Birth Day Party.

FlaxeB-haired, sun.shiny little Nettie
Wheeler, whom everybody loves for her in
noeence of heart and sweet manners, was
Just eleven years old last Thursday. In the
evening of her birth day, the eleventh anniver-
sary Of exquisite joy to her parents hearts,
was celebrated by party. Nettie's popular
i,y with all the little misses Of her age gath
cred together bevy Of sweet little girls and
nice little boys, who came TO do honor TO
their ehildhood's companion.
The party was in the Wheeler House par.
lot. and Q pretty scene il was--happy girls,
dressed IN white, each bearing n present To
Nettie in honor Of the festival. Many, as was
very proper, chose flowers as a remembrance,
and one card on delicate boquet of fragrant
blossoms bore the wish that Nettie's life
might be the blossoming, the maturing OF
her own pure, fragrant, dew-drop self. Ev.
erybody knows Nettie, for she is always sing.
ing merrily and talking sweetly, unsteady
around the hotel parlors. Many saddened
travelling. man, away from home and friends,
hashad the eHaui oflonelness happily chased
away by the innocent prattling Of golden.
haired, light-hearted Nettie.
At an early hour the little people, prompted
by WEAKNESS Of dancing. put on their wraps,
and again wishing Nettie ''many happy re.
turns" sought their homes, where mammas,
tender aud fond, hopeful and prayerfnl, tucked
their darlings in their eouehes aud closed
their eyes with those kisses we all remember,
alas, some only to sigh for!
With her companions we, too, wish her
many happy returns; and may God preserve
her in that purity and innocence redolent Of
spirituality and heavenly grace, so praised
by scripture and so fascinating to man, from
the stormy blasts Of worldly temptations.

The tenth annual fair Of this society
commences on the Both Of September aud
continues four days. 1t is difficult to es-
innate 10 dollars and cents tho great bcne-
it which has accrued to our county from
these annual exhibitions, yet all win adj
nit that Carroll has made rapid advances
IN agriculture since the organization Of
the society. Our horses, cattle and hogs
are equal to any ia Maryland; our farm
buildings, residences, barns and other
houses, are in superior condition, while our
agricul,urists use the latest improvements
in all machinery necessary for the cultiva-
ton Of the soil In the matter Of crops
spirit Of emulation has arisen 10 such an
extent that Carroll has national reputa-
ton. What caused this2 Was it from
natural cause or was it from the fact that
on going to the exhibition they found that
some neighbor or friend had placed there
some product of his farm, to which
che judges had awarded premium, that
he felt nc could and would excel at

readers will say i was from the latter cause.

pleasant valley Festival.

The festival held Of this place last week
was certainly grand success, and Judging
from the many pleasant faces we saw, every
person enjoyed themselves, especially some
Of our young ladies, who we're chatting so
pleasantly with some Of the young men that
they had almost forgotten that they were con.
necied with the festival at all. We will have
to excuse them for this time, this being the
first ever held in this place. They certainly
all deserve n great deal Of credit for what
they have done. We never before have been
to festival where SO much interest was taken;
even strangers, not in any way connected,
were anxious to make it a success. We Ger.
tainly feel very thankful to al for their liberal
patronage, and especially to the ladies, who
contributed so handsomely with cakes. The
Mayberry String Band euliyened the occasion
on Friday and Saturday evenings, and Satnr.
day afternoon the Silver Run Brass Band
favored MS with some Of its choicest airs.
The whole was very nicely conducted under
the management Of Milton SENT, Esq,
Who deserves D great deal Of credit IN the
decorating Of The room, which was very hand
somely done, and also in arranging the tables
and assisting the ladies' ia starring. We had
full attendance each night, with the excep,
tion OF Saturday night, when the room was
filled, and there were more outside than In.
The net proceeds were about $40. ID.
