 ANON. LakevlIIe.
 It seldom happens that Lakeville witnesses more pleasant and brilliant assemblage than that of Friday evening last, at the residence of Hon. A. H. Holley, to meet Governor and Mrs. Bigelow, who were spending 8 couple of days with Colonel Ruld, of the Governors staff. The spacious house was tastefully dec. orated with ferns and choice flowers, while the grounds were brightly lighted by large reflector lanterns. During the evening the village band discoursed sweet music on | the lawn, while within the scene was one of un- usual beauty and animation. Among the large number present were many strangers to Lakeville, but from the exclamations of pleas- ure and surprise which were heard on every side regarding the natural beauty and attract iyeness of the place, it is safe to predict that they will not long remain strangers.
