A Reception and Surprise TO Mr..
and Mrs. W. Oee.

During the evening of the Sth inst,
large number of carriages and
saddle horses were grouped around
the residence of j. W. Colville, Esq,
at Paia. However, it was not in
honor of this gentleman that the
evenings festivities were intended,
but by kind favor his grounds and
mansion were used as a rendezvous.
Soon the procession and cavslcade
moved downward into the heart of
New Scotland" where recently a
newly welded pair have established
their cosy and pretty home. There
was hitching of horses, lowering
of lights, huttering, q. whispering,
a shout on the veranda, and then
good evening, Mr.. and Mrs. Ogg-
weren't you awfully surprised?n
After the smiling, nervous confes
sion,-the guests took possession of
the household and the tongue of
sociability began to wag. Then an
interval, and then a literary pro
gramme of Simon pure Scotch ma
ture was introduced. There was
piano solo, a reading from Bobby
Burns. Scotch solo or two, duet,
readings by Americans present of
selections from Scotch poets, which
attempt caused much merriment,
especially the awarding of two
Scotch cakes to Rev. 7. L. Gulick as
the first prize, some excellent recita-
tons, and last but not least, the
highland reel danced by four brawny
men from the bonnie country"
Most of the ladies and gentlemen
present were either natives of Scot
land or could claim Scotch descent,
and so it was most appropriate that
before farewells were uttered, "Auld
Lang SyDe" should be sung, clasped
hands and swinging arms beating
time to that pathetic old tune. That
every one OF the large party present
passed an enjoyable evening, goes
without saying.
A FAREWELL PARTY.
Miss Irene Stiles, who has been
teaching in the East Maui Seminary
for several years, will soon depart to
her Ohio home. Last evening, the 10th
instant, just after pleasant dinner
party given in her honor by Mrs. II.
g. Alexander, of Makawao, large
company of young friends burst in
upon the post-prandial chat, and the
second surprise of the evening was
recorded.
After the hustle of arrival had sub
sided, and thoughts bright, new and
otherwise had been interchanged,
resort was made to the large dining
hall and games and laughter filled
out the remaining evening hours.
True it is that this farewell festivlty
was not at all of lugubrious nature,
still regrets are many, deep and sin
cere at the approaching departure of
a most popular young lady who,
socially and in every way, has merited
the esteem of her many friends in
the district.
Postscript: Any lover of that an
cient game, Dumb Cranbo, who
wishes to completely nonplus and
overwhelm the opposing side, should
mildly and innoceutly suggest the
acting of word that rhymes with
play and If their opponents should |
ever by accident or by deep study of
Worcester represent "sley," they |
would prove infinitely more fortunate |
than a 6evy of young people at Mrs.
AIexander's on this Friday night.
