young folks of this community. 1t was
the occasion of party given in honor of
Mr.. Charles Kidd, by the young men OF

90 in body, the residence of Mr.. Haight,
who lives near Mr.. Kidd, was chosen as
general rendezvous. By eight o'clock
about a dozen carriages and buggies had
arrived at the place. of meeting. The
march was then taken up, and in due time
the party arrived at Its destination. Mr..
Kidd and his estimable lady have long Gu
loved reputation for hospitality, and
they certainly did not detract from it on
this occasion. All were made at once to
feel at home, and entered Immediately into
the enjoyment of the occa sion. After two
or three hours amusement, IT was proposed
that refreshments be served, and inasmuch
as it was the gentlemen's party, the young
ladies suggested that the general order OF
things be changed, and that the Young men

and Everett Durand were chosen to super
intend the refreshments, which consisted of
an abundance of cake, baked by the young
ladies, together with candies. apples,
nuts, ETC., furnished by the Young men. We

with a beautiful album containing the
photographs of the members of his class.
He was taken completely by surprise, but
recovered sufficiently to respond in few
well-timed remarks, thanking the class for
their present and for the regard they had
! for him. These ceremonies over, the party
dispersed, each one feeling that it had
been an Occasioo long to be remembered
and wishing that they might, in the near

In going home some one undertook to pass
another in the road, and the result was Il
general race, during which George Sheble
lost wheel from his buggy, a circumstance
which landed its occupants on terra

that they were pretty we'll shaken up, and
covered with mud, but no bones broken.
