AN ENJOYABLE EvEN1NG.-The
meeting Thursday evening of the
Orion Literary Society was made an
unusually agreeable occasion by Capt.
Nelson Bealls hospitable family,
at whose residence the Society met.
A number of additional ladies and
gentlemen having been invited the
usual routine was dispensed with and
the assemblage given license to enjoy

dance began and went on until near
twelve when the party was summoned
to an alegant repast which was dis
posed of in a manner BETTING gener-
al relish for the good things. The
writer hereof occupied a seat at an
impromptu table with small party
who exchanged cards for sandwiches
with an alacrity and sincerity quite
ereditable to our enthusiasm Each
made all the points until there WASH t
a sandwich left, or plate of ice cream
to be seen. We did our whole duty
with abundant opportunity, however,
to do more
After the repast dancing and
other amusements were renewed and
kept up until about two clock when
the party dispersed. The occasion
was in every way enjoyable, the cordi-
atty and kindness of each member of
the household contributing altogether
to- that object. Among the ladies
Miss Edith Taylor of Indiana, Miss
Carrie Welsh of South Carolina and
Miss Ella Slicer of Cumberland, guests
of Capt. Beall, deserve special men
ton for the interest loaned the occasion
by their presence and participation.
Our own ladies of course, are olaUoys
to be relied upon for adding brilliancy
to our parties.

evening, involving Henry Jones and
Robert Carter also-all colcred. Den
