A gentleman from Pennsylvania has
recently concluded te erect a match fac

he will be quite an acquisition. VIM
Witter no sooner heard Of the strangers
business in town than he started to hunt
him up, intent on donating a lot on
which to locate the factory-an offer
that was quickly made and accepted,
the factory to he completedland in opera
ton by the first Of June next. Any one
wishing to engage in business, and who
will put up an ordinary, respectable
business house, can in the same way

spirit that has brought our town into

Henry Brown one of natures noble

The ANNUAL BANQUET AND Co.
TrLLIoN PARTY, given by the City
Hall Association last week Monday
evening, the fourth anniversary Of
the dedication of the hall, was proba-
bly, the most notable event Of the
kind in the history Of our town. In
spite OF the disagreeable weather and
terrible condition of the roads, some
fifty couples were in attendance, who
seemel to join unanimously in the
opinion that the affair was success
in every particular. The fine large
hall Of the Association was in admir-
able condition ;the music by theNorth.
western Band, of Clinton, was most
excellent; and the supper provided
for the guests at the Fleming House
was simply superb.
SO much taste and skill had been
so evidently expended on the toilets
of the ladies', and with such good re-
suits, that we felt called upon to
commemorate the occasion by some
especial notice thereof. A moments
contemplation, however, satisfied US
that the subject was beyond our ken,
and it was therefore appealed to an
observAnt lady friend, who hands US
the following brief inventory Of dry
goods:
Among the many varied and ele-
giant costumes we do not pretend to
make choice, but merely mention a
few which struck us as particularly
pleasing: Mrs. G. S. Fleming, gar
net satin with white tulle over dress;
Miss Nettie Pistt, lavender silk with
tulle over dress; Miss Annie Shaw,
dark blue silk dress with black lace
Mrs. Ella Ferguson and sister, Miss
Culbertson, both appeared in crimson
gros grain under black lace; MIS-. 7.
H. Mink, Of Clarence, white poplin,
scarlet geraniums; Miss Matte Piatt,
crimson silk with black lace; Miss
Jessie Taylor, navy-blue dress with
! light blue sash and ribbons; Mrs.
Fred Hecht, of. Clarence, ashes-o
roses colored dress trimmed with
dark brown, cardinal red roses for or
naments; Miss Hammond, brown silk
with pink silk bodice and pink flow
ers; Mrs. A. P. Fleming, drab peplin,
white lace hchu; Mrs. DIR. Maynard,
green and black striped silk trimmed
with black gros grain.

| And merrily ever through our veins
The generous pulses bound.
H.
And let us drink to the dear old year
Who SO lately passed away.
How he shivered and moaned
In the cold dark night
Wrapped in his mantle gray.
Within these walls during his reign
How Freedoms deep toned Tyre
Rang out, as brave Fitzpatrick spake
In words of martial fire.
So well the soldier told the tale,
So well the picture drew,
We seemed to hear the drums low beat
And see our "boys in blue;"
And in our fancy far away
In bygcne days to be
Marching along midst our gallant men
With Sherman to the sea.
OFT may the echo in these walls
Wake to such noble speech,
And Liberty, enthroned here,
Our children's children teach.
Oh, grendest of all the years Of time,
What gift TO thee shall bring?
Before thy gracious majesty
My muse scarce dares to sing.
Oh, century Of noblest work,
Rich with heroic deeds,
Little the wreath upon thy brow
This humble blossom needs.
oh, eighteen seventysix, We hail
Thy coming through glad tears
Upon our country's flag, the sun
Has shone hundred years.
And through each deep heart beat Of time,
Through ages yet to be,
God grant her starry folds may wave
Proudly DER land and sea.
The marble column, marked with names
That glorify our town,
Shows how we answered when they stroye
| To pull that banner down.
Once let their names, our hero sons,
Be murmured soft and low
Ere from our yearly gathering here
Back to the world we go.
Long may this night we celebrate
A time Of Joy remain,
Until within Gods heavenly halls
We al shall meet again.

NARROW EsCAPE.-Some time dur
ing Wednesday night Of last week
DR.. Rigg noticed an unusual light
from his rooms over the drug store,
and looking out found the steam mill
fairly illuminated by bright glare
evidently from the east. Running
down his back stairs he discovered .
brilliant blaze in the rear of Fleming
& Van Ness furniture store, which
shining through the glass door and
window produced the effect he had
noticed. Carefully looking the dan
ger over, DIR. r. concluded there was
not need to break in, and SO ran
across the street and ,lled up A. p
Fleming, who dressed aud came with
the key just as the DR.. reached the
front door with couple of pals o
water. The two quietly went in
closed the door, and proceeded te
put out the FIRE, which was really I'M
der good Roadway, lighting the street
in front and the premises in the rear
with perfect glare.
The FIRE was found to have origi.
mated in q defective hue, which
allowed burning SCOT to drop right
through its bottom on the top Of the
door casing, which was entirely
burned off at the corner. The escape
was narrow one, not only for Messrs
F. 4 w., but also for that entire row
For although the night was = still
one, las indeed we may expect at an,
time, a fire any where along that row
will stand ten chances out Of nine o
carrying off the whole thing
least as far down as Fields.

MONEY ORpERs.-DurinS the year
1875 there were, rs we are informed
by Postmaster Shaw, 1855 money
orders issued from the Upton office,
the aggregate amount of money
called for by them being no less than
t33, 1921. The fees for issuance of
same were $26..s5. The amount Of
business thus indicated is, as is usual
with Upton enterprises, very large for
the size Of our town. Cedar Rapids, in
the SINE year, only issued thirty
nine thousand dollars worth Of or
ders; and the total number issued
here since the system was inaugu-
rated, over sixteen thousan !, is nearl y
as great as that at the average city
of three to six thousand inhabitants.
