The Mansion Star says the mer-
chants of that village have generously
added to its subscription list the names
of one thousand new subscribers. The
orders of the contributors are that the
papers is to be sent to citizens of that
and adjoining counties, the principal no.
tells, advertisers and prominent business
men in the leading cities, that the bust
ness advantages of the village and pro-
gress of the county may be understood.
That is very sensible thing to do, and
the example of the Mansion merchants
might be followed to advantage else
where.

DoNATIoN.-The donation party at the
residence of Mr.. A. D. Jones, for the
benefit of Rev. T. B. Dooley, rector of
St. James church, was well attended and
proved to be not only profitable in a Pc
cuniary point, but also entertaining to
those who attended. The large house
was crowded and during a part of the
evening the company was amused by
number of young schools girls who acted a
charade very creditably. After partak-
ing OF some refreshments provided for
the occasion by members of the church,
the company at late hour in the eve
ming left for their homes well satisfied.
The gross receipts of the donation
amounted to two hundred dollars.

THF WEATHER. forepart of last

Sunday when 1t eliminated in a snow

HE LAUGHS BEST WHO LAUGHS
LAST. "A correspondent, who writes
for our neighbor over the way, has made
a studied effort to prove that one of the
editors of this paper has not used gram
matica, language even while criticising
the language Of others. His article is
we'll written in some respects, and some
points that he makes are worthy of at
tention, though had he known that we
discovered the mistake two weeks sooner
THAI he did, and had he known how easy
it is for one letter to change the construc-
ton of whole sentence, he never would
have picked up such insignificant errors
as he cites. The first point he endeavors
to make is wholly unworthy of attention;
any child would know it was a TYPO
graphical error and the writer who
points it out shows that he understood it
so /; but the second really has bad look.
1t appeared in the TRIBUNE, as stated,
to wit: ''The sense which the words
were intended to convey was taught as
we'll as ,oere pronunciation. The ital-
icized word were was written "mere"
in the original manuscript (which may be
seen at this office) and was not discovered
until the paper was all printed Now so
far as the labored attempt to show that we
had accused teacher of 'borbarity IN
hauing beaten her scholars so as to mark
a ruter" is concerned,w can only say the
insinuation is false and base and deprives
the article in question of whatever merit
it otherwise possesses. But allowing
for arguments sake that we had made
the blunders attributed to us should that
deter us from furnishing intelligence to
our readers concerning our local institu
tons? We think not. In conclusion let
US ask the correspondent referred to if
"decidly BAD isn't decidedly bad? and
when he writes the sentence land not
chargable'' upon the editor" if he is not
chargcable with mis-spelling? and when
he spells grammatical with one I'm"
if he don't indulge in bad grammar?

MAsoUERADE.-Tu Hall was the
scene of considerable merriment on Tues
day evening. The annual masquerade of
this society, is an event that is always
looked upon with great deal of favor,
and sure to draw large crowd. The
number who appeared in costume on this
occasion was perhaps as large as at any
masquerade that has taken place for
few years past, and embraced quite
variety of characters, such as are wit
messed at similar balls. Everybody pres
ent seemed to partake largely of the spir-
it of the occasion and determined to en-
joy themselves as much as possible.
About half past ten clock masks we're
removed and all had an opportunity of
recognizing the different characters. This
was followed with Grammatical perform
ance in mask, which was received by the
audience with great dealof favor and the
festivities of the evening concluded with
dancing. The managers are entitled to
considerable credit for the excellent order
that was kept during the entire evening.
