Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1881-04-28

vlteu guekt, cah truly say the occa-
sion was one long to be remembered
by the many friends of the family pres
ent. Rev. Benz. Reeve ofiiciated, and
the whole affair passed off in a yer quiet
way. The dinner was all the most
skeptical epicure could wish. We pre-
dict for Lizzie life of happiness, and
as for James, he is q nice young man;
one worthy of the trust confided in him
by the fond parents of the bride, and
if blessed with health, we hope to see
them prosper in the future, and we
wish them God-speed.

Editor AUdldnche:-Allow me a lit
tie space in your valuable paper in or

ence in high life in the village of Pere
Cheney. Not belonging to the long
vessage, or having sonorous voice,
we sometimes indulge in terpsichorean
p,easurers, and having ticket placed
in our hands to attend party at the
Hutt House on the 18th inst, we got
our selves in readiness and i'm due sea-
son we found ourselves there with our
expectations very high, having attend

and our anticipations fully realized in
reference to good time for all, but
am sorry to say the first thing we met
on entering the house was a drunken
landlord, and upon making the ac-
quaintance of the landlady we found
her TO drunk to be civil, too; but not
being easily blutfed off, we made up
our minds we could stand it, if any
body could, but we got more than we
bargained for.
While they were eating their six
o'clock supper, there was a noise heard
in the kitchen, and young lady ran
out of her room in time to see the
landlady fall 10 the floor from receiv-
ing blow from the fist of her drunk
ell husband, which opened the ball
for the night. Later in the evening
people coming in were allowed to wait
upon themselves, the landlady being
engaged in the back room where she
presided over a jug of tangle-leg, which
seemed to be the fountain of youth to
her and her husband; however, we
went to the ball room, but in conse-
quence of bad roads there were but

til larger crowd collected, we again
went to the barroom where we found
the landlord cursing and insulting
those who did not feel inclined te en-

the house for an hour or so to recruit
our muscle, and be ready for battle if
our number was called.

room and soon had a supper in readi
ness that many better houses might
boast of. AS there was no way OF
reaching home before morning, we
made up our minds to make night OF
it, but as morning approached the
house became drunker, consequently
they turned the guests into the street
to look elsewhere for breakfast.
