The Strawberry Festival.


The ladies of the Home Relief Society OF
our Village held Strawberry Festival in
the Court House on last evening for tie
purpose of raising the financial condition OF
their Society, thereby rendering their be-
nevoIent efforts, in relieving the distress
ed in our midst, more effective.
At an early hour the rooms were crowded
and remained so until late at night, and the
affair pronounced by every one to have been
most perfect success. The tables were
richly laden with eatables, and handsomely
decorated with all the varieties of roses
and other flowers which the month of June
produces in this climate. Fitting like fai-
ries through the crowd, and standing be-
hind the stands and tables were the fair
ladies' of the Society, who succeeded in
captivating the gentlemen so well that the
receipts of the evening were swelled to $50.
Though such affairs are like angel visits in
one sense, We hope they will not be SO in
another-we hope they will not be "few and
far between"

The Convention was not as numerously
attended as in past years, yet it was good,
and the interchange Of feeling and senti-
ment pleasant indeed.
The proceedings were harmonious, inter
spersed with wit and humor, and well cal
| culated to make one forget for the hour the
arduous tasl, of the editor in selecting
and writing matter for his paper, expecting
every moment to hear the ominous word
copy sung out by the dera, and others in
I his employ.
The citizens Of Madison did their best to
make this pleasant season to the fraterni-
ty by extending to them invitations to the
Euterpean Society," a musical institution of
the city, combining good degree of home
talent.
The Horticultural Society also gave an
invitation to visit floral exhibition at the
Assembly room, which was highly enter
tanning and fragrant, filling the large room
with the rich perfume Of flowers, and Civ
ing at a glance fine view of Madison So
ciety, winding up with a trip on the eight
fantastic toe,' to the soul-stirring stains of
music.
Before adjourning, the Convention elected
Col. ATWOOD, of the Journal, President for
the current year, and JAMES Ross ESQ.,,
Secretary.
The Co.'s. invitation to visit himself and
lady at their residence, was very pleasant
and enlivening season, where wine, wit and
wisdom were well mingled together. The
entertainment consisted of ice cream and
cake, well washed down with sparkling
Champaign, aud other old and approved
brands. And to the credit of the craft be
it said they all enjoyed themselves hugely

Our wish is that we all may live to
enjoy many more such literary and cheer
