it was only matter of time when all

 The ladies of the M. E. society gave an oyster supper Thursday evening, Jan. 2oth, at the residence of Mrs. John Pulver. The proceeds ($28.o were applied to the sal ary of Rev. R. Hunt. A small but agreea- able company enjoyed a very pleasant evening. The supper was excellent, the tables being heavily loaded with edibles. They had their usual ice cream, candy aud fruit tables, and last, but by no means con- sidered the least, the grab bag, which ere ated considerable laughter. The party was very pleasantly entertained by recitations from Miss Fannie Ferris, Louise McNeil and Katie Heaton, which were met with hearty applause, and were greatly enjoyed. There were several of the members absent whose help was much needed. Among the absent ones were MT. and Mrs. Jesse Stan ton. but they left good lot of provisions and their pocket book, which atoned for their loss to certain extent, but their pres- ence would have added to the pleasures of the evening.

 MIR. EDITOR; The correspondent, L. P. H., of the Amenia IEnaes caused the whole ] neighborhood to shake with fear by his re. 1 mark in his communication of last week. that all who live in glass houses must be careful how they throw stones, 'etc. People who had heretofore thought themselves SC. cure in their homes no longer regard thls village safe for them, as they are so con. stantIy liable to suffer by the fearful wrath of the terrible l.. F. H. He says further that he has been abused for speak. ing the truth O 8 remark as startling as the glass house threat. Who ever knew l.. P. H. to speak the truth anyway2 If he eyer knew the definition to the word truth he never was known to profit by his knowl. edge, by making any use of it; and now he IS going to make new departure and speak the truth! Hear what he says:
 All men occupying public position must expect to have their public acts crfli- clsed, and there is no critic SO unwecome as one who has strong penchant for tell ing things just as they are. For my own
 
 reason, but from this time he1ceforth l shall not forbear to mention names, and if anything that is worthy of being published comes under my observation, be it good or bad, the perpetrator shall have the full ben eht ot lt-therefore you who live in glass houses be careful how you throw stones through your neigh bors' windows.
 After perusal of the above, MT. Editor, do you blame us for trembling with fear at the power behind the throne.' We have heard how the boy loaded his gun with beans and shot at target on an old build ing, and how the beans lodged back and struck him in the face, stinging him severe ly, after making scarcely a perceptlble mark on the old house. Some of us take to ourselves much comfort in the knowl. edge that L. P. HIS charge of truth will resemble the charge of beans in its retro grade movement. One word about the chap who was 'horsewhipped for telling the truth, and it cured him. Somebody says, won't say it is true, because it is presumed nobody in Millerton speaks the truth but the renowned Little Pukes Han dy,' but the report has been generally cir. | culated in Millerton, and was believed to be true. Somebody says, as we started to say. l.. P. H. was once broomsticked out doors l for getting drunk, and it didn't cure him either: Now then; with these two facts before us, it is plain the horsewhipping remedy is the most effective, and we cor dially recommend it for l.. P. H., taken two or three times day, with intermediate doses of number eleven boots administered in the stern. l.. P. H. would improve rap- idly under thls treatment, and we being a generous people, he will stand chance of gettinga full measure of thls remedy in ex- change for his supply of truth, which he proposes to glve us.
