Wednesday, of last week, was the 46th
birth day of the editor of the NohlaERNER.
That, of itself, was not an event of sufficient

people have birth day every year, so they
are quite common. But when a man goes
home in the evening and finds that, in his
absence, his castle has been invaded, and
that crowd of unlimited guests have taken
possession of his premises, he has right to
complaint he wants to. That was Just
what happened to u.s. We found our usually
quiet and peaceful dwelling in possession
not of mob, nor an army-but. large
crowd of our warmest personal friends. If
we ever We're completely taken by surprise,
il was just at that time. Not only bad they
taken possession, but they had brought with
them large supply of the necessary mater
} lal for an elegant repast which they pro-
ceeded to prepare, and 20 which just fifty
persons did ample justice. 1t was hilari-
Gus. happy, jolly crowd. They came to en-
JOY themselves and they did so to the fullest
extent. Friends, one and all, we thank you
most heartily and sincerely for your many
kind words and deeds. and warm wishes for
ourself and family. Your "raid" will never
be forgotten, but will remain in our memory
as one of our most pleasant. experiences.
