again. The M. E. Social this evening at
the residence of Mrs Jane Swanson, was
very pleasaat affair, though not as
largely attended as it should have been.
The Academy Social. coming on the same
evening, drew largely upon the young

largely attended. -. Hamilton Butcher

little daughter, Oracle, to-day. A pleas
ant time for the little folks. IA num-
Der of gentlemen were drinking at lem
onade stand when one remarked: "Ah, this |
reminds me of Mother Sylvester's beer"
Mother Sylvester's beer and gingerbread |
constitute one of the sweetest traditions |

The wonder is that the man himself did |
not choke, for the story was evidently |
bigger than the apple. -. Mrs. Mary A. |
