On last Friday night goodly crowd
gathered at the Academy, and partook OF
the we'll cooked and prepared oysters that
the Masonic fraternity had there. Whilst
there was not 30 large gathering o. on
some other occasions, yet it was happy
gathering, and merriment ran high until
quito late hour. Those who like to ding
the eight fantastic toe" had the pleasure
of that amusement after the supper was
over. All that were present were we'll
pleased.
On Saturday night 3 number Of young
ladies and gentlemen gathered at tne
house of our townsman, Mr.. w. T. Smith,
for the purpose OF getting up m enter
tainment Of some kind to aid the soldiers
Of the old Greenville company to attsnd
the reunion Of the New York regiment
at Niagara Falls next May. This -
movement in the right direction, for II

stantial aid, it surely il our worthy poor
soldiers who spent four years Of their
lives for their country and now, when an
occasion is offered them to spend . few
days of social enjoyment. they should b
provided with what means they may nesd.
and feel assured that the good people Of
our neighborhood will literally respond to
any call that 10 made On them to help
those that cannot raise the necessary
amount to defray their expenses to and
from Niagara. Friends, see to 1t that

Although the election 10 great way OF.
vet We should be looking about. ourselves

places, and those that will be sure Of cleo
tion; and in this connection think we
have several men in this end Of the ceun-
ty for treasurer and as We have not had .
representative In any Of the county Offices,
think it would be perfectly just that ~
should be given the County Treasurer nsxt
spring. We have many men well qualified
for the position In Riverheads. who could
fill the Office acceptably. The last officer
We had was tho lamented John Tate. and
it is now time We shoald have another. T.
It is rumored here that one of our most
popular young gents win lead to the by

We are panied to state that Mr.. Robert
N. Carson is lying dangerously ill 1t his
home near "Old Providence"
During last wesk our town was visited
by Misses Jessie Kesee, Of Middlebrook.
and Berthe Palmer, OF Arbor Hill, who
are two popular young ladies, and are a.
ways welcomed in our town. The former
was a guest of Miss Sue G. Smith, and
the latter of r. Il. Palmer, Esq.
From present appearance, the wheat
crop will not yield very abundant har'

[NoTE.-Our correspondent will observe
that we have omitted the names OF some
gentlemen whom he recommends a. ct for
certain county Offices. While the gentle
men he names are favorites with US, It
would be inexcusably unfair in " to for
ward their selection through correspond.
ence, when other gentlemen. or theil
friends for them, are required to pay fol
election announcements.- VIxDICA'
