Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1862-03-28

tablishment as can be found in the State
This number commences our third year
among you, and the desire of our heart is to
make the GAZETTE better to you than it has
been in the years that are past To accom-
| plish this we want your co-operation-that is
your money. Week by week the GAzErTs
is finding its way into other homes than
those it has been accustomed to visit, and
we hope, before the year closes that our pet
may double its list Of acquaintance.
Four Score Years and 7en.-Mr. JonS
GARRISON, Of this place, celebrated his ninet-
eth birthday last Monday, by grand dinner,
to which there sat down twenty two children
and grand children. The total number of
his children, grand children, great grand
children and great, great grand children is
ninety,-the number just corresponding with
his age, which is rather remarkable coinci-
dence. At the gathering his children pre-
scented him with pyramid cake three feet
high, on which were the appropriate notices:
q Thy children honor thee" and Long life
to you" Mr.. GARRISON was twenty seven
years old when Washington died, and of
course remembers distinctly of those early
days of which the most us have no knowi-
edge only as gathered from the pages Of his
tory, and which seems to us Of this fast age
so very far back in the past. May there be
many years yet in store for this aged veteran.
and may his closing years be as happy and
peaceful as his former have been honorable
and prosperous.

7erwuligar's Glee Club-This Club gave
concert at the Methodist Church on Tues
day evening last. Unfortunate as we thought
the night to be for such an entertainment,
the house was comfortably filled. We were
surprised to see so many ladies out, and we
could bQt think that TERwILLGAR must be
favorite among them. AT least we thought
it a high compliment to the man of song.
Without exaggerating, it was the most dis
agreeable evening OF the scason--muddy and
sloppy, and very dark. In every ravinc in
town flowed a mighty, laundering torrent,
across whose stormy waves the ladies had to
be jumped and carried by the sterncr sex,
and the young men, We observed, shrank
from the task as one Of righteousness and ex-
tremc disagreeableness We think TERwII-
LIGAR should feel under obligations to many
of our young men for the sclf-sacriicing
spirit they evnced on that evening. They
did not seem to hesitate ut heavy burdens or
fear to fill their boots with water; their
anxious desire to make the concert successful,
overcame all their feelings Of bashfulncss and
false delicacy. Many ladies' were there who,
we think, never would have been had they
not been carried Therefore, under all the
seeming disadvantages, we arc enabled to re-
cord the concert as quite successful. The
Club done themselves credit. "Cedar Falls
Waltz" composed Pr. TERwrLLIGAr, we
think was the best thing Of the evening"
