DINNER

announcement which WAS music to the
hundreds of hungry ones who busily set
themselves at work preparing their viands
Ample preparations had been made to
have plenty of good tables around
which were comfortable seats. The snow
white cloths soon glistened upon the board
and most beautiful supply of provisions
was ready to serve the keenest appetites
If the Old Settlers of Scott and Rock Island
counties don't know how to prepare a meal
suitable for the location then there is no
need Of looking any further. Never before
in palace or woodland we're tables more
tastefully and bountifully spread. In the
line of substantials there was everything
which the frames of the robust pioneers
demanded, and their good tastes called for
of delicacies then was every thing for which
one would ask or which could be provided
OF the many people present, notwithstand
ing there was among them q great diversity
from every calling or business in life, all
| seemed to be on the same platform at the
table, all were adopts at disposing of the
rich supplies before them, and the whole
scene was one continual round of merri.
ment.
Following the dinner there we're promis
cuous speeches, intersperced by anecdotes
BY some of our old citizens.
From the time that the main procession
arrived at the place of meeting until nearly
noon there WAS q continual arrival of people
until the crowd assumed proportions far
surprising sll expectations of a good atten>
dance. The day was dark, damp, and
gloomy, bu. the people we're all light-hearted
and active, fully evincinR the interest tina,
they took in the meeting and the measure
of happiness they were enjoying.
After day pleasantly and probably
spent, the whole assembly. Joined in the
song of "Auld Lang Syne" when they
retired from the Island and dispersed to
their several homes.
The day will long be remembered by those
in attendance. 1t was one of those coca
sions on which old times and events are
recalled to mind present cares and anx
ieties are forgotten and the mind lives 10
the light of youthful BY gone days. These
are seasons no less of profit than interest to
old and young, they tend to strengthen
those ties of sympathy which are the uner-
ring promises to q community of peace, Sc
curity, and mutual interests.

RAILROAD IMPROvEMENTs.-The govern.
ment works on the Island have caused sew
eral changes to be made on both sides of
the river. The property purchased by the
c., r. l. g. 2. railroad company in Daven
port, from the foot of lie Claire street to the
intersection of Perry and Fifth. amounts to
$l23,S75. There were twenty-five pieces of
property purchased, twenty three of which
were arranged for by the company's agent,
thus leaving only two to be appraised.
In making its purchases, the company has
dealt in spirit of great liberalisy with the
property owners, choosing to make its own
trades and pay fair price for the property
desired rather than arrive at terms through
the operations of the courts. 1t is fair to
presume that had the whole right of way
been settled by appraising jurors the total
of the purchase would have been considera
bly, less than it now stands. But as before
stated, 1t was the policy of the corporation
to do its own business, and it has done it
well-even to the advantage of many of the
sellers.
The company has now purchased all the
property it has any need of in making its
constructions, and in due season the road
will be running through on the new line.

IIEAsAHw SURPRISE, --''Surpriss
parties" as a rule, are failures but there
are exceptions to this as well as to all other
rules. Suo.y an exception was the Sur.
prise cd the residence of Mr.. JAMES SrENs

to the number Of 30 or 60, was made up
Episcopal Church and congregation, and
descended upon Mr.. s. and his family like
an avalanche, u. aboc.,7tP. NJ, when the
younger members OF the household were on
the point of retiring; and for momen
genuine surprise was depicted on the faces
of Mr.. S. and his worthy spouse. 1t was
but for momentf, however, for they soon
comprehended thersiouation and set about
making the best of it. Sooner than we
can relate it, all were comfortably located
around the cheerful fres and an ont
slider glancing in would have supposed it
was company Of invited guests for which
due preparations had been made. About
lo1 the ladies' brought out their baskets
| took possession Of the Kitchen and dining
room, and began stcwing oysters, boiling
coffee, and laying the table for supper
! Four times was thesong dining table filed
and emptied ere all were served, by which
time nidnight's hour approached, and dis
position to adjourn was manifest No mo-
tion to that effect was deemed necessary
so each at pleasure departed, pleased
with the surprise" and heartily grateful
to the surprised host and hostess.
