TIE socia, Event of the season.

Monday, October %, 1882, will ever be
remembered by DR.. and Mrs j. L. Prentiss
as one of the happiest marriage anniversa-
ries of their welded lives. This being the
some invitations were distributed among
their numerous friends to assemble at their
residence and assist this estimable couple
to celebrate the happy occasion. From
eight o'clock until ten, guests continued to
arrive until the elegant parlors were filed
to overfowing by the elite of the city, and
a truly happy assemblage it was. As host
and hostess, the DR.. and his wife could not
be excelled. They seem to have an agree
able way of placing guests at their ease
which is really to be envied. Formally
was sufficiently abandoned to permit of
genuine sociability and q merry good time
for all. Magnificent presents of almost
every conceivable pattern that could be
manufactured in wood, We're arranged in
convenient hooks and corners of the apart
ments, to be viewed by the friends. Some
very excellent music, both vocal and in
strumental, was furnished by way of vary
ing the amusement, the singers who so
kindly favored us, being-Mrs. j. II. De-
Bois, Mrs. Il. S. Lewis and DIR. and Mrs.
Prentiss, the latter presiding at the piano.
The cuckoo clock, one of the presents, was
also quite feature of the occasion. As
the hands approached the hour for striking.
the little prisoner within appears like a
flash, sings its cuckoo until the last stroke
when bang goes the door the performance
ended. 1t reminds one of young school
boy making his first speech under protest
He rattles off the words like stringed light
ming until the last syllable is reached, when
he dodges out of sight with such alacrity,
one is almost forced to believe trap door
has been opened to swallow him.
Refreshments were served in the greatest
abundance consisting of delicious cake of
various kinds, tea, coffee, ice-cream luscious
fruits, ETC., which altogether made such a
feast the guests began to look upon the
DIR. as sly schemer adopting this agree
able means of benetiting the profession.
AS Mrs. Prentiss' receptions are noted for
the excellence of her refreshments, further
comment would be unnecessary.
As space will not admit of description
of the toilets, we can only say they were
all ADdestly elegant, exhibiting good taste
and admirable neatness. We should have
stated before, that just as pleasure was at
its hight, that is when all were engaged
catering to the wants of the inner man, the
Cai1on City Cornet Band cautiously enter
ed the yard and poured forth upon the
outer stiffness animating strains of sweet
est music thus paying respect to the event
in the most appropriate manner.
