Danbury.
A CATHOLIC RECEPTION.

Friday, last week, the l7th, was a great day for Danbury's Catholic cti- zens, or rather the evening of that day The Dauntless club had grand recep tion, with all that present day recep- tion means, and represented as brilliant and every way first class. Their rooms are in La Rue's new block on Main street, and were tastefully and beauti- fully decorated by the New Haven deco rative company. Music was furnished by the Second Regiment band. Dancing was under the direction of Prof Nutting who seems to have made reputation here in his line of art. Wessell, the lunch man, proved himself qualified to admins ter physical comforts to exhausted danc- CTS. It is agreed by all that the affair was a success, decidedly. The whole was under the general management of J. P. Walsh, William H. Foley, J. A. Quinn, William McPheIemy and Thomas Meath who are denominated the govern ing board.
 WERE YOU BORN IN MARCH?
 March is on, sure, and about an aver age sample. One that we know says that wrestling with March is his special ty. He ceriUifies that he was born in March and is thoroughly conversant with all it's eccentricities. And his birth was on Friday, March Friday. He says if he were to be born dozen times ;y ha lp3t ha in TTo is of the opinion that his birth has infiu- enced his whole life to this day. Ones birth is apt to. He says that all March happenings are little off, and has a baleful influence on the emotions. The sun takes the opportunity for ''crossing the line,'' bringing over storms and tenn pests, angry winds and mad cyclones, and tempers. It is the link between win- ter and summer, or, in fact, may be re- garded as the caudle appendage of win ter, and has foolish way of wagging | towards spring which is alway coy and tolerates no familiarities from such a chilling presence, and has no willing lap | for lingering. A month of amending unpleasantness, ice, mud, frost, squalls, frost again, clouds, rains, snows, sleet, through the whole round of perplexities. Our friend had just had trying exper- ence. He had been out to the grocers on domestic expedition. Coming in he I slipped on a glacier of recent formation
 He dropped suddenly, but notwithstand. ing his celerity dozen eggs that he was tenderly carrying got there first. The eggs immediately began to spread an albumen plaster, thinking, probably, (if | eggs think, of bruises that needed atten | tion. But we forbear to go further into this particular March unpleasantness | His verbal account should not be repeat ed here. If his words. uttered when he | arose, and contemplated his exposition thaw out when winter gives up it's SC crets, and float on the spring breezes people will wonder what mad spirits are abroad. Our friend puts up with wha, cannot be helped. Which is philosophy He put up with this. He had to. In al mundane affairs and human relations he has the American characteristic of mak l ing a joke of the kaliedescopic happen 1 ings and odd freaks of a whimsical race extracting fun out of everything except
 real calamity, which is better than cap tions criticism and useless whining
 Joking aside, March is useful in it's place
 So is any means of gree. It would be
 missed out of the if knocked out of its
 place. So was Judas.
