Somebody got hold OF the fact that
last Monday evening was the 10th an-
niversary Of the marriage OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Horace Dennis, who reside on
Hartland Hill. 1t must be woman,
for the news spread rapidly, and about
1875 persons assembled at their rosi-
dencc, spent = pleasant evening, and
lett behind them the best Of feelings
and some $50 in money and goods.
A wag excited the company during
the evening by calling them out to
see an eclipse Of the;moon. He-ly.cd,
Of course, but all enjoyed the joke.
HARD TO BEAT.-Gec. Chedel, Esq,

item or two Tor this column, and had
pretty good line OF thought, when

street, and ,ished out to learn where
it was, as hundreds of Others did.
The stream OF folks seemed to be
flowing rapidly down Elm street.
Pretty soon it was reversed and flowed
back leisurely. We asked a chap
where the fire was, and he drawled
out, mo fire at all-the smoke-stack
in Standish's ,aunery burning out
that's ALL"
This column is the most read and
most abused of any in the paper.
Many buy the paper, read it and
laugh. Others steal the paper, read
it and get mad and VOW they will
never look at it again, and continue to
break the eighth commandment as be-
fore. Buy it, then you can get mad
or laugh just as it happens to strike
you, and it won't trouble us one bit,
besides, your chance Of heaven will
be better.
Our democratic friend, Benjamin
Hathorn, OF South Woodst took, always
remembers the printer in season. This
week he brought to our office a bushel
Of the incest pears that ever grew. for
which he has our thanks and the
thanks of those with whom we "divid-

The walking mania has struck this
burgh with terrible force. Every boy
and man is con it, and we fear the
ladies will catch the infection.
The oldest inhabitant never saw
nicer weather than this IN October.
Warm and dry, thermometers rang
ing from 10 to 80 degrees in the
shade in the middle of the day.

Those "amsteur peds" who can
spin around the PAX or the Fair
Ground track nights and Sundays at
a 2.4O gait, when asked by mother,
wife, sister or aunt, TO bring in an arm
full OF wood or get pail Of water,
move-if they move at alias if they
had been afflicted with rheumatism in
every joint from childhood.
