Editors, do not let me impress On vo,,r
mind that this was all these Cood "a

smoking and hot, to which ample ius-

ieiiahs did eat, and still these GOOD
ladies, notwithstanding this sple6d;d
supper, spread another table ladan
with sweets and all those deliciora
things which come to us about Christ
mas times, and, sirs, we did not fail
TO notice with what pleasure and alae-
rity the young sports led in fihe;r
sweethearts to be treated. There was

Trend Joseph, seated between two of
his Oldest and best friends each anx-
ious to exceed the other in entertain
ing him, became so greatly ymitten by
the charms o; these ladies that he
scarcely ate anything. Poor fellow,
1t never affected us that way. As for
your correspondent, like al cores

aud hot being contented with this.
The being mad because a fellow had
secured the fair partner of his Joys

Too much praise and credit can
not be said of Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman
tine, the kind and hospitable host
and amiable hostess, who by their
p easant manners and courteous at
Tsntion, have the thanks Of the en-
tire company for their kind reception.
The committee too, who had charge
of the affair, deserve especial mention
for the admirable manner in which
they conducted it.
These ladies beg leave 10 announce,
Messrs Editors, that this is the first
of a series of suppers, which will fol-
low IN rapid succession, the next be-
ing held at the parsonage, Cedar
Point, on the 18th inst, and by this
means, they hope to liquidate the
still standing debt against that estab-
iishment. The committee announce
that quite a handsome sum was real
lied at the last supper, and we feel
sure for so laudable cause and such
an Insignificant sum as % cents, the
next viii be just as literally patron
lied.
Hoping Messrs. Editor, that I have
not intruded too much upon your
valuable time aud space and that the
fierce moustachios will have recover
ed by that time. that Joseph has re-
gained his appetite and lost candy,
that your correspondent will not
pose as a "wall-fowe', will close,
promising that you snail hear FROM
me again. Until then, Gu ycUoir,
