18th anniversary of their marriage by invit-
ing their neighbors and the young people
generally to party at their hospitable resi-
dence. 1t was we'll attended and the even
ing passed off delightfully."-. Dancing was
heartily entered into by those who were fond
of tripping the light fantastic toe, and for
those who were not devotee8 of Terpsichore,
other amusements were provided. Bolivar
was handsomely represented by that Merchant
prince, Sam K. and Mr. L. who smiles
who were the heroes of an adventure to the
amount of a turn over and spill out" but
owing to rare presence of mind, escaped with
nothing more serious than few splashes of
mud, which chung to them lovingly. Dick
Nc. and Henry R., OF the Valley, got in at
the eleventh hour, but were never the less
welcome. Mr.. B., representing the Dry
Goods establishment Of J. J. B. was out in
his accustomed splendor bCavely supporting
that enormous mustache, and discussed
dispatch, the young Doctor from NJ. looked
the picture of happiness during that pro-
longed tete tete in the corner, without an
appeal to the Legislature for a change of

forth be known as Mr.. Quicker" as for

it to say, they gathered honors both in the
supper and dancing room. As might be ex-
pected, the ladies were charming Miss T.

admirers during the entire evening. Miss
f. II. added to. the entertainment of the
company by her elegant performance on the
Piano, and her pupils Misses Mary L.

skill as a teacher. At the mystic hour of
y we wendell our way into the dining room
where a supper both bountiful and elegant
was in waiting and soon the jingle of knife
and fork bore evidence the guests meant bust
ness, at this juncture your author exclaiming
Richard himself again "set to" with valor
unsurpassed until the inner man cried
enough, returning TO the dancing room, a

Mr.. EDIToR-Our little village is deck,
| ed in bridal robes OF snow and wood, more
wood is the order of the day. Winter in all
of It's chilIness has made its appearance al
last. Our little town was all stir on Sat
urday 31st of Dec. 1879, made so by the ar
rest of two desperadoes, John Kirk and
George Clark, who were tried before Esq
helms, and bound over to Court in the sum
of $4,000, and in default of bond they were
left in charge of two of our citizens to guard
until they could be sent to Jail tour bailifi
refusing to take them in custidy,) but night
with its friendly shadows came on and the
prisoners made their escape, and this is how
justice is vindicated in this community.
We learn that w. r. Hall, our worthy
Superintendent of Public Instruction, will
hold Teachers Institute in our District on
Saturday Feb. 21st 1880. We hope he will
be ofsome benefit in arousing the people to
a sense of duty as to the importance of main
taing good system of education and we
viii do all in our power to make it sue
cess. We would be pleased to have you
present. The Bulletin is growing in favor
in this section Of our country and hope l
will be able to send you another good list
Of subscribers soon. Success to you and
your valuable paper, THOMAS SHEA.
