One of the most pleas
ant surprise parties of the season came off
on Thursday last at the residence of Wea-
yer Barns, Esq, four and one half miles
versary Of his birth, and the close of the
65th year of his wife's. The old gentle
man was entieed away by a neighbor, in
the morning, to 60 and buy Sheppard was
kept away until IL o'clock, at which time
be returned to find his house and grounds
in the possession of over 200 relatives and
friends. He was very much surprised in
fact was scared, thinking death or some
other great calamity had befallen his fam
lily during his absence; but being assured
that all was right and the intentions of the
crowd were peacable, he took in the
nature of the visit, and at once entered
into the spirit of it,
AT least two hundred persons pertook. of
the bountiful and elegant dinner spread up
on the tables by the relatives and friends.
Such feast of good things has never
| been laid out in Perry county. AS an item,
we will state, that thirty-six pound cakes
were on the tables and when all had dined
to repletion, there was enough left to have
dined one hundred persons OF more. AT
ter dinner an address appropriate to the
occasion was delivered by Rev. w. 81.

Dixon with appropriate remarks. After
which Mr. Barns with much feeling and
emotion returned his thanks to the assem-
bly, for the great and pleasant surprise they
had given him, and the honor he felt was
conferred upon him by their visit. A
hymn was sung and the proper ceremo.
nial proceedings of the day were closed by
prayer offered by Elder S. Whitmer. II
is needless perhaps to say that there wal
lots of fun and frolic made and enjoyed by
the crowd-( Ben Whitmer was therel and

From every quarter we hear of fam
lilies crying for bread, mechanics and
laboring men for work and the debtor
class for mercy. Thousands of fami-
lies are at the mercy of their creditors,
and still they will allow themselves to
be driven to the polls and vote for a
continuation of the cause Of their
trouble. Laboring men, for your fam
lilies sake, for the sake..o ..of starving women
and children cast your ballot for the
National ticket. Ifyou have the neces-
saries of life, think of the tens of thou
sands of innocent children that are suf
fering from hunger and the distressed
mothers that are praying to God tc
send the messenger of death to relieve
them of their suffering. Look at youl
own home aud imagine it in that con
dition and then you will appreciate the
condition of your fellow man. 1t is {

to God for justice to vote either th'

A young man from Henry county, by
the name of Jas. Milroy. came to the city
to-day to purchase his winter stock of
clothing. Before making his purchases,
however, he saw friend or two and talked
of times past over several glasses of Rock
Island whiskey, becoming very sociRble.
In this condition he went into Simon &
Mosenfeldter's store, under the Rock Isl
and House, and! examined some shirts,
getting prices on the same ($2 SOY and
offering a sum considerable less than the
price asked. After remaining there some
time he passed out, without buying, and
went into the shoe store few doors west.
Presently Mr.. Simon discovered that a
shirt was missing from his stock and went
in search of the fellow who had been look
ing at them, finding him in the shoe store
with the missing shirt under his overcoat.
Mr., Simon took the shirt and accused Mil
roy of stealing it, which he denied. claim
ing to have paid for it, and took out his
money saying he would pay for it again,
The clothing dealer refused to accept the
money and caused Milroy's arrest, He
had hearing before Justice Halves and
was bound over to the circuit court in the
sum of 5000, failing to furnish which he
went TO Jail.
