A Pleasant Social Erent.

On Friday evening, February 9th, a
number of ladies and gentlemen made up
sleighing party and visited "Oakona," the
resid ence of Mrs. n. b. Conklyn, near Ka-
bletown. Itmight be called an odd Folks "
gathering, but there was enough OF the
young to give spice and variety to the Com
pany. About sunset sleighs arrived with
Dr. w. w. Brown and lady, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Myers, Mrs Geo. l.. Rissler and son,
Miss Maggie Keiauver-closely followed by
an immense farm sled, from Kabletown,
drawn by four spirited ~ eds that made the
woods echo with the merry jingle of many
bells. That popular and clever young gen
tleman, Mr. b. f. Yates, who always does
his part to add to the pleasure of his many
friends. furnished the team and handled
the ribbons in Il manner that insured a
grand sleigh ride TO all on board. They
were Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Cassell, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. H. Kable, Mrs John Kable, Misses
Ida Kabe, Mary McClenlan, Mollie Yates
and Mr.. ]. w. Kercheyal, who acted as con,
ductor Never did q company enjoy sled
ride more.
The company was received by Mr.. &. Ma
son Conkyn in his usual polite and urhane
manner, AMY anu EidCciulil "ooio'NN - 49,
]. II. and c. C. Conklyn. After most
bountiful supper the company retired to the
parlor and spent pleasant evening. Ola
Folks at Home, sung by number OF the
ladies and gentlemen, was very touching,
after which Mrs. CaSsell stepped forward,
and in a graceful and elegant style, dedica-
ted to the venerable and venerated hostess,
now in her 10Th year, beautiful poem, en-
titled "What Shall the Angel Carry Across
the River?" which she read in a clear and
distinct voice, that riveted the attention OF
her hearers. This was complete surprise
and was highly appreciated by the venerable
lady. After this Mrs. John Kable sang
solo entitled Mrs. Lofty" and received
encore after encore. Then Miss Ida kable
assisted by her mother. sang the Blind
Girl" The entertainment closed by Mrs
Cassell reading a German selection and a
letter from Betsy Bodkin,' which set the
company in an uproar of daughter that knew
no bounds. At - o'clock the guests bad(
goodbye, and in the brilliant light of the
full moon, amid the waving of handkerchief
and clapping of hands by the ladies, waving
of hats and hurrahs of the gentlemen, and
merry music of bells, left the jewellers a.
"Oaklona" to mediate over a delightful
evening spent with esteemed and honoreC
friends that will never be forgotten.

Not the Man They Took Him For.

Until few years ago there were two
brothers living in this city, who resem-
bled each other so closely that it was
almost impossible to distinguish one
from the other, the identity extending
to the voice, expression of the face and
even the movement in walking. One
of the brothers, who is a travelling
agent for shoe firm here, boards at a
Nell-known hotel in the city, while the
other has been living East. About two
weeks ago the Rochester brother left
the city, stating that he expected to be
gone some months, but last week to
all appearances returned to the hotel.
Another drummer, who was well ac-
quainted with the shoe man, walked ND
and with ''hullo, old boy, what
brought you back so soon?h slapped
him on the back. The newcomer quick
ly turned and with an expression of as
constituent on his face paralyzed the
drummer by saying, YOU'RE mistaken
in the man, sir, ;" and walked off. Soon
another gentleman came up and spoke
to him, but was not recognized. Then
it began to be whispered around that
the Rochester man, who is very fond of
joke, was making game of them, and
every one, even to the slightest ac-
quaintance of his, was induced to stop
and shake hands with the apparent
stranger, even employees at the hotel
laughing at him when he asked where
the dining-room was. This state of
affairs has been going on day after day,
and few will be aware that they have
been speaking to an entire stranger I'M
til they read this article. The fact is
that it is the Rochester mans brother
who has been at the hotel. Singular
as it may seem, the brother by accident
came to the city on business and stop
ped at the same hotel, Their similar
appearance has caused the confusion,
and undoubtedly some apology will be
offered to-day. The Rochester man is
still out West, entirely ignorant of the
whole affair. Democrat.

Saving Life by Self-Inflation.

