"These delights, if thou canst give, Mirth with thpe mean to Iiypo


 Last Friday evening, a large party of ladies and gentlemen were entertained at the home of Mir and Mrs Edgar F. flaw ley, The arrangements made for the re- ception of the company were of the most elaborate kind. Mir and Mrs Hawley played the part of host and hostess to perfection and were in their choicest mood. The parlors were nicely decorat- ed, the bright and beautiful flowers of Autumn showing themselves conspfcu- Ously in every nook and corner. Tea was served at 6 30 and the viands, of which there was great variety, were of the most recherche character. Progress sive whist succeeded the cups and saul cers, which was continued amid the busy hum of talk until II 30, when the prizes won by the successful players were dis tributed. There were four prizes, two for the best players and two for the un- fortunates. The first prize for ladies was gained by Miss Mamie Glover, after spirited contest with Mrs Beardsley and Miss Sanford. It was d handsome bound copy of Tenny son's 'Lady Clare" The first for gentlemen was obtained by A. II. McIahon, d beautiful silk plush brush holder. The two booby prizes were, after steady and persevering play on the part of the recipients, won by Mrs Eli Beers and C. F. Beardsley. Mir Beardsley was presented with two hand some darkies in long clothes, very ser ious addition to his already growing fam fly. This remarkably pleasant evening was brought to close by Misses Judson and Sanford discoursing the sweet strains of some delightful music and every one parted feeling that the evenings diver sions would bear the mornings reflect ions.
 The following persons were present: Mir and Mrs Henry G. Curtis, Mir and Mrs Eli E. Beers, A. F. Clark, Misses Glover, Mrs E. 5. Beers, Miss Tanie SaE- ford, Mrs Crockett, Mir and Mrs C. F. Beardsley, Miss Grace Judson, Miss Lil- lie Farman, Mir and Mrs A. IT, McMa- hon New Milford. Prof Lowson, Charles G. Peck, Rev G. NJ. Wilkins, Miss Mar tina Wilkins, R. II. Beers.
