me Grangers' supper.

Last Saturday was a gala day with the
members of Woodstown Grange, No. Q, p.
of III. The notable feature of the occasion
was an oyster supper given by the broth
ers. Woodstown Grange is 4 live. active
order, composed of an intelligent, well-to-
do membership, and is second to none in
the State in numerical strength. This
Grange has never been dominated by the
money-getting idea that wrecked so many
oranges. From the first it entered into
the spirit and purpose of the founders of
the Order, which was a social and intel
lectnal culture of its members. For years
it maintained the Cleaner, a paper edited
and read in the grange; and many Of its con
tributions were worthy ola place. in the lead
ing magazines ofthe day. This Grange has
taken an interest i'll social. financial, and
political questions, and has intelligently
and ably discussed them in grange meet
ings. 1t has given, at times, valuable aid
to the State Board of Agriculture in its
endeavors to advance the agricultural in
terests of the State. 1t has had its inilu-
ence through the State Grange in directing
the trend of State legislation. 1t is cem-
posed Of active, intelligent members, aud
we venture to say there are but few organ
cations of the kind with a higher moral
and intellectual standard. Some months
ago the sisters of the Grange. in order to
vary the literary exercises. proposed four
entertainments; two to be given by the
brothers and two by the sisters. These
exercises were to consist of music, dia-
logues, reeitations, essays, etc, each to be
accredited so many points, and the SD
securing the greater number OF points to
have an oyster supper at the expense of
the losing side. Tho arrangements We're
completed and each side entered into TIE
contest with zeal and a determination To
win. The brothers thought they had a
sure victory. but they had not computed
the strength of their antagonists, and the
sisters soon became imbned with the idea
OF the great leaders of their sex-that ef
woman's equality, and proceeded at once
to demonstrate that idea. The brothers
became sensibly impressed at the first en-
tertainment that the contract they had ON
hand was no halliday picnic and then
and there realized the fact that they were
confronted by an army of Amazons Tor
determination and intellectual strength.
They were impelled to the conviction that
it was necessary to draw on all their re-
serve force or suffer defeat. The gods.
however, were on the side OF the sisters,
and after all their efforts, the brothers
were lonorabiy and unquestionably de-
feated, and the result OF the defeat was
the oyster supper, of which we have spok-
en-. The brothers felt they owed it to the
sisters to make the occasion as pleasant as
possible, consequently it was arranged that
the collation. should be given at The beau
tiful East avenue hotel. Over Il
