On Friday evening Mr.. J. f.
Blake'a friends assembled at his res
idence to aid his excellent lady in
commemoratlng that gentleman S
thiTtieth birthday. The parlors
were filed with merry company
when John came in from his office.
To say he was surprised don't name
1.-THE just gave it up, said the little
woman had got plum away with
| him for once. The guests had pur-
chased handsome upholstered
chair as a birthday present, and
centered on the writer hereof to
present it to him in our usual elo-
quent style, and here again came in
another surprise-Mrs. Turner,
knowing our bashful difiidence,
greatly relieved us by making the
address herself, which was received
with loud applause by all present
and none more heartily than from
ourself. 1t was decidedly, 10 US
the pleasing episode of the evening
since it reduced our labors to tn,
minimum. The evening was pleas
antly and agreeably spent by the as
sembled company and they all dis
J persed To their homes at a late hou
/ feeling, no doubt, like John, tina
: they wished his birthday woult
come every week.
We notice, in many places il
! the territory monthly market day
r are being established, and have beel
I found great convenience. tn
day being known in advance, farm
2 ers having stock or produce of an,
kind to dispose of are present, ant
$ all the buyers in the vicinity, a
well as many from a distance assem-
. BILE, and bargains are made that il
most cases are advantageous to al
concerned. After the day become
known as a regular institution, tn
:. crowd of buyers from abroad grow
,, larger, and the transactions muc
mole numerous. The plan appear
to be feasible and quite sensible, an
we rise to inquire why it may no
be established here. 1t seems to Il
that monthly market day Nigh
be established in Webster, under tn
e auspices of the d. G. A. S., and b
e made, not only great conyenienc
$ to the farmers but source of prof
I, to the society. Let MS wake up an
r do something-get to the front wit
e our neighbors.
n lit is our opinion that a recen

n the right title when he signed him
t Eself "No. Hard" He certainl
was as near as we can learn, the Nc
