A very pleasant entertainment 10
honor of clerk Ned Sherman and bride
took place last on the steamer Andy
Baum. About fifteen or twenty
couples were present and to the sweet
strains of music tripped the light fan
tastic toe until the midnight hour. II
was a most social and pleasant gath
ering and every one departed for their
homes feeling that they had enjoyed
themselves, and wishing the young
married compile many years of happi-
ness and oontentment as they journey
down life's stream.
AT the ringing Of the midnight bell
tonight the year 1881 will be counted
among those of the past, and a new
year ushered in, which, let us hope,
will be one Of prosperity to this coun
try, especially to the farmer, who may
be counted as the pivot on which the
business ofthe entire community cen
tiers. The past year his crops have
proved a partial failure, hence the
dizziness which pervades the business
community. as well as marine circles,
Let us be thankful that the past has
not been any worse, and that the new
year may bring with it peace, happi-
ness and prosperity.

The New Corn Worm.

At the last meeting of the Rochester Society of National Sciences, P. o. Rey- holds, one of the editors of the Rural Home, read paper on the corn worm, which has made its appearance here this season. MT. Reynolds said: "The corn or boll-worm which has recently come among us, has attracted great deal of attention by the great works of devasta- tion it has wrought upon the corn crop during the past season. Its geographi- cal range is very extensive, comprising the countries of almost every climate. Java, Australia, the Isle of Wight, Europe and the United States have all suffered by its presence. The moth lays the eggs on the leaves of the corn, even as early as the month of May when the larve are matched their first work is to feed upon the leaves, con- suming them almost entirely in short time. In Southern climates the boil. worm has five broods during the year thus we can readily see how great a range of country they are able to devas- tate y

Mixing it up.

Colonel and Mrs. Solon were among the prominent guests at the social given by MT. and Mrs. Judge Jenks last week. Mrs. General Jobes, sister of Judge Jenks, and who returned from Paris only 8 month ago, was present. The natures of the colonel and the Mrs. General assimilated, and in each others conversation they whiled away the pleas ant evening hours. The madame repre-. sented the latest in Parisian art and the colonel outdid himself in his efforts to prove America was not in the least be- hind the capital of fashion.
 "How delightful this evening is," said the generals wife. sIn the Ian guage of dear Paris it is so au fait." 'Yes," said the colonel, Sit is, it is; in our dear American lingo, it takes the cake"
 "On dit Americans are so ready with my dear colonel,' said Mrs. Jobes, plimented her nation.
 The colonel promptly twisted bow sideways and replied: ''I tumble; c pluribus unum."
 ''Ah, in my dear French that means the same, I suppose, as tout ensemble?'
 q s'pose so," said the colonel; "a sort of rickshay way of parlay 700 Fran, shay" and he put his thumb in the sleeve of his vest, and put his head or one side as if he would say, q know what you're talking about.
 And thus the distinguished Mrs. Jobes and Colonel Solon enjoyed the company of each other until the party broke up Then MT. General Jobes bade him ''ar revoir," to which the colonel gallantlJ replied: ''So long,"

Trying to Get Money.

Of all the ways of getting men to give you money, that tried by Sir Gilbert Edward Campbell, an English baronet, seems to be about the meanest. He wanted small lone from a life insur- ance company which had issued an un- conditional policy to him. He there fore wrote to the company that if they did not come to his assistance he would put an end to himself forthwith, either by means of cold poison or lead, and then the company would not only be out of pocket so much. but they would also have the guilt of murder on their souls. Fancy the predicament of the gentlemen who received this letter. To give the money would be against the rules of the company which they served. Not to give it would entail a heavier loss, perhaps, on the same cor poration at @ moment when it could least be spared, while their own peace of mind would be utterly wrecked by the fearful knowledge that fallen be- ing had gone to an untimely grave when they could have prevented his going. The truth of the old proverb, that in the multitude of counselors there is wis dom, was again proven here. The managers consulted with the police and the lawyers, and the result was that Si1 Gilbert found himself before a magis- trate on charge of insanity, and al. though he himself admitted that he had made fool of himself, he was kept in durance vile as warning to other like minded, heartless wretches.

The Washington Monument.

The Washington monument is too near to be ever regarded by Washing ton people as anything out of the or dinary run of things. Few people here ever stop to think what feat of en- gineering has been undertaken in the construction of this monument. "There is nowhere in the world such mechanical appliances as we have in the monument" said Colonel Casey to .Star man. ''Fhe last course of stone laid weighed TO tons. Now this ITO tons was raised vertically distance of 245 feet, and the course was laid in fifteen hours. In other words, two feet of the monument was built in that time. You haven't any idea of the amount of stone and the amount of work required to build the monument. The stone we have laid since the work was resumed, if taken down and spread out, would cover the entire monument lot. At 8 distance the monument looks small the yard arms on the derricks look like broom splints; but when one gets nearer them and sees how large they are. how wide the structure is, he gets some notion of the work"
 If the monument was being construct ed in France, or some other European country, the name of the engineer would already be famous, and when his work was finished, if it was approved, he would receive fortune as his re- ward. It is doubtful whether the en. gineer connected with the Washington Monument will ever have any special recognition by the government. He will never receive any pecuniary recog. nit1on. An old engineer officer, speak ing of this matter, said: of Colonel Casey was not in the army, and had charge of one of the several works fo1 which he is now responsible, his salary would be $1O,00O or $l5,OOO year as it now is, he draws $3,OOO 8 year. The government pays too high figures for services rendered in inferior places, and much too little for professional ser vices. ."- Washington Star.
