A Social Party.

On last Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Jeske invited number of friends to attend
an informal party, to be held at their resi-
dence on River street. Those who were SO
fortunate as to obtain invitations knew
that very pleasant evening could be
counted on, owing to the reputation of host
and hostess for hospitality. Beside this,
the residence is the best adapted to an
evenings entertainment of any in our CITY,
being commodious and having one large
spare room, without carpet, in which at
least sixteen persons can dance at one
time. The large dining room, with its i'm
mense bay window filled with the rarest
and most beautiful flowers that can be
raised in this sunny cline, many of them
now being in full bloom, is an attraction
sufficient in itself. As is usual on such oc-
casions very merry party assembled and
enjoyed themselves in conversation, card
parties, checkers and dancing until tho
| clock threatened to strike 12. The regular
prompters being absent one of the RECORD
staff was thrown into the breach and rs he
had been out of practice for years the
figures called were so novel as to make the
quadrilles anything but monotonous.
Lunch was served, composed of hot coffee,
sandwiches, ham, salads, cakes of every
kind, fruit, nuts, candies, etc. Among
those present were Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. M.
Engleman, Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Baker, Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. Dueber, Mr.. and Mrs. J. T.
Ashby, Mr.. and Mrs. Z. Sell, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Walter, Mr. and Mrs. E. ii. Downer Mr.
and Mrs. T. M. Robinson, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
A. Helm, Miss Nellie Cooper, Mrs. ]. Ruff,
DR.. Gray, Messrs. F. Sell, +. X. Anstett,
Ed. Haines, c. I. Helm, H. T. Blake and
others.

long to straightcn things around for an
evenings pastime, and soon all were en-
gagged in some kind of amusement. Re-
freshments were served, and dancing

as given US by Mr.. Hugh Monroe. q passenger
on tho coach, are much as follows: They
found HIM sitting on his horse in an al
most unconscious state, about eighteen miles

He did not seem to care where he went or W hat

When he saw loaf Of bread he
thought he could cat ten Of them, but
was unable to touch q small piece of it, The
horse showed himself almost human. He had
no laliat to tic HIM with, but when he would
stand near him, occasionally coming up and
licking his face, and in the morning he would
come to him to be sadded. The horse kept
going with him until he struck the trail, when
he turned aud followed it till he met the

of paper and pencil to explain his action he
would have shot himself. His first thought on
returning to consciousness was his duty, won

he had saved to their destination Parker is
from Toronto, and is son Of the auditor Of

the weather was not very cold or he would un-
doubtedly have perishsd, as he had on only
