The dance and oyster supper at the
Murray House. on New Years eve, was
Grand success. 4 large company was
present. all Of whom seemed TO ENJOY
themselves greatly. After the dance closed
NJ a late hour, the "racket" commenced
on the streets to the new version of "paint-
inc the town blue" 1t looked moro like
setting the town on fire.
The oyster supper, advertised to come
of at the Murray House, on Saturday
night, Dec. Goth, for the benefit OF the
Good Templars, was almost failure, the
proceeds amounting to very little more
than the expenses. Whether tho poor
announcement extended the Order at this
supper caused some of the members to fdH
or that they never had stopped, but only
let up" for little while, or the tcmpta
ton Of the free beer so bountifully flowing
on that night, is not yet known.
The masquerade party, which some Of
our BOYS were laughing in their sleeves
over in anticipation of the good time they
were going TO have, was given up, and in
itsstead Weeyily Wheat and Bingo y
dance took place, which was kept up until
late or rather early hour. Everything
passed Off pleasantly. except collecting the
money to pay for the room, which was
raised the next morning by taking mp
collection, to which several parties who
had taken no part in the dance contrib
uted largely.

cents is still back on tho room rent. One
Of the young gentlemen has promised to
pay this when the blackberries come
again"
