dence OF Mr. p. II. McDermott, on
the evening OF the 10Th, was the
scene of festivities, the occasion be-
ing the Goth anniversary of Oswald,
the third child of Mr.. and Mrs. p. Fl.

Mr.. McDermott made an appropriate
address to his con, which was fol-
lowed by the usual congratulations
and best wishes of the guests. The
floor was then cleared and dancing
was commenced, in which all en-
gagged, to the music furnished by Mr..
McDermott aud others. About mid
night the guests, led by Oswald and
his partner Miss Katie Gheen, were
called to the dining room where a
table had been prepared, the center
Of which was adorned with massive
birthday cake beautifully decorated
with cut flowers. Placed upon the
table were numerous delicacies az
we'll as the best Of substantial foods.
After all had been supplied, danc-
ing was again commenced. Mr.. Mo:
Dermott told your correspondent that
he had never had the pleasure to
learn the art OF dancing, but before
morning he limbered up his weather
beaten legs and actually commenced
I this pleasure. So anxious were the
guests to dance thas dancing was
kept up until aOld Sol" on bis near
approach, began TO streak the east
with gray, when those who had staid
deened il time to retire to their
homes. So ended onS of the most
pleasant events that has happened in
