particular, and was participated in by a'large
number OF both young and old. The little
children of five and the grand parents OF
sixty years, and those of intermediate ages,
were present, and every one seemed to en-
ter into the pleasures of the occasion with
lively interest, and nothing occurred during
the evening to mar the pleasure of any one.
The table. was spread about O'Clock, and
was laden with an abundance Of delicacies
OF. every description. The election for the
prettiest and most popular young ladies
present resulted in favor of Miss Stark Bel
fotte for popularity and Miss Maggie Evans
for beauty. The Evans Cornet Band was
present and added much to the pleasures
of the evening. The party broke up about
1O1 o'clock, everybody being highly pleased
with the evening entertainment,
