A most sumptuous Christmas dinner was
enjoyed OH the 25th ultimo by the boarders
of the Waverly House, together with few
special friends of the proprietor, Capt T. P.
Benson, among whom one Of the represen-
tatives of this paper had the good fortune to
be classed. We would not attempt to emu
merate the many delicious edibles with
which the tables were ladened-that would
be almost an impossibility let it suffice
to say that everything calculated to tempt
land satisfy the appetite of a hungry prin-
ter was spread before US, and you may rest
satisfied that we did the subject justice. AT.
ter dinner was over we were furnished with
cigars, and the party gathered in the sitting
room of the hotel and spent several hours
in pleasant and social conversation, and
wondered if we would ever again want
anything more to cat. We advise all trav-
elers who come this way to stop at the
Waverly House.
