HOW TO GET THERE.

If you are in Boston take the night express
sleeping car train for Bangor. While you
are quietly asleep the train will run through
Portland, Augusta and Waterville, but when
it reaches Newport, on the Maine Central,
about six o'clock in the morning, you must
disembark and take the cars on the branch to
Dexter, which will be waiting for you at the
station. Augusta passengers take the express
train at four o'clock in the morning. on its
arrival from Boston. Once at Newport and
aboard the cars for Dexter, you run distance
of fourteen miles to the latter place, which is
the terminus of railroad travel. Dexter is
one of the smartest villages in the State, has
two hotels, the largest of which, the Mer-
chants Exchange, well kept by L. ID. Hayes,
will receive you from the cars and furnish
you with substantial breakfast preparatory
to stage ride of thirty-six miles. About
eight the ''stage is ready" and you are off,
with an obliging driver whom everybody
calls Jerry" and fine team of four horses
Looking around you will find nearly all the
passengers armed with guns and fishing tackle,
while upon the top of the coach rides tent
or two and birch canoe, giving you a very
sensible hint of the business in hand. Pass
ing through Sangerville, Guilford, Abbot, Cat
which latter place you dine) Monson and Shir-
ley all neat, thriving villages, you reach
Oreenville and the foot of the Lake at from
ive to seven o'clock in the afternoon, accom-
plishing the journey from Boston TO the Lake
in one day and night, and from Augusta in
one day. Passengers may take the steamer
in Boston and go to Bangor, and thence by
rail either to Dexter or Dover, and by stage

OPPORTUNITY FOR SPORTING.

The Lake is forty miles long. A cast of
your line almost anywhere along its margin
will bring the speckled beauties to the surface,
dashing for the fly. You are not obliged to
follow small streams and brooks, embarrassed
by overhanging trees and crowding I'M
derbrush, but you may stand upon the solid
rock, or in the "birch," and throw your line
as far and as long as you please without OBJ
struction. You may capture good trout with
in stones throw of the Kineo House, but by
going mile you will do better. A morn
ing's sport for fair sportsman has sometimes
yielded fifty trout, seldom falls below ten.
For hunting make Kineo your headquarters.
Employ guide there, of which there are
many and good ones, get your supplies also
there, go to the head of the Lake and you

to Greenville, but the route by the Maine
Central is the most comfortable and takes but
one day while the other requires two. At the
foot of the Lake are two hotels, where you
will be supplied with good fare, and if it is a
frosty morning bright, open, old fashioned,
wood fire will be blazing in ample fire
place. Open wood fires are the rule after
you reach Dexter. Tarrying at Greenville
through the night, the next morning you step
aboard the steamer Fairy of the Wave and
make the passage up the Lake in about three
hours to

VALENTINES DAY.-The ancient custom

find the common csricatures of the nine
teen.h century, printed on common paper,
illustrated with hideous shapes and fanoies
and accompanied by few lines of the most
wretcbed attempts at rhyme, that often
cause breach in the friendship of parties,
merely from suspected connection with the

pleasure to travel behind that Durham Bull"

too fast for anything on the road to-day.

Scheutzen Verein occurred u turner nsh
las. night and most successful affair it
Over three hundred tickets we're sold,
and .bou. $500 are the profits of the ball,
i. verv good nights work, that, for the So
ciety.
Put three hundred people into Turner
Hall, and let them promenade and dance as
they did last evening, and US q natural con-
sequence. some one must be pushed, crowd
ed, and run into. As general thing such
trifing damages as were received last even
ing we're met with good natured smile,
albeit the sufferer was suffering the excruci-
ating agony of having his corn field obliter-
ated.
The programme was about the same as in
former years, music, promenades en- masque,
dancing, etc varied by some fine singing
by the Tyrolean club, leb by Scheutzsnfester
Bek, after VIII ich the crowd marched in to
an excellent hot supper, prepared for them
BY Robert kBhler. After supper The dane
ing was resumed and continued until 9 late
hour this morning. The music was very
good, furnished by Luppy Of Davenport.
The attendance was SO large that it wa.
about as comfortable to walk as to sit, 10
fact, the gathering was almost too large
for enjoym eat, but showed that the Schut
zens were very popular with the outside
world.
Owing to the large crowd, and the want
of facilities, we were unable to obtain more
than partial list OF persons present, and
unable to obtain list OF the characters
assumed. The names of the gentlemen we
are obliged to omit for want Of information
The following ladies were en- masque, and

had been used in their preparation

A number of ladies and gentlemen from
Davenport we're present, and were richly
and elegantly costumed.
To mention The different costumes would
DE tedious, We would therefore say that they
were all tasty and elegant. The seasons
were well represented by four young ladies
in appropriate costumes. There were devils
and angels, fairies and demons, priests and
nuns, sojer men, nynphs, waiter girls, mig
gers, heather Chinee, and others grotesque
and charming.
The whole affair WAS conducted with the
utmost decorum, and the strenuous efforts
Of the committee made it one Of the mos,
peaoeabls masquerades we ever attended
To say that i, WAS success, would be the
truth, both pecuniarly and otherwise it was
so, and the executive committee of the soci
ETY. are deserving of praise for the manner
IN which they discharged their onerous
duties. The members of the society are
more particularly worthy of N ention for tbs
able manner in which they have contributed
to the success of the occasion.
