invite gentlemen to form their &C
quaintance, even going so far as to &C
cost them on the streets. There is
no doubt in the world that many of
our girls and young women are lack

them to genteel consideration, and it
is quite as manifest that they are
largely responsible for the presence on
the streets of the indecent creatures
known as ''mashers' as is the deprav-

a matter to look after the girls as it is
to drive the betrayers from the streets

Mr.. EDIToR:-I was present at
discussion in Middletown about two
weeks since, held in the public school
building, which was very entertain
ing, but must say that was sorry to
see the building in such dilapidated
condition. The desks were marked
and cut, the walls defaced, and in sew
eral places the plastering and laths
torn Oft, while many panes of glass in
the windows were badly shattered
The front door, minus the lock, had a
panel broken out, and looks as if it
would hardly last through another
session. What a shame la building
which was once credit to the town,
to be so abused l ask, Mr.. Editor,
who is responsible for such a wanton
destruction of public property-the
pupils, the teacher, or the trustees?

The social event of the week was
the reception given at Mr. G. M. Pee

of his daughter, Miss Lula V. Peery.
By eight o'clock fully fifty guests had
arrived, consisting of the bellies and
beaux of the community. Miss Lula
made her debut in rich black velvet,
and received the guests very graceful
ly. All seemed to enjoy themselves
hugely. The kind and cordial hospi-
tality of Mr., and Mrs. Peery, and the
polite attentions of Messrs. Ashby
Williams, John Reed, Lloyd Peery
and 'little Fannie" added greatly to
the general enjoyment. After par
taking of bountiful repast of the
substantials about nine o'clock, some
amused themselves with innocent
plays, some with music, and others
with tete-a-tete conversations. Thus
they pleasantly spent their time until
the hour of midnight, when they were
again refreshed with dainties sufficient
to satisfy the most epicurean TASTE
About two o'clock the crowd dispers-
ed, though seemingly 10th to do so.-
May they all, as well as the bachelor
editor, have many happy returns of
such pleasant and enjoyable occasions.
