LANDGRovE.
At the Farmers and Mechanics hall, in
this place, benefit is to be given on the
evening of Washington's birthday, Feb. 20.
Every needful arrangement is being made
for general good time and everything en-
joyable will be in order. A large party of
respectable oysters will be in attendance,
and 1t is expected that an introduction to
them will be among the "helps to happi-
ness" We hear rumors of "fish ponds,"
pound sales" "guesspoles," "art CALLER
les, "tabeaux," "charades," music, etc.,
and so we anticipate about all the merri-
ment that can be crowded into one evening.
Beside the oyster supper (Which will be
such as only Landgrove cookists can get
up,) ice cream and candy will be served.
A cordial invitation is extended to all.
Westonians, Peruvians and Derryites
please take notice.
