In the evening. at an early hour, on

conf fortable home of the Steyensons
could be seen friends and neighbors in
wagons, carriages and on horseback. in.
vited to attend the party in honor of the
occasion,s When everybody had crriued.
and count was made, it was found that

ing began about O'Clock, and was kept
up4until midnight when an adjournment
was had to the supper room. Here every.
thing was gotten up on an extended
scale, and in o manner which could not

THE proof of the pudding is in the eat
ing thereof" and the old adage held
good in this case for full justice was
done to the substantials and delicacies by
the guests. Notwithstanding the crowd,
there was no crush or inconvenience st
the table,. and expressions of admiration
were heard on all sides at the real execu-

There has never been gathering on
the Missouri Slope more thoroughly en-.
joyed and productive of better results
than this. q. In new county, with MANY
of its citizens but recently arrived from
sections far apart, it is eminently desir-
able that through social entertainments
they become better acquainted with one
another and with the old time pioneers.
Such was the outcome of this party, for
many who met as strangers parted as
friends. After viewing the assemblage
and mingling with those present, we
doubt it one man or woman among them
all returned home without being better
satisfied that his or her lot had been cast,
with such pleasant and intelligent people,
Z Mr. Donald Stevenson, although CON.
fined to his room by severe but luckily,
not dangerous accident, through an OPEN
door Witnessed the happiness of his
guests and was with them in we'll,
wishing if not in person.
The RECORD voices the sentiments of
all when it wishes happiness and success
IN life to the two, young couples, and
prosperity to the worthy host and bis
estimable wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson
are among those brave spirits who came
to this region when the hand of the red
man was against the pale-face. Such as
they have made settlement possible for
those who came after; and during lives
which the RECORD hopes may be long
and happy they deserve, and will receive,
the regard and honor of those whom for
tune has directed this way.
