Soiree at Briarley Hall.


Friday, February 9th, was the occasion
of an entertainment which equaled, II it
did not surpass, those hitherto given at
Briarley Hall.
The Fates seemed conspired to induce a
full and harmonious success The clouds
sent down a beautiful snow; the sun lent
his enlivening rays, and for an hour at least
before the appointed time the sound of
merry sleigh bells brought inspiration to
those who were TO participate in the per-
Torrance. It is difficult to imagine pref
tier sight than met the eyes of the fortunate
visitors, the sunlight and snow without made
Mrs. Porter's lovely grounds more attractive
than ever, and within doors display of
luxuriant Gala lilies and other exotics, to-
gether with the bloom of health on so many
fair young faces, made perfect May day in
the midst of winter.
The programme evinced in every way the
competence of those who designed it, The
!. opening piece was a duet, National Airs, by
Misses Benbury and Norris Miss Kate
Davis read with lively expression one of
Will Honeycomb's letters TO Addison's
Spectator, and near the conclusion Of the
entertainment showed much talent in the
recital of "Flying Jm's Last Leap" Miss
Mamie Poole sang Love in Youth" sweet
ly, and played Concert March" with effect
Little Gertie brought down hearty APP
plause by reciting "The Sparrows Morning
Visit" Miss Flora Owen read "a Bache.
lor's Soliliqny; Miss Emma Hays 1.-The
Model Love letter." Miss Annie Poole
Mrs. Candles Umbrella Lecture" 1t is
needless to add that these young ladies' af-
forded much laughter. The most amusing
feature Of the evening. however, was a
charade, "Personating Elders" by Misses
Virgie Grimes and Cora Milford. Miss
Blanche Buxton exhibited an unusual va
riety of accomplishments her instrumental
solo was good, and her cultivated voice was
heard with much pleasure both in singing
and in reciting. Miss Mary White won
admiration by the successful execution of
"Home, Sweet Home" and 1.-THE Alpine
Boys Lament Perhaps the most finished
pianist Of the groupis Miss Luce Williams.
Her reading Of "Mary Queen Of Scots" was
also excellent A sprightly duet concluded
the programme.
II is impossible to attend one of these
charming entertainments without being i'm
pressed with the graceful and easy manner
in which the young ladies deport them.
selves. There Is a freedom from awkward
and embarrassed restraint which bespeaks
the most careful trimming in this as well as
in the more important departments OF edu.

STRICKEN WEST VIRGINIANs.-
A dispatch from Wheeling says: "a
panic prevails in that part of Clay
county, w. Va, lying along Syca
more creek, arising from the rava
ges of a strange and fatal disease
among the few inhabitants of thai
region. About fifty people have
been attacked, of whom a score have
died, and the death rate promises tt
increase with great rapidity. The
Weekly Progress says:
"Every hour brings the sad news
of another death. AT first the NAL
ady was thought to be fluX, but it il
now believed to be another and more
fatal disorder. A vague, horrible
fear has begun to fill the breasts O
some. 1t may not be cholera, bu
the symptoms are very much like it
An instance of the fatal effects O
the disease is afforded by the family
of Justice Sizmore, a well-known cit
izen. Three of his sons are already
dead, and as they lay in their collins
three more were writhing andscream
ing with the awful torture which
carried off the others. We have
been unable to learn the exact num-
Der. of deaths, but the reports are
most alarming. 1t is chiefly confn
et, to children, who are attacked and
die within an hour, seemingly para
lyzed with palms,
"The Sycamore creek region is
merry sparsely settled with a class of
hardy mountaineers, and as the re
gion is one of pure water and healthy
mountain air, the outbreak seems
unaccountable. The sympto m s
seem to suggest the disease that last
year prevailed in a number of coun.
ties in the extreme southwestern
part of this State and one or two
over the line in Kentucky.

men unearthed bit of iron of much
historic value-the first stove plate
ever cast in Pennsylvania. The
plate is about two feet square, and
was cast by Jacob Huber, at Eliza.
beth Furnace in the year 1855.
Around the four sides of the plate is
a double line of moulding, and in
each corner is a flower, presumably
a lily. Two large arches supported
on columns, occupy about two-thirds
of the upper surface Of the plate.
In the centre ofthe arch is the name
of the maker JACOB HvBER. There
are lilies and stars at the top of the
arch and also below the word JACOB
while below the word HvBER is a
circle, the circumference of which
appears to have contained legend,
but the plate is SO much rusted the
letters cannot be made out. just
below this aud running across the
entire width of the plate are the
words:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Near the bottom of the plate in
very large figures, is the date -17-55-
enclosed in a long, narrow oval,
with flowers before and after the
figures, and also between the IL and
90. The Iatelligeacer, in its minds
eye, can see the tavern loungers of
a century ago sitting round the six
plate stove toasting their shins as
they drank their three. cent whisky
for at the spot where the relic was
found there used to be a public inn.
