for the purpose of accumulating fund to
pay a residue still due upon said instru.
ment-she will give an ice cream en-.

made for persons attending this entertain
ment to spend very refined and pleasant
evening, and the public generally are cor
daily invited to be present. There will
be, on this occasion. no admittance fee, no.
railing, no auctioning. On the contrary,

Strange but Magnificent " Mixtry."
Our beloved old comrade, Lawrence S.
Johnson-he OF the wonderful and ANUS
ing carp experiences-brings us a huge
basket apparently full of mammoth peach
es of several new early Yarleties-such
peaches as at the North would easily COM
mand so cents apiece. But midway the
basket We find thick layer OF paper that
divides the peaches from treasures lower.
down. From huge bumps and awellings
in the; paper we judge-that canteloupes
lie beneath. But not SO. They are
dozen onions, larger than canteloupes. IL
deep couple of them would suffice for
candidates dinner at Etheredge's Store'
where iive million people always consre-
gate. AS regards the onion, the champion
belt may at once be yielded to our frieno
johnson. We would like to see other
samples, but we have, with entire conf
dence, locked the belt upon our carp man
and thrown away the key.
