! The mention made in the last issue of
this paper of the reception given by Mr..
and Mrs. DoOlittle. of the Mansfield
House, on Tuesday evening, the 22d inst,
avoids the seeming necessity of our Civ
ing a very full account of the same. The
assuming by Mr.. DoOlittle of the pro-
prietorship of the house, with the large
experience which he had had i'll hotel
its early reputation and popularity might
be restored; that the glitter of fine turn
outs might again be seen on our public
ways and fashionably dressed people be
among us, basking in the sunlight and
pure air of every hill side. But nothing
in all the changes that have been made
in the prOprietorship of the property has
given so much encouragement to this !
hope among the citizens as has the free. |
tlpV, %
DoOlittle and his amiable lady. The re- |
ception of itself was a grand affair, but |
bears no such influence upon the success |
or non-success of the house as the genial |
daily walk of its proprietor. and of those
who do his bidding. 1t was not recep-
ton of title and wealth, but of the peO-
pie; not of those who make glitter the |
criterion of mans social standing, but of |
those among whom he has come to live;
whose welfare is mutual with his own,
and with whom he desires to live on such |
terms that the success of the house may |
insure advantage to the citizens of this
and adjoining communities. To this end,
that acquaintance might be more quickly |
formed, invitations were sent broadcast,
300 of which were ansWered-enOugh to
fill the halls and large parlOrs of the
house. Waterbury and Morrisville sent
large delegations of business men and
their wives, whom he had with our own
people at his hospitable board. PauPs
band was present, discoursing sweet
music while with sociability, the early
evening was soon whiled away, giving
place to a rich entertainment in the large
dining hall. After dinner, thanks and
congratulations were extended by Hon.
George wilkins to all present, on the
prospective success of the house, to
which Mr.. Doolittle very happily re-
sponded. While the inner man of many
was satisfied and mutual good feeling
prevailed, the loud clapptng of hands in
dictated to those who heard, not that the
speeches were fine. Those who desired
sought the dancing hall and eighty
tripped the fantastic toe till the early
hours of morning. while song and ninth
gave pleasure to those who chose during
their further stay to roam through the
extensive halls.
