Quite a large and select party as
sembled by invitation at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Rowe last Wed.
nesday evening, the occasion being the
twenty-third birthday of Mr.. Rowe.
After the guests had assembled Mrs. G.
D. Miner and Mrs. j. W. Pitts took
charge of the piano, and the musical
talent of these ladies is too well known
to require any praise of their efforts.
1t is sufficient to say that they were
tired out long before the remainder of
the company thought of letting them
rest. About half past ten the company
was invited into the dining room where
they found the tables loaded with the
best of everything that grows in
America. The feast was arranged by
Ike Goodro, whose genius in this direc-
ton is we'll known. After the inner
man and woman had been satisfied,
the company withdrew to the splendid
~ furnished parlors and engaged in
various amusements, all enjoying them
selves in their own way, all being
made to feel very much at home by
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowe. The evening
will long be remembered by those
present. 5.
The officers of tho law have had
quite little campaign during the last
week. On complaint of citizen that
his son procured liquor at the Hub
Dining Rooms, that place was search
ed last week, but not even smell of
liquor was found. The complainant
was evidently mistaken, as it is pretty
generally known that no liquor has
been sold there for some months.
On Thursday of last week, a suspi-
cious looking keg was seen going
down toward the creek in rear Of
Smith and Sheldon's block and the
same day, A. B. Colby received visit
which resulted in the loss by him of
considerable number of bottles of
beer. which had evidently been taken
from the aforesaid key. Part of the
bottles were found concealed in pile
of wood.
On Monday last, the drug stores of
Sheldon & Co. and r. Birchard, Agt.,
were visited by officers Cobb and
Munroe. Nothing was found at the
former place which appeared to contra
vene the law, but a barrel of alcohol
and demijohn of brandy rewarded
the search at the other place. The bar
rel of alcohol had arrived only short
time before the descent was made.
Some other alcohol found was left by
the officers on the representation that it
was the property of the Wheat Bitters
Co., and was to be used in the manu-
facture of that salubrious drink. The
ownership of the seized liquor will be
determined on Saturday of next week.
A warrant has been served upon
Colby on complaint for keeping with
intent to sell, which is TO be tried next
Wednesday.
JUNIOR Ex.-The Junior exhibition
by the class of 1883 was given at grad
ed school hall on Tuesday evening last.
The evening was a pleasant one and
the hall was filled full. extra seats be-
ing required to scat the audience.
Quiet and order prevailed, none of the
disturbances which have been frequent
in former years being attem pied.
President Hamlin made a preliminary
explanation regarding the change in
the conditions of admission, no tickets
being sold, but tickets of invitation
having been issued. The audience
doubtless appreciated the change. The
orations were generally good and well
delivered. The music was furnished by
the Howard Opera House Orchestra Of
Burlington, some of the pieces on the
programme being omitted, however.
