We find the following account Of pleasant
party assembled in honor of a gentleman we'll
known and highly respected here, in the
Tunkhannock Standard Of last week:
On Saturday evening of last week between
thirty and forty of the friends of Hon. f. G.
Bunnell met at his residence as surprise
party, it being the anniversary of his birth.
1t is one of the essential elements of these
surprise parties that the "yctim" be kept in
blissful ignorance of the descent to be made
upon him and therefore, being entirely una
ware of the scheme of his neighbors and
friends. it so happened that Mr.. Bunnel
chanced to take that day to look after busi-
ness interests out of town. AS he expected
to return at 8 O'Clock p. m. no intimation was
given him of the party, it being considered
best to surprise him or his entering his
house. Owing to Il failure to catch the train
he did not come and therefore the guests had
| to give up all hope of seeing their expected
| host that night The company, however, had
come to enjoy themselves and in that respect
there was no failure. Mrs. Bunnell is well
known for her hospitality and every one was
made to feel perfectly at home. SO pleasant
! ly did the hours pass that it was well nigh
! Sunday before we had even thought Of
| breaking up. We then took our departure
feeling highly pleased with our evenings Wis
! it and hoping there were many more such
pleasing events in store for us and the kind
people whose residence was so freely opened.

The HELEN POTTER Pleaides were greeted
with a very fair audience Saturday evening,
quite number of whom came from Dushore.
Everybody was delighted and we knew they
would be. We can only reiterate what we
said of the performance when the company
were here before, it was grand. Miss POT-
TER is without question the cleverest imper-
senator and most perfect elocutonist now
before the public. The four young lady yio
IinistS produce the sweetest music ever heard,
and they were frequently encored. Mr.. Ma
CY, Miss ERNEST and Miss GREEN sustained
their parts il keeping with the other mem
bers of this unrivaled company.
While all present enjoyed themselves so
fully at the entertainment, every one did not
know how much they were indebted to Mr..
c. E. SCOTT for his untiring efforts in secur-
ing a return of the Plcaides.

A letter form Fred. Douglass is printed i'll
a Western paper, in which he says he is al
together too modest in his estimate of his
ability to aspire to Il place in General Gar
fields Cabinet, and continues:
There are five dangers to which colored
men are Just now liable and require wisdom
to avoid:
/. The asking too little, thereat showing
undue selfdepreciation.
3 The asking too much, and thereby Gre
atng disgust and consequent disinclination
to grant anything.
3. The asking TOO soon, showing undue
haste, 'overstepping the modesty of nature" "
4. Asking too late when the ''slate" is al
ready made up and nothing remains to be
asked for or given.
5. The asking in an improper way, such as
vehemently demanding something whose
value really is in the spontaneity with which
it is given.
The colored people Of this country want
Office not as the price of their votes and party
support, but for their recognition as part of
the American people, and as a means of re-
moving the popular prejudice and low stua-
ton in which they have been held. For one
have no advice to give. General Garfield
certainly knows in advance of being asked.
He knows the public men of his country,
and he may safely be trusted to select those
best qualified to assist him in the admins
tratiOn OF the government.

1 Boys Work.

Ever since Il year ago last August a Nor
wich ct boy, then twelve years old, named
William b. Brigden, has been engaged i'll
writing and illustrating with his own draw
ings, q history of the United States. He has
now completed thirteen chapters OF his work
which embrace an account of the early dis
coveries and settlements of America from
the traditional voyages of explorers 600 years
before Christ down to Raleigh's settlement
in North Carolina i'll 1887. The work con-
sists of 252 pages, very plainly written with
a pen, the lines being of equal lengh, and the
pages OF uniform size, well figured, and
having running titles. At the bottom of the
pages, when necessary, are handsomely
written foot notes, end a topical index for
reference adorns the wide margin. So close
is the pen work in its imitation of print that
even the italicized clauses are readily dis
tinguishable from the text, and the quota
tiOns are given in a smaller hand and more
compact mass to represent the style teclmi-
cally known as solid" by bookmakers There
are at least 125,000 words in the composition,
and 144 illustrations add to the beauty of
the work. These drawings represent ancient
ruins, implements, weapons, vessels, historic
scenes, marine views, NEUROLOGICAL represen-
tations, battle sketches, Il dozen portraits of
famous adventures, and as many well drawn
maps. Nearly one-half the pictures are the
authors own; the rest are copied from 4
dozen different books to which he gives credit

Cold Snaps.

The late cold snap has brought up remin-
iscences of the phenomenally cold winter of
1850, during which one snow storm fol-
lowed another, until the ground got so deep
ly covered that pedestrianism, OF travel of
any sort, became well-nigh impossible. Wild
turkeys froze to death, domestic fowls died
on their roost, deer and buffalo sought shell
ter in civilized quarters, and innumerable
wild animals perished III the forest, which
was almost buried in q shrowd of snow. The
rivers north and west were ice-bOund, and
even as far south as Nashville the Cumber-
land was frozen with ice three feet thick.
The winters of 1773 "a, s5, 98, '92, '96, and
'99 were all phenomenally severe. From
December 1888 until March, 1889, the Dele
ware and Ohio rivers were both frozen and
navigation suspended. In 1892 snow fell
two feet deep in Ohio and the river was 50
firmly frozen that mounted troops and artil-
lery wagons rode across by the hundred.
Cold Friday" still forms subject for
many q grandsires tale OF terrible winter
weather. On Friday, February 7, 1907, the
day opened mild. Rain fell, changing to
snow, and followed by trigid wave of un-
eXampled severity, and accompanied by q
high wind which changed to hurricane.
The frozen trees were broken by the dozen,
each as it fell giving forth q report like
that of a cannon The whole land was ice
bound; traffic was stopped and outdoor
work of every sort suspended. Many troze
to death in their beds, while the mortality
among wild and domestic animals was equal
to the ravaging of a plagne.-Chicago Times.
