The fair citizens of Clarksburg are
determined to make use of their leap year
privileges, ana they evidently don't pro-
pose any half way doings either. From
the Neps we learn that on Monday even
ing of this week, a leap year party was
given by the young ladies of Clarksburg,
at the residence OF Judge Maxwell.
A good supper was served, and
the time was employees promn-
aiding and in conversation. The ladies
did their dnty as escorts bravely. The
gentlemen dressed and waited at their
homes, and the ladies called fer them
with AN omnibus and saw them safely TO
the party. The ladies of Clarksburg are
determined 20 make leap year an enJoya-
bic one, and too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon them. Social enjoyment
/, the spice of lie and should not be neg
lecici.
