A number of young ladies and gentlemen of
Washington and vicinity have been sojourning
for some days past at "Vine Crest" Falls
Church, and the manner in which they have
been "whooping it up" in that usually quiet
hamlet has made the denizens open their eyes in
wonder From early morn until dewy eve the
bellies and beaux from the Capital City have
kept the little village in constant state of eX-
citement. Tennis, croquet, swinging, horseback
and buggy riding have been the order of the
day-and of the night, too, for that matter.

spirits of the party suggested change of pro-
gramme in the way Of "straw ride" Two
enormous wagons were filled with straw and
the straw filled with gay young people bent
upon lark. To one of the vehicles Il four
horse team was attached, and to the other
couple of great numbering oxen hitched, and
away the merry group went through the village,
making the most unearthly noises with tin
horns, cow bells, old pans and kettles, and
whatever else they could lay hands on. Bedlam
broken loose would be tame exhibition in
comparison. An old darkey on street corner
observed the procession pass, and then with
protruding eyeballs turned and fled. The party
proceeded to the camp-meeting in Crossman's
Grove and witnessed the exercises, being much
edited by the same Thence they proceeded
