Breakcs.n and the 'Intelligence Office.
The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by the
whole party, and several ludicrous Incl.
dents which transpired during the cxcur-
sion will serve to keep fresh in thememo-
ry of all for some time TO come.-Ihe tram
on which the troupe took passage was IN
charge of that prince of good fellows, Dan.
Barstow, and he was forced to admit that
he never in his fifteen years experience
had mcrrier party under his carc-from
the time the train left Morris until II ar
rived at Benson, the passengers were treat
cd to Jokes and sohgs-the former being
better than the latter-for the simple rea'
son that every one appeared to be singing
different ture-The evenings entertain
ment, if we Judge from the liberal sp-
plause and complimentary remarks; gave
general satisfaction, to large and very
intelligent audience. After the perform
| ance the whole party and few invited
guests, returned to the hotel, and enjoyed
| dancing. After the ladies had retired the
gentlemen concluded to chip in" and
have an oyster supper, they accordingly
procured the oysters, and one OF the party
served them in most palatable style.
/ The next morning the ladies thinking that
they had been sighted, determined to have
revenge-and an oyster supper, all to
themselves, they forthwith procured
the oysters etc, and at 3, p, IN. lunch
was spread, but upon reflection they deter
mined to make their revenge complete
and accordingly, generously extended al
invitation to the whole party. 1t is un
necessary to say that the concience ftrick
ell male portion of the party-acceptet
tie invitation in the same generous spiri
in which it was offered. We must sa!
however that one 'incorrigible" wa
heard to say, That he was glad they dit
not invite the aides for if they had-the..
would of had ut the one supper! Tn
return trip Was even more thoroughly ell
ioyahe than the down trip, all seeming
determined to be as Light hearted and gay
as possible, for the short time that the
were to he togethcr, and the car ran
with peAIs of merry laughter. In closin
MS article we must udd-that all are III
or Obligations to t.lc gentlemanly an
eous landIord-Mr. V. II Topping
