Dear Editors As things have been rather
lively at the mount" during the last Two weeks,
1 thought few lines might be interesting to
yourselves and readers.
On Thursday evening, the 18th inst, Misses
Bailey, jerks, Sauerwein and Candy, assisted
by Messrs. Osborne, Candy, Bortells, Graham,
Tardley and Whitelock, gave an entertainment,
consisting of charades and tableaux, In the
spacious parlors of Miss Gibbons boarding
house. There was quite large attendance,
Notwithstanding the rain, which just poured
enough to escort us to the evenings amusement.
The ladies acted their parts beautifully, espe-
cially Miss Candy, who was perfect in her rem
dition of the several characters which she as
sumed. Mr.. Bortells as "the DOCTOR" and Mr..
Whitelock the "boy who was struck in the
eye," were perfect. The latter gentleman oc-
cupied an enviable situation, which was not
"all in his eye." Refreshments were damaged
'.regardless of COST" and the entertainment
closed, which, considering its being an I'M
promptu affair, was exceedingly enjoyable, and
a great success.
On Sunday morning. the 18th inst st. Johns
P E. Church held its largest congregation
Rev. Mr. Lee preached an excellent sermon.
He was assisted with the service by Rev. DR..
Campbell, of Iowa. The music was not up to
its usual high standard, owing to the absence OF
two of the members of the choir.
Thursday evening, the 22d inst, about thirty
young people, and myself, started from the
"Mount" in Mr.. Woolston's large hay-wagon,
driven by the excellent driver, 'Woolston, Jr."
To be sure the road was rather rough, (never-
theess it was named Feather bed Lane,) but a
jolly ride we had, arriving at "Woolston Man
Or about 50 T. M W. We were re cordially well
D-n, C0y, L. W-n, and L-y grcss5'd SLe .rooI:-s

the result of scientifically played March on
the piano. The carouSGL "subsided" at T. M.
Friday night found us at Colonel Winners
| boarding house. The building looked unusual
| ly attractive. Chinese lanters were hung around
the house, and over the entrance was Welcome
to Glendale" Diapers famous music was In
centive to liveliness, and merry and delight
| full time we spent. Still another frut-supper
| and the result-two gentlemen sick. DR.. Mon
kur being on hand, Cat the supper-table, o.
course,) prescribed for them, and at A. M
| they were again "whirling around in the may
waltz" Morpheus at last prevailed and at A. 81
A. NJ. most every one of the visitors had left
with many thanks to Col. Wilmer, Floor Man
ager Shryock, and the Committee on arrange
ments."
Saturday afternoon we attended base bal
match between the Pickwick and Enterprise
clubs. The former of Lutherville, the latter o
the mount" and on the latter clubs grounds
Mr.. Duvall, umpire. There were several o
"the sex" in attendance. AZ the end of the 5tl
inning the game was called, lit being too darl
to play longer) The score was Pickwick 10
Enterprise Is.
Sunday morning Mr.. Lee oficiated at tn
Episcopal Church. There was very large coz
gregation. We were inclined to feel melanchol
at the sight of three young men sitting IN a bac
seat, struggling with weak moustaches. Thel
names are Messrs. Dr., DC and BIS, and W
really pity them.
We are informed that there will be anothe
q "grand hop" at Colonel Winners on the 18th 9
September. s. o. SHALL.
