The Augusta (Me.) Journal has the
following account of a protTacted battle

Corydon Chadwick and Mr.. Sullivan

South Chino, which they use fer the pas

have each an OK with a loopcd or crooked
horn, the right horn of one and the left
OF the other having that peculiar forma-
tion. These oxen were turned loose into
the common pasture, and 1t was between
them on that point that the pitched battle
OF which we are speaking took place.
For several days these cattle have
been missing; and when the other
cattle came up these we're not

upon a sickening spectacle. The lo0ped
horns of the oxen were clasped, and the
exhausted animals, united eompactly,
stood face to face waiting for death,
having apparently given up the struggle.

engaged in play their horns became

AWAKENING.


Written for the STATE JOURNAL.
Alas for the beautiful summer dreams
That the autumn winds will break
And o, ior the lives that today are glad,
But tomorrow must bear the ache
All. many a heart has taken part
In the game Of give and take.
Fair were the summer days-and long,
And still was the fragrant night;
Life was dreamy, and lips were sweet,
And eyes were aglow with light;
Tremulous sighB-their low replies,
And fluttering hands Of white.
u, sea so you let them dream their dreams
In the hush OF the weste glow,
You sang of love to the bending mooni
While you rocked them to and troi
or the tired years, and the waiting years.
All, me how could they know.
Over the summer as over the dreams
The autumn blight must creep,
Hide them away in the mountains heart,
Or down by the sounding deep;
Through the sunny day they had their play
But now is the time to weep. -.

have takea the place, to a great extent,
of the old. fashioned party, and have
made decided inroads into the custom Of
receiving on New Years day. All
ladies who make any pretensions to
society habits, society customs and
society manners, must " receive" either
on certain day, a certain evening each
week, or upon a certain number OF
specified days in specified months during
the " season."
Visiting cards are all that are required
to make the announcement, and to these
are added, "Thursdays," Fridays"
"Saturday evenings" or whatever the
time Is, in the lower left corner.
Whenever ladies give series of recep'
tlons, fortnikhtly for example, through
the months of January and February,
they arc rather more formal. Visiting
cards are sometimes employed, but they
are sent specially, To different persons fol
different evenings, and If still more cere
mony is considered desirable, cards are
engraved for the purpose. Such recep
tione take the form of small and selec
evening parties. Supper is not provided
but refreshments arc handed round
simple or elaborate, according to th'
taste and means OF the hostess, bu
usually simple.
For day receptions, no Refreshments a
all are required.
At regular weekly evening receptions
sometimes tea and cake, or tea and brea
and butter are passed round, and occa
sionally chocolate and Ice cream but tn
latest notion in exclusive circles ordain
tea, and broom bread and butter only
