sURPRsED,-On Saturday, the I'd inst, our old
Democratic frieni, Benjamin Harmony, an old
resident OF Marlboro township, was suddenly
Etruck-not with the heat-but with surprise
From rs to 100 Of his relatives, friends and
neighbors assembled at his residence, put their
horses in the barn and hid their buggies iu the
woods near by Mr.. Harmony was at work in
his hay field and upon his return to his house for
dinner, could not imagine what was up. In fact
he did not know whether circus or a band Of
gypsles had taken possession OF his house and
barn. His anxiety to learn the cause Of this un.
usual Commotion was soon dispelled by his many
friends informing him that they had come to
celebrate his 9Th birthday, and that they were
bound to do 1t up In style Right faithfully did
they keep their promise. A sumptuous banquet
was spread and ample justice was done to the
feast OF good things. Mr.. Harmony was present
ed with an easy rocking chair and various other
valuable and appropriate presents. 1t was In
deed pleasant gathering, long to be remember.
ed. May he live to see many happy returns Of
the day, was the wish Of all present and in which
we heartily join.
