friend d. d. DUNCAN, walking along Ports

town, this morning. We thought he
looked little older, but just as pleasant
as ever. Upon inquiry we found that he
is grandpa, this morning, and that he
was on his way to the residence of his
son-inlaw and his daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Morris Sternberger, to see the newly ar
rived young lady. We met to-day
Mr.. Alonzo Osborn. The old gentleman
has been spending some time visiting his
children and grandchildren in Pike
County.

rain beating down freely. The young
lady put her gossamer around him. but
forgot to show him where the arm-holes
were. He wrapped it carefully about
him, and sailed forth, but suddenly slip
ped and fell, on the s rect. He attempt
ed to get up, but his arms were tightly
wrapped in the cloak. He Topped, and
rolled, and tumbled, but the arm-holes of
that gossamer were harder to find than
the pocket in a woman's dress. After a |
few fantastic tumbles, he succeeded in |
regaining his feet, when he rushed home,
vowing that he never wants to go home
again with a lady's gossamer, unless the
ady is in it. The Reading Room
Committee held meeting tonight, and
