White Grounds, I'd District.-The enter
tainment of the White Ground Literary Assoca.
ton came off Thursday night, Jan. 10th, and
was grand success, Notwithstanding the brevity
of its getting up and the elements to combat
The music was grand, especially the duets by
Misses Amelia Evanson and Rosa Hopwood, OF
Baltimore. The choruses, under the direction OF
Miss May Zimmerman, musical director, were
none the less exquistein fact the renditions both
musical and literary were all well received Miss
Elenor Haycocks recitations received the greatest
eclat during the evening. Among the large and
appreciative audience present were Hon. Hart b.
Holton and lady. Master Willie Holton took an
active part in the entertainment; also Master
Clifton Smink. The net proceeds of the enter
tainment and collections during the three months
existence of the society, with $12 advanced by
Mr.. John Upton, paid off the entire Indebtedness
of the association, including the fine large organ
purchased of Mr.. Heinecamp, Baltimore. The
meeting of the society Friday night, Jan. 30th,
which was intended as business meeting only,
was largely attended. Those present were pleas
antly entertained by Misses Rosa Hopwood and
May Zimmerman.
The association highly appreciates the kindness
of the editors of TIE UNION for sending them the
question-"W hich is the most fun, to see q man
threading needle or a woman drive nal?'-
which has been accepted by the society as chal-
lenge under the intellectual code. Therefore the
said editors will please meet in intellectual con-
fict Mr.. Tudor Emmart, the Calhoun, and ELS
worth Upton, the Henry Clay of the White
Grounds, who have been pitted against said edi-
tors. N. B.-Said battle to take place next
Friday night, Feb. 18th.
For the benefit of the Ekridge Fox Hunting
Club would state that two foxes, following each
other few feet apart, were seen by Mr.. John
Upton the other day crossing his field within
twenty-five yards of his house.
Mr.. William Piel, road supervisor, being housed
with the rheumatism, the improvement ON the
Rolling road continues under the able and trust
worthy hands of Messrs. Henry Detman, Martin
Reich and Henry Tegler.
The oyster supper at Mr.. Michael Wallis's,
Franklintown, on Tuesday night, Feb. Sd, which
was for the benefit of St. Mary's Church, quite
a success in a financial point of view.
The ball at Jacksonville, on Wednesday, Jan.
2Sth, proved to be very enjoyable affair to the
young folks.
An oyster supper will be held at Mount Alto
Presbyterian Church, on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, Feb. 10th and 18th, for the benefit of said
church.
The pastoral labors ofthe Rev. Samuel Yearick,
of the German Church, on the White Grounds,
cease the LIST of March. The Rev. gentleman, who
has abored so arduousy in the cause of Christ
and humanity here, will, no doubt, bear away
with him many tableted memoirs or treasured
"reminiscences of the past, fit food for future
thought; while behind him will be left unperish
able memories of the good he has wrought. May
success attend his ministry wherever he goes.
The White Ground grounding crawled out of
his hole between 9 and 10 o'clock last Monday
and didn't 60 back. Why? Because he didn't
see his shadow. Why didn't he? Because he was
blind drunk. So you if there is anything in
ground hog superstition we'll have good weather
for the next six weeks to come.
Owing to the sudden changes in the weather
nearly everybody in this section has the "epizoo-
tic" or bad colds.
The politicians about here are very quiet. Not
ripple is beheld on the political surface, except
the silent combinations of the "Boss," looking to
the Circuit Court Cerkship for second term.
