Last Friday evening over half hun
dred friends were gathered at the resi-
dence OF Sheriff Jno. Fl Hum, to as
sist in celebrating his thirty-fourth
birthday There were many memen-
toes of friendship presented OH the oc-
casion. and all present seemed to be
full of enjoyment. O. A collation.
was served that would satisfy an cpl
cure, and it was Saturday morning be-
fore the guests departed.
There will be- donation party this
evening, at the Opera House, for the
benefit of Rev. g. S. Weir, at which
refreshments will be served, hot Maple
Sugar, etc. We trust all of our citi-
zens who are interested in the morals
of our village. and the welfare of their
families, will assist in making a large
donation for the reverend gentleman.
We have but one church to support
and all should render some assistance.
At last we Lave found out Why the
school bell tolls of morning. The
infractions of the rules are about ten
to the 100 scholars. Punishment is
administered in the evening, one in 20
dies from its severity, and is buried the
next morning. The ratio holds good
as to the age of the victims, rs from the
number of taps of the bell, we think
they would range from 10 to Is years
of age and still the supply equals the
! demand.
There will be Grand Masquerade
at the skating-rink, on next Friday
Evening" The extensive improve
mehts now being made by the pro-
prieters, will be fnlIv completed, ex-
cept painting, by that time, and spec
tators and participators will on this
account enjoy tl,e entertainment more
fully than heretofore. Admission 10
cents Refreshments served at reason
able prices, if required.
