pleasant surprise was given Mr.. and Mrs.
George Shaeffer, of Bachman's Valley, on
Wednesday night, in honor of Miss Cora
Engleman. of Union Bridge, who is spending
short time with them. More than forty
persons assembled at Mr.. Lewis Shaeffer's,
adjoining, and went in body and took COM
plete possession of the house for the evening.
All were bent on having a good time, and we
beligze they did, judging from the noise they
made and the disappearance of the good things
at lunch. Among those present from dis.
lance were Miss Emma Wampler, of Ohio;
Miss G. Spurrier, of Mt Airy; Mr.. Dearborn,
of Gettysburg, Pa; two brides and grooms,
Edwin Snader and wife, of New Windsor,
and Fl. Geiman and wife, of the Valley, and
many others. Two clerks of Westminster
seemed to have had serious time in getting
there. One got lost, and was quite late in
arriving with his lady friend; the other, who
had lady friend in the country, went down
the lane at the lady's house, and, becoming
stuck in the snow drift, was compelled to get
out, unhitch the horse, turn the sleigh around,
and go to the house through the field. He
had the same difficulty to contend with after
getting his lady before arriving at the party
but this time had more trouble and greater
responsibility. He placed his lady friend in
the drift, unhitched and turRed the sleigh
around again, and arrived safely at last. Both
are now suffering with severe colds, caused
by the unexpected exposure of the evening.
No doubt the gentleman will quit selling
calico and notions il he has many more snch