DR.. Henry Sylvester, who is widely
known as the author of the best method
of reSuscitation of the apparently
drowned, publishes in the London
Lancet a method which he claims will
prevent persons from drowning. The
method which he proses is to distead
the skin of the neck and upper part of
the chest sufficiently with air to sup
port the weight of the body when i'm
mersed, the imitation being effected by
the person himself by means of his
lungs without the Intervention of ap-
planes. The necessary operation
consists in making q small puncture,
not larger than necessary to allow of
the passage of small blowpipe, in the
mucous membrane of the mouth, the
object being to open 4 communication
for the passage of air from the cavity
Of the mouth into the simultaneous
space of the neck. The situation
chosen for the puncture is in the angle
formed between the gum Of the lower
jaw and the side of the molar tooth OF
the lower jaw. The point of the in
strument perforating should be passed
down q short distance between the skin
of the face and the superficial facia of
the neck, its point being guided by the
finger placed on the outside of the face
and neck, taking care not to puncture
either the skin or the superfluous facia.
This having been done and the instru-
ment removed in order to initiate the
skin of the neck and chest, the person
should close the mouth and nose, and
make succession of forcible expira-
tory efforts, when the air contained in
the cavity of the mouth will pass freely
into the simultaneous tissue of the
neck. These exploratory efforts, inspi-
ration being effected through the nos
trils, should be continued until the
skin is fully distended with air, which
will pass readily to both sides of the
neck and down to the chest as far as
the nipples; and this is all that is re-
CURED to render the body buoyant in
water. Should it so happen that the
superficial facia has been punctured
and the air passed beneath it, the only
difference in effect would be that the
extent of air would be limited by the
attachments of that membrane to the
clavical below and the border of the
jaw above. The amount of air which
the SKIN OF the average neck Is capaole
of holding without undue distension
has been measured, and found to be
enough to support ten pounds, and is
amply sufficient to support the body
immersed in water. The time required
for imitation is found to be less than
three minutes. The neck may be kept
in an inflated condition by closing the
puncture by pressure on the outside of
the cheek by the finger, or by keeping
the mouth distended with air; and
when required, the air may be immedi-
ately discharged from the neck by al
lowing the puncture to remain open,
or by suction

The Little Stone School-House.


The little stone schooEhouse still stands ON
Where it Stood in sny boyhood when life was
serene.
And around it the sunshine falls just as of
old,
As in days long since vanished, the fair days
of gold!
Under its windows the blue violets grow,
Just as they blossomed long, long years ago.
And the brown-coated swallow still builds her
rude nest
Under the old caves, with none to modest.
The robin still sings in the butternut-tree,
Which stands near the spot that is hsllowed
to me!
Children pass and repass through the wide
AS they did in the old time. the sweet days of
yOre.
The grass is as green and the skies are as fair,
As when life before me lay pleasant and fair;
While the breezes SO fragrant blow over the
As they did in my childhood when life was
serene.
But the children who pass through the wide
And who sport on the green, are not they
they Of yOre?
And my letter lonesome grows, sad tears dim
my eyes.
AS I LOCK on their faces, where happiness lies.
For I gaze and remember my light heart at
school,
In that little stone school-house, in the years
beautiful.
And fam would go back with school-mates
of yOre,
Live over the past,-but the past comes no
more.

Intelligent Pickets.

One of the most efficient divisions in
the Army of the Potomac, as organized
by Gen. Mcclellan in the fall Of 1861,
was that commanded by Blenker, who
came at the head of the 1st German
rifles of New York, about eight hun
dred strong, and became the comman-
der of some twelve thousand men,
nearly all of them Germans Like the
children OF the captive Jews, who spoke
':half IN Hebrew and half in the speech
OF Ashdod, these Teuton warriors had
a vague idea Of the English language,
and their style of challenging was
unique. As l was going the grand
rounds with lady and gentleman
from Boston we were .'passed" through
all the pickets on the Leesburg turn
pike on the presentation of a free sea-
son ticket on a railroad route, which
was first shown by accident instead OF
the legitimate pass from headquarters,
and afterward to test the knowledge of
the sentries Yah! dat ism goot-
forVart!'' was the approving verdict
after each ostensible careful examina-
ton Of the card. Ben: PerIey Poore.
