Feb. 3d.. 1883. s.
The days of chivalry have not entirely
gone, and the term '.crusty" bachelor so
far as it applies to the young men of our
neighbOrhood is a misromer. A few weeks
ago John W. Mish, Esq, gave delight
full entertainment at his house in honor of
Miss Jessie Keesee. and last night j.
Frank Clemmer, ESQ.,. gave grand party
in honor of Miss Mary Hogshead, one of
| daughters.
The guests began to arrive early, and as
| all the young people of the vicinity were
there it would be invldious in me to men,
| tion few and take too much space to
name all. By eight O'Clock sixteen couples
were dancing merrily to the delightful
strains Of Prof. Slater's violin. and those
who didn't dance 1--WE pity them) were
making themselves happy as only persons
gathered together as we were, can. Some
were promenading while others with
"Eyes that looked love
To eyes that srake again."
were seemingly trying to hide themselves
in every corner of the spacious parlors,
fearing that perchance some one might
see and envy their happiness. or might
hear the golden words of love that fell
from the lips trained to speak in whispers
and to cover the sharpness of reality with
the soft ermine of IMAGINATION. Others
sat on the steps of the broad staircase,
and while the maiden's eyes flashed with
dazzling brilliancy and the fire Of wit, the
stream Of love that poured from the bach
elor's eyes told the tale 80 we'll known to
| US all-that Of asking and receiving not.
These were all interrupted by an invi-
tatinn to partake of the dellcacies Of the
season. and the most sentimental seemed
to forget his sentiment and proceeded in
good earnest to do justice to the tempt
ing viands and exhiIarating wine served to
the delighted guests.
After this, dancing was resumed and all
night long the disciples of Terpsich0r's
stripped the light fantastic toe'' while our
worthy professor played.
such soft, sweet notes
As yet musicians cunning,
Neer gave the enraptuled air.
When the f, st golden streaks of morn
ing shot across from the east to gild the
western hill tops. we separated, voting this
the most delix htful evening of the season.
But these things cannot last and to our
great regret we have heard that on this
occasion several of our 'jollisst boys
made arrangements to forsake the brother
hood of bachelors we wish them as much
pleasure all through life as we had on this
occasion. We could not wish them more.
Aud to him who gave this rarity, and tn
her in whose honor it was given we say
may JOY be yours always.

Monday between the Scotch Hill club and

That the Scotch Hill club treated the
DeItss shabbily has almost become pro %

promised TO run the Deltas up the incline
but failed TO do it,. and In consequence
the boys had to walk which made them
very tired when they arrived on the ball
ground. A bypOcritical preteXt was
given for this fsilnre, which the Deltas at
the time believed TO be true. As soon az
the Deltas arrived ontbe ground members
