Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1864-01-29
Tha Berksbirs Festival


EDITOR GAZETTE The ladies OF
the Berkshire Soldiers Aid Society
gave a Supper on Christmas Eve, to
replenish their somewhat exhausted
treasury. They made preparations
upon larger scale than they had
ever done before. The amount of
cakes, pies, canned fruits, chickens.
turkies, and everything eatable, col
lected, seemed more than sufficient
to provide for any number that
would be likely to come. The di-
ming hall was tastefully trimmed
with evergreens, at one end of which
was the Stars and Stripes draped a.
bove the portrait of the Father of
his Country. Every thing was rep
resented in some manner in the ta-
bic decorations. from the log cabin
of the pioneers to the white house
of the President.
At half-past six the first bell rang
the call to supper, and. the commit
tee who had been arranging things
in the dining hall were astonished
and amazed at the crowd that press
ed for places. For the ladies to wait
upon them seemed impossible; land
just here let me take the opportuni-
ty to thank Mr.. GEO. NELSON, from
near Delaware, and several gentle
men in the crowd, who came prompt
ly to the rescue and rendered the la
dies a service for which they were
very gratefully After the second ta-
ble it was impossible to maintain or
der. The crowd pressed upon eve
ry corner where ingress or egress
could be obtained, blockading the
passage left for thse to wait upor
the table, to their very great incon-
venience.. Some of the committee
even wept to see their efforts to Sc
cure order so fruitless. However,
it was a good natured crowd, that
ioked merrily about the jam, and pa
tiently ate whatever they could find,
and drank their tea and coffee, which
sometimes [ am afraid was not No.
1 article, although it had been de-
termined thatthe best of every thing
should be provided. Before ten o.
c ock it was given out that the oys-
ters were all gone; next the cakes;
and finally few broken meats and
pies were all that was left to meet
the demands Of the hungry but pa
tient people.
The young ladies had prepared
Bazaar, where toys and Christmas
presents were sold. They thought
they hadprocured more than enough,
but by eight o'clock every thing was
gone, and the crowd was calling for
more. The simple truth is, the So
ciety had not anticipated such a
rush. q They did not consider how
like a swhi1lwind the desire to do
something for the soldier was sweep
ing the.country. The receipts were

dustrious mothers, we shall endeav-
or to furnish many useful and practl-
cal suggestions in relation to the
proper combination of colors, choos-
ing materials, including cutting and
making dresses, and -children's
clothes, which of necessity must
occupy a much larger portion OF |
woman's time, when no reliable au-
thority is at hand to be consulted
which cannot fail to
prove a source of much gratitica-
tion, economy, personal refinement
and home comfort.
Do not fail to bear in mind that
we furnish, in value, during the
year, more than So in full-size pat
terms alone; while in plates, engra-
wings, reliable information on fash
ons, more than can be secured in
any or all the other fashion maga-
zines put together, and yet the year
y subscription being only 81, with
he extra fifty cents worth of full
,ize patterns sent as a premium,
makes the yearly subscription to
,ost really only fifty cents, indepen-
lent of the Carte de Visite. Do
lot fail to subscribe for the Mirror,
f you wish to secure it promptly as

,ers.
