The Party.-To say that the Dance last
evening was ''tho very best of tho Season"
might be ambiguous, but We may say 1t wss
one of the very hest VIC have ever had In
Deer Lodge. The attendance was quite
laree-all that could dance comfortably
and Cavcn, as usual, handled the bow su'
pcrbly. Dancing began carly, and at mid
night all were on the road home, unwearieta
and fresh for the morrow's duties. Given %
farewell party to Miss Maggie Irvine, she
could not but appreciate the compliment, and
with grateful memories Of Deer Lodge, thro'
all distance and absent days. Masonic Hall
proves to be better adapted to dancing p'r'
tics than the Court Room, and should
dancing club be organized this winter. we
hope arrangements may bo made with the
Lodge to procure the use Of it.
For me States.-This mornings coach
for Corinnc took away Mr.. John H. vii.
liams of Race Track, Miss Maggie B. Irvine,
and Miss Katie Kelly Of Deer Lodge, sn
route to the States. Mr.. Williams and MlDs
Kelly 60 to Atchison, Kansas, where the
latter will probably remain at school. Miss
Maggie Irvine goes to st. Joe, No., thence
to Lexington, KY, where she will remain q
twclve.mOnth, visiting the old home and
old friends-unless meantime, and We trust
they may, Montana and not less numerous
and devoted friends win her back to the
Valley home. OF the many who have gone
or may 20, mono will be more missed from
society, and none attended by better wishes
for pleasant journey, health, happiness,
and q speedy return to Deer Lodge.
