TUNNELToN, December 90, 1870.
Editor Argus.
Extensive Preparations are being made
tor Christmas tree on Christmas eve.
The journal" of last Issue IN making
mention OF Ashby's death, saiC; she got
into difficulty at the dance, and left the
house at about IL O'Clock at night, to go
over the tunnel" Now, this Is altogether
a mistake. Mr.. Ashby did not get into
any difficulty at the dance. Mr.. Aehby
came to the dance and PLAYED the violin
for several "sets," after which he began to
sing songs that were not altogether becom-
Ing in ladies' society. Some OF the gentle
men present went to him and told him
that the ladies objected to such songs, and
asked him if ae woulnn't leave the dance.
Mr. Ashby very readily consented to 90
and said that he didn't mean to insult or
offend any OF the ladies present. We
merely make mention of the above 10 jus
iice 10 parties Who were present at the
dance. We know that Mr.. Dawson will
willingly correct the above and exonorate
all concerned, 90 we have no doubt but
what it was told to him by some credu-
lous person or persons.

gle-handed, not knowing the depth of

he being an old war veteran But If eyer
we were laboring under a mistake 1t was
when we met and formed the lcquaint-
ance of the gentlemanly Doc Hanway,
the genial HarsY McCafferty, and the
big hearted Marsh Taylor. We toun d
them to be all jolly, jovial and genial
good fellows. They left nothing undone
TO make our stay in Fellowsville a pleas
ant one. While there we were surprised
TO see the amount of business that wac be-
ing transacted by Mr. Hanway. He sure.

didn't fail TO amuse us with his tricky
horse. He has the animal trained equal
to one of old Dan Rices circus horses.
