gentlemen friends, the success and de-
lightfulness of which has only been
approached by the delightful little party
given by the young gentlemen. at the
City Hall last Thursday evening. Every
one was spelling for good dance and
the Young men seeing chance to re-
ciprocate, were not slow to take advan-
age Of it. Music was furnished for the
occasion by the Lancaster Orchestra
of four pieces, and considering the
short time they had to practice up in,

party vas well attended and passed off
very pleasantly.
The little two year old girl of Mr.. ard
Mrs. Geo. c. Mccarthy, was seriously
injured in the left eye. Friday morning
by small piece of iron that flew from
the snvil while Mr. Mccarthy was at
work in his shop. The child was stand
ing in the door of the shop, a distance
of fifteen feet or more from the anvil,
when the accident occurred. The piece
of iron flew into the eye driving the eve
ball back into the head; total loss of
sight of the eye has doubtless been
caused. Mr.. Mccarthy and wife left
Friday forenoon for Milwaukee with the
child, where the best treatment that can
be procured viii be given the little
sufferer.

the Court House park. until they came
back to the Post Office, where they
stopped, to look at the Weather Signal

pectations of the large audience that
assembled to witness it, was the Senior

House chapel. Monday evening. The
program was carried out in FULL each

train passed through the suburban part
of the city, so the article states, no mat

seen on the platform of the cars waving

married men of the vicinity, who kept

that Fred's inamorata was little four
