THE SURPRISE.
On Saturday night a company of over
one hundred ladies led by the Deere band
boldly scaled the dangerous iron steps
leading to the sanctum sanctorum of the
X. Of L., and bursting all barriers
plunged into their hall before the valiant
Knights could buckle on either sword or
armor. Though many cheeks blanched
and hearts throbbed violently, anticipate
ing something dreadful as the party ap-
preached, their fears were soon allayed,
for peace, not war, was the object of the
besiegers, and rations of good things,
and not cold steel the offerings made to
the gallant Knights. A time of great en-
joyment was INDUCED in for three hours,
which not one there can ever forget. 1t
was q successful surprise successfully
carried cut to the end.
