hugging black cat which WAS presented
him by several ladies as reminder of the
pleasant hours which they enjoyed to-
gethet.
Ooe other little fellow was supposed by
the ladies to be single gentleman. but
their hopes were blasted when they saw
him leading around very small dog at
tached to very large rope. They then
knew that that fellow had wife.
One chap was Dragging about having
completed all arrangements to take home
with him Virginia bride, but the boys
took his joke in such earnest that they
made break for the Clerks Office to ex-
anime the marriage register. The Clerk,
however, was in the secret and was as
silent as death. Their next effort TO as
certain the truth of the affair was sur
prise.-They invited the groom 70 umpire
q game of base ball, and when he accepted
they discovered the fraud for they
knew that no newly married man would
umpire game of base ball.
The ladies say that one of the most
accommodating men in the club was the
smiling Baritone, who could have more
engagements at the same time than any
one they ever knew. When they com
pared notes they learned shat be had
fifteen engagements TO be in fifteen
different places at the same time.
The Jules Verne committee man re-
turned safely from New Market on
Wednesday morning to the great delight
of the club, as many Of them supposed
that he conld not spend a night in safety
in that town. He, however, swears that
the York people may starve for partridges
and venison, before he will ship any more
to that market.-Yet he holds the belt.
The camp serensdes by the Rat-ta-ts-ta
band under Director Acker was very high
" appreciated. In Que or two instances
the parties serenaded were so overcome
that they could scarcely leave the camp.
The drowsy god was baDished from the
camp and one poor fellow whose health
could not bear the strain, sought shelter
in neighboring farm house. It's Ever

Mr.. Wilson selected very elevated spot
for the location Of his new barber-shop.

The game Of base ball between the
Club nine and the Valley Stars was wit
messed by large number of ladies and
gentlemen. The ladies watched the
members of the club and the gentlemen
watched the game. II was very inter
estng-in seven innings they lost five
balls. we are informed. The batting was
fearful and the score was beyond record.
The encounter with a huge female
black bear, the slaughter OF the old one
and the captur eof the cubs will be re-
peated with thrilling interest TO the
friends at home.
The body of the venomous rattlesnake
was left in the deep gully at the foot OF
the mountain, but his rsttles neatly en-
cased in a jewelry box will remind the
present owner Of his narrow escape.
This was Mr.. wagley's first visit TO the
South and some OF the club could not un-
derstand what he meant by his frequent
repetition OF Horace Greeley's advice
"go west, young man, 90 west" In spite
Of this he proposes to come to the Valley
and buy farm.
We are indebted IN no small degree to
Mr. Geo. Clnedinst, the advance agent,
for this pleasant summer visit. Some OF
the club at first. thought he had not made
a thorough examination of the grounds
but ibis IS all mistake, for we know that
while the camp was at Woodstock en-
Toying themselves, George was examining
the valley for future camp. He drove
from Woodstock, up the Valley four times,
and then went to New Market and drove
down the Valley twice. He has found
the best place IN the State for a camp.
On Monday night, Mrs Laughlin and
