in to add to the general mirthfulness and hilarity of the occasion. In the pantomime of the Chinese restaurant. our worthy host showed his ability to appreciate and do justice to good square meal, even when served at the hands of almond-ey ed professionals of the Celestial empire. ':Coming events cast their shadows before," and this | tnal scene behind the curtain, comm. l just before refreshments. was doubles intended to sharpen the appetite ant l give better relish for the good things to come. The refreshments which fol
 lowed were abundant in quantity and ,.xcellent m quality. The biscuit, pre- pared by the fair hostess, were simpl, delicious, and would tempt the. most tapricious appetite, while the many kinds of cake, prepared by the other ladies, were all so good that it was hard to tell which was the best. Choice con- fectionery followed refreshments, and soon the happy guests began to depart for their homes, feeling that they had spent very delightful evening. It seemed to be the general verdict of all present that 1t was very enjoyable oc- casion; any who could call it dull affair must be exceedingly dull in comprehen- sion, or wofully lacking in capacity for social enjoyment. The genial host and fair hostess are to be congratulated up on the happy and felicitous manner in which they performed the honors de- volving upon them, and the ladies of the society are to be congratulated upon the success of their new departure. It is understood that more sociables of the same kind are to follow. and those. who were so unfortunate as to miss thls one should be on hand for the next. The financial results of the evening were an addition of upwards of $7 to the fund in the hands of the treasurer of the SO ciety. and other results may be looked for in the future.

A Nova Scotia magistrate, who was
taken to task for delaying suit, is re-
ported to have used this argument in
justification OF his delay: Look here,
il you know anything about the FIRST
principles OF law or the Revised Statutes,
you must know that five clear days must
elapse after the summons is served, and
it's been raining now for three days, and
it may not clear up for a week."

Queer Laws In Dlassmch husetts.

There are some very queer laws on the
Massachusetts, statute book, the striking
anomaly about which is that they have
been continually re-enacted but are very
seldom, if ever, enforced. By those
laws, for example, travelling. not only on
Sunday, but on Saturday evening, is for
hidden, save in cases Of necessity or char.
ity. Any innkeeper is liable to be fined
who ON Sunday entertsins. or allows
about his place, any persons dher than
travellers, strangers or lodgers. Il is for
biddsn, on that day, to keep open any
shop. save for necessity or charity.
Dancing on Sunday is punishable by a
fine, the amount being fifty dollars for
each offense 1t is. moreover, unlawful
to be present at any unlicensed cetertain-
ment "other than sacred" on either Sat
urday or Sunday evenings.
