AGREEABLE sURPAIsE.
On Monday night last the many
warm friends Of Mr.. HughL Webb
and his ezcsllsnt wife, organized .
company in the county and town
and INTENDED to take them by sur
prise; but of course the motheE
and daughter had to be taken into
the secret, or il would not be as
complete surprise as intended
Mr. w. MUST be kept in the dark,
you know. Well the time APP
preached, and every preparation
was made, and, up to Monday
night near 6 o clock, the good old
driver of ye express-the safe and
reliable WEBB-as good as was
ever woven into so much humanity
was completely mystified. He
had, however, two eyes that he'd
used for years in printing Office
and they had not forgotten their
cunning, when glancing at the
Sunday fix-ups Of his family, and
the general arrangements OF his
tabernacle, he said nothing but
his thinking powers were sharpened
by the observation. Making an ex-
cuse to go up stairs for q book, he
got his Sunday 7go-to-meetinga and
threw them out of the window
came down with his book-went
out, gathered up his good clothes,
and quietly going into the wood
house, he slipped into them. Re-
naming ont there until the com
pany had gathered, he very DELHI
erately- marched in among the
crowd, much to the surprise of his
| family, not in his express uniform
as they expected; but in his ''best
bib and tucker" This WAS sur
| prise No l.
! The goodly company unpacked
their well filed baskets, and soon
the tables were grooming beneath
the weight of o feast the heather
gods would have went into the
'high-st strikes over. When after
all had partaken of the bountiful
repast, and the old and the young
had. mutually had q season of con
versational enjoyment varied By
delightful instrumental and voca,
music, then came surprise No. 2
which consisted Of a presentation
on the part of the company to Mr.
and Mrs. WERE of splendid silver
castor-sett of large and small sill
yer spoons sett of very fin,
knives and forks, with the names o
recipients engraved thereon. Sew
eral other valuable mementoes o
the appreciation in which our sols
friend WEBB and his wife, are hel,
by their friends, were handed Il
them. by Elder LATEIn Of tn
Christian Church, who made . brie
presentation speech This, kind
ness came near knocking Bro. W
s'out of sorts" but he speedily re
covered, raised his 'sform' to its az
customed height, and, in q few fee
ing remarks, made an Impression
that will never be forgotten by a
who heard him thanking the dor
ors on behalf of himself and vii
for their unexpected Kindness.
At a seasonable hour, the com
pany dispersed to their sever.
homes, all highly pleased with th
evenings incidents and with eac
other.

Eccentric and Humorous Charities.

The paper read at the Hon. Horatio Kings on Saturday evening by ex- Governor Mccormick, of Arizona, was part of an elaborate essay upon odd and singular exhibitions of charity which he had prepared as the advance chapter of volume upon this interesting subject. By travel in the Old World and much reading, MT. Mccormick has gathered a large amount of the quaint material of which he gave his hearers fore- taste, and with which they seemed highly entertained. After reciting various curious gifts and bequests, the lecturer urged the duty of charity, and illustrated the blessings ever at tendant upon the exercise of this virtue, of which Pope has beautifully written
 "In faith and hope the world will disagree, But all mankind's concerned in charity; All must be false that thwart this one the
 great end,
 And all of God that bless mankind or
 mend."
