for the above firm.
Some little time before election an
agreement was made by two of our
townsmen, ID. A. Roleau and NJ. j. Lam
don, that, whichever party prevailed, said
party should give an oyster supper. The
result of the election was happy disap-
pointment to the latter, but grievous to
the former. However, Mr.. Roleau, a
wide-awake Democrat, and very hospit-
able wthal, fulfilled his compact, and on
the evening of Noy. q he, with his wife.
entertained a dozen or more of their
lady and gentlemen friends with an ex-
cellent oyster supper at their residence.
Several fine soloists were present, render
ing songs, Duets, etc., and with the in
strumental music added not little to the
enjoyment of the occasion.
