From the 18th District.-Winter, usually so
prolific in ''iairs,' and oyster suppers, has not
lost lis reputation among us from severity and

ever, and for that reason worth notice, of the
many held, was the one for the benefit of Shirley

after having been postponed from the preceding
week on account of storm and rain. Up to this
writing, details have not been g to the
public, except as to the gold headed cane which
was voted for and which was presented by the
directors, to be awarded to the of
named residents of the district receiving the
Jorty of all votes cast, each vote cos ing the de-
postor ten cents. While details, however, have
not been given, it is authoritivey stated the
flair" was an eminent success, and the amount
realized will entirely liquidate al Indebtedness.
As TO the cane, the following CLEANED from the
secretary is explanatory and suggestive, being a
synopsis of the judges, Messrs. Munroe, Bart e.

allied for the cane was $3.50.

display of good hamored feeling amoug friends
of the various candidates, who seemed to be on

and feeling remarks with which he received it
and for which he was heartily applauded.
Seventy eight dollars for a fourteen dollar cane
cannot fail to be most satisfactory to the direc-
tors, the more gratifying from its not being an
ticipated, being surprise, and also good evil

Mabury Lawrence is entitled to a full measure
