Reported for the Democratic Advocated
One of the most pleasant social events of
the season was party held at the hospitable
home of Mr. Samuel Knox on Thursday even
ing of last week. A large company of young
folks assembled about s o'clock, and the
evening was spent in social intercourse and
amusements, until a late hour, when all were
invited out to the table, which was heavily
laden with the delicacies of the season, to
which all did ample justice. All seemed
sorry when the hour for departure came but
were satisfied that a more genial host and
hostess than MIR. and Mrs. Knox can not be
found.
Among those present were: Misses Minnie
and Ella Mehring, Frances Erb, Jane Ying-
ling, Eliza Knox, Ella Robinson of Gettys
burg, Pa; Maggie Yiugling, Minnie Harner,
Agnes Knox, Messrs. Edward Atlesperger,
Jonas and Edward Harner, John Yingling.
Luther Hilterbrick, of Littlestown, Pa; VIII
liam Erb; John, Frank and Robert Knox.

The body of Eva Parker, colored, arrived
here on the noon train on Saturday last. She
died in Baltimore at the residence Of DR..
Wm. E. Moseley, in whose service she was
during this winter. She was to return shortly
to Mr.. Louis Dieman, with whom she prev
iously lived for the past twenty-five years.
She was well and favorably known by large
number of guests who have visited the Hotel
for many years past, and her death caused a
general regret. Her remains were buried on
Sunday by the Nazarite Society and her fu-
neral was attended by large eonconrse of
people. Her age was Al years.
Peter Bale died at noon on Thursday, aged
about IS years. He was retired farmer and

Another instance of President Cleveland S
wonderfully retentive memory has Just been
shown. During the memorable presidential
campaign of 1888 grand Democratic barbe-
cue was held on Governor Browns farm, at
Sykesviiie. On one of the avenues leading
TO the grounds Mr.. James S. Hyatt had nailed
to the side of his carpenter shop canvas
strip, on which appeared, in large letters, the
names of Cleveland, Thurman and Stump"
Stump being then the Congressional candi-
date of this district. After Cleveland de-
feat, Hyatt, nothing daunted, determined to
let the names stay there until Cleveland was
again elected President of the United States.
Four years with its rain and sunshine faded
the names on the canvas, and finally the
winds tore it from the fastening, but, strange
to say, on the weatherboarding underneath,
in plain letters, was the name of Cleveland.
Mr.. Charles r. Favour, of Sykesville, who
is a great admirer of President Cleveland, re-
ferred to this in club meeting, and in pre-
dieting the election of the Democratic candi
date, called it the "hand- writing on the wall )"
He wrote Mr.. Cleveland relating the incident,
and on the 9th of October last received a
reply from him, in which he thanked Mr.
Favour for the kind expression his letter con-
tained and hoped the "hand writing on the
wall, - as he called it, might be IAN omen of
Democratic success"
A few weeks ago Mr.. Favour visited Wash
ington, and in the East Room of the White
House, with hundreds of others, took his
turn TO pay his respects to the President.
When taking the Presidents hand Mr.. Favour
said: .sYou are the first President of the
United States ever shook hands with. Il
am glad to know that, the President kindly
said
Mr.. Favour then said Il am from Sykes
vile, Maryland, do you remember the hand
writing on the waltz s'Indeed / do, said
the President, as Il smile frightened his face,
and tightening his clasp on Mr.. Favour's
hand. he said .'Were you the originator of
that? am glad to meet you.i
