That Sleigh Ride.

We were one of a party of some
twenty or twenty-five couples that went
a sleighiug to Centreville, and to a
dance at the McCauley House, last
Thursday evening. The sleighing was
all that could reasonably be asked, and
in about an hour and a half from the
time Of starting we were latde} at the
MsCauley House where wc found a
iovial company already assembled. We
noticed among the number Charles
McV can, postmaster at St. Mary 5, and
some ten Or fifteen couples that hailed
from the same place.
We forgot to mention that it was n old
fofke's party although from ;he way the
old boys danced aad told stories, c,c., (etc.,
which means fire. water) ore would supl osC
them to have been a party of oung gSters
in their teens. Hirm's string lanl con
sisting in part OF Ja44es Harm ami Franz
Dill furnished music for tn C occasion, and
from the rapid manner in which dance sue
ceeded dance, 10 one will nc &c use them OF
neglectipg their vocation. Among other
gentlcn en present we mott ced Isaac Horton,
and Alf. Short of Nor heast, hut speaking
Of Isaac reminds us of a story that John
Kline told as during the progress of The
festivities, IN this wise; last fall during
the political canvass, Isaac discov
cred that his eyesight was growing dim,
and, pondering he concluded that h
would purchase pair of spectacles. HI
dropped in to Powell & kime's store fol
hat purpose; several pairs were shown him
but none suited, some were too young anC
some too old; finally he picked up pair
tried them on and with a newspaper be
fore his eyes, de ,lared tAst the eyes of hi
boyhood days never served him batter; anC
taking the clerk to task for not having
shown him this pair In the first place
The clerk tock the spectacles; and putting
his finger throw the bows convinced Isaat
that thsre was no glass in them, proving
that Isaac was laboring under an optca
illusion. What did Isaac De- Nothing, h,
only laughed. But to return to the dance
Isaac was the first one on the floor an;
the last one to leave in the morning; h,
said he could't half dance because hi
pumps were packed with the rest of hi
goods and on their way ts Northeast. VI
will not further enum crate but add in con
clusion that all present we're unanimou
in the opinion that it was the best dance o
the season.
The supper was very good, and mucl
enjoyed after our ride of ten miles, ant
our dance of one hour before supper. W
think the host and hostess of the MoCaule,
House are deserving of great deal o,
praise, fr such an elegant repast an
gotten up in the shcrt time of one day
We for one, say let's go again.
In the morning we came home but tn
bright vision of the night before was lost t
our mind. and, in the language of the poe
we exclaimed:
Bel Is are ringing all the day,
Money spent and thrown away,
For sure there is the de- to pay,

which gave him great influence, aud a

AN APPEAL FOR RELIEF We
have nov before US the appeal of the
board of County Commissioners, County
Relief Committee and Chairman of the
town boards of Supervisors, Of Rock
County, Minnesota, asking that those
more fortunate than the people of their
county, contribute food. clothing, fuel
and grain to relieve the desperate wants
of over seven hundred families now suf-
feripg the rigors of thecovere winter
without any means of helping them
selves, the drouth and grasshoppers of
last summer destroying their entire
crops and blasting every green thing in
their sourse A meeting Of our people
is suggested, that some organized effort
may be made to answer this stirring
appeal, starvation and death staring
these people in the face while our peo-
pie remain inactive in the enjoyment of
plenty.
