only the ladies of this town can prepare,
which was partaken of at 8 p m, after
which Mr.. Kirk and wife were presented
with an elegant hanging lamp. Before
presenting the lamp Mr.. Kirk and lady,
under pretense of assisting the young
folks in some plays, were called into an
other room, and during their absence the
lamp was adjusted, after which they were
called in, being completely taken by sur
prise. They were at loss 10 know what
