EDS. HERALD:
A few evenings since Miss Eva Creath,
a very estimable lady of this place, enter
tanned her young friends on the occasion
of her 18th anniversary. At the appointed
hour, the merry company repaired to the
dining-roOm, to partake of the lux uries
prepared for the occasion, which were
said to have been exceedingly enjoyable
While the company were at supper pre-
parations were being made for exercises
in elocution, by some unbaptised scoun-
drels, who carried hive of bees into the
hall and dumped them on the floor. Af-
ter supper, as the company returned to
the parlor through the hall, which was
not very brilliantly lighted, the buzzing
of bees was first heard, when general
stampede occurred; and here the scene is
beyond description, but those who wit
messed both, declare that Prof. Seharf's
neutrality-suspicious. in jesticulation,
while describing the man 'swith nothing
between the mouse and the maT''-was
simply tame, compared to the didoes of a
| company of ladies with nothing between
/ the bees and the ladies.
On Monday last a aconadencemanaealled
on Major Pool, a stranger who recently
moved to this place, and by awelI-ar-
ranged system of iesmatle the Major be-
lieve himself to be the Majors uncle, ,and
succeeded in borrowing a fine strawberry
roam five-year-old horse of the Major, to
ride to Adams county, to. returns on Sat
urday. The Major, having no. saddle
borrowed one from Ad. Kerr. for uncle
The fellow offered the horse for sale a
Washington and. has probably sold him
to some of oilr farmers before getting ou
of the county. -
Several of our wood-choppers have
splittheir feet with the ak.
Several fellows got beat at the election
one fellow got his eye-teeth kicked ou
by mule, and we have had lots of, othel
fun this week, but can not tell all at once
P..S.-Since writing the above, learl
that Major Pool found his horse at Sabina
his uncle having sold the horse there an,

beauty and magnitude of this immense
stock of goods by seeing it for themselves.
They are fully alive to the fact that goods
must be sold at low prices to command
the attention of cash buyers; and having
determined to sell goods for cash only, will
always be found at the very. bottom in
prices. They ask persons desiring to pur-
chase Spring goods to give their stock a
careful examination, and thereby consult
their own interest.
