OCTOBER 9th, 1870.
We have neyer-failing recipe for rain
over here; better than the prayers of pious
people or needy farmers. We have only to
advertise a home entertainment at the
Hall, and the tide comes on. Agreeably to
this well-tested rule the Heavens became
o'ercast ON Friday morn and gave Us a
steady sprinkle all day. Saturday was an
April visitation Of smiles and tears.
We have an agreeable acquisition to our
society, in the family of Mr.. VIM. Cleland,
recently removed to DIR. W. Owsley's man
sion on the Dix.
Mrs. DR. Pierce and Miss Pierce, Of Hou-
ma, La, are the guests Of Mr.. q. W. Dun
lap.
Mrs. :. +. II. Tarrant eomplimented Us
with an invitation to a Found Party, since
our last. This lady is noted for unvarying
courtesy to neighboring teachers.
The Bazaar and Supper given by the la
dies Of the Presbyterian congregation on
Friday evening at the Town Hall was pro-
nounced entertaining. The various stalls
for fruit, flowers, fancy work, &C., were d.
yided of in oriental tyle, and superinten-
ded by Young ladies, who beguiled custom
ers into plentiful contribution Of nickels.
The oyster table, under the management OF
Mrs. Sallie Wherritt, was quite popular.
Two Young ladies personated Gypsy for
tune-tellers and managed the cards well,
financially. Miss Kate Wherritt sang
"Auld Lang Syne' in costume. Miss Alice
Jones sang "Comin' thro' the Rye" attired
as Highland lassie. There were other
stage performances, among them Russian
wedding, with Miss Matte Hopper and
Master George Bradley as bride and groom,
and several other pairs Of little folks as at
pendants. Mr. 5. b. was officiating priest
"Woman's Rights" was acted in pantomime
In the fancy Bazaar handsome patch
work quilt was the chief attraction. The
profits Of the entertainment amounted Il
about fifty dollars, the necessary expendit'
ures being rather heavier than usual. Mrs
Dulaney Lackey was general directress
Quite company from Danyille came ~
to participate.
