And then, the opportunity to indulge in straw
berries to your hearts content is offered at no
other time and place hereabouts. Somewhere in
the neighborhood of five bushels were devOured,
aud still there were plenty remaining.
Very few who have ever attended Felter s
Strawberry party once can be induced to miss it,,
as the years roll around. We hope it may ever
continue to be source of qualification and pleas
ure to citizens

rA Washington correspondents Of
the Leavenworth. Cosse, uati0s, relates
the following incident. which has crea-
ted some gossip at the capital: ~
Mr.. Buchanan threw the White House
open to visitors yesterday morning. the
last day Of his occupancy. A large
number Of ladies and gentlemen avail
ed themselves of the courtesy. The
grand East Roem has faded worn-eut
appearance, with a few dilapidated
chairs and sofas, and a threadbare car
pet. The irescoes, mirrors, and other
permanent adornments have been on a
magnificent scale, but the mean appear
ance of the furniture and carpets give
it a gloomy and uninviting air. Among
the visitors was young. beautiful
and dashing daughter Of one Of the
most prominent United States Sen.
ators. While crossing the room she
tripped. and was only saved from fall
ling 70 the floor BY the galan.ry Of a
distinguished military gentleman Of
your city. who caught her in his arms.
She thanked him, and the twain imme-
dia.ely entered into conversation, dur
which she asked his opinion of the
White House. lie replied that its d.
lapidaied condition astonishcd him.
She answered. with knowing toss Of
the head. "The occupant of this house
for the last four years. Sir. has been a
bachelor, and If lie could have had a
nice, srest litsle wife to have taken care
of him and this house. you would not
have found it in this dilapidated condi-
ton. 1t is an important lesson 10 you
young men, sir!" All the company
who heard the remark. laughed heartily
and the two strolled through the Capt.
tol grounds TO Mills equestrian statue
Of Jackson. The last your correspon-
dent saw of them, they we're sitting on
bench, in the shade ola cedar tree near
the statue. talking very intently. What
may become Of this | leave the fair
ones to divine. II is now the gossip Of
the circle Of acquaintance on both
sides.
