Happy Skye Terrier.

A curious if not wholly pleasing spec- taole for the typical American, especial ly the typical American out of job, is the aristocratic occupant of splendid turnout to be seen on upper Broadway every pleasant afternoon. An open landau, drawn by two handsome dark bay horses, elegantly caparisoned; an athletic looking coachman in light drab, with red trimmings, and occasionally a young footman in the same livery. That is the turnout, and it is quite as swagger thing as is to be seen in that line about New York. The carriage is worth not less than $2, ,500, and the horses and gold mounted harness must be worth as much more, while the coachman and his com panion would have brought cool thou sand apiece before the war, though they are really white and very English, you know.
 The occupant of this swell establish ment is thin, consumptive looking in- dividual called by experts in his kind a skye terrier. Silvered OCT with spiky hair of no particular color, his little beady eyes glistening from the recesses of his moppy weazened countenance, his nose and every other portion of his anatomical system being invisible, this insignificant parsonage sits alone on the back seat, if not grand, at least gloomy and peculiar.
 Within the physical possibilities not remote from the butchers trade he would probably be worth ten cents. Fol my own purposes would unhesitating y say ten cents bunch would be an ex- travagant price for such as he. Yet it takes five thousand dollar turnout and an able bodied coachman and footman to give this poor little critter"-the pet pup of some royal American family-his daily airing.-New York Herald

THE DANCING CLASS RECEPTION.

The dancing class reception given by Miss Mabel L. Watson at the town hall on Monday night was one of the most delightful events in the social life of this vicinity which it has been our pleasure to record Although the wealth CT was very indictment, the heavy snow storm which had been raging all day still continuing unabated, not less than 100 invited guests were present The music was furnished by Reeds banjo quartet (H, D. Reed, lst banjo; Charles Rodemeyer, 2nd banjo; John G. Beck ley, guitar; B. A. Peirce, viol,) which made it's debut most creditably in play ing for dancing. The piano was also re- lied upon part of the time, Mrs A. F.
 Rood, Miss Smith and W. H. Camp playing. Refreshments were served on the stage at small tables by the light of candles in silver candlesticks. The dancing continued until about two o'clock. We must add that the grand march, which was led by Miss Watson and Mir Lyles, won the general admira- tion. Although very intricate 1t was executed most gracefully and with no confusion
