THAT ANTIQUE sOCIABLE.

The antique sociable deserves more than a passing notice. Antiquity was stamped on the attire of large number present. Wedding dresses carefully pre- served from 60 years down to 19 years of age (and even the last was curiosity) were brought out and adorned the wear CTS. There were dresses short and dress es long. Some with hoops and some with none. Caps all ruffies and some more plain. High back combs and pow dered hair. Short knee pants and buck les, too. Swallow tail coats and ear cut ting collars. There were also the old fashioned bonnets and immense cloaks, great huge muffs ard the little comfort foot stove, beside the stove pipe hat. The style of olden times was not forgot ten In the dining room, to be sure. The two-tined forks and tallow dips, old fash toned coffee pot and crockery to match, corn bread, pork and beans, Indian pud- dings and the like. And the sorgs that pleased our ears, rendered so we'll by MT Allen and his helpers, were very appro- priate. Among them was the familiar song ssShould old acquaintance be for got, and never brought to mind?' At suitable hour the guests, numbering over 100, bade their host and hostess good night with the assurance that the even- ing of social mirth had been as good as medicine.

4 RUSH OF SOCIAL EVENTS.


 The full moon of last week was enjoy ed in full measure by few of our folks. On Monday evening a surprise party was given to Dr Griswold of Kent. On Tues day the stereopticon lecture by Mir An drews of Stamford. On Wednesday sing ing school at Gaylordsvllle. On Thurs day the antique sociSble at c. I. Leach's. On Friday the New England supper at Gaylordsville and on Saturday evening the choir rehearsal.
 The stereopticon lecture was very ir- structive and most enjoyable trip for % cents. By proxy we visited Colorado and some of the adjoining states. Of the GA minerals known to man, 62 are found in Colorado: Tin could be procured from the mountains there sufficient for home demands, if the mines were not in the hands of the English, thus obliging us to use imported tin. "The garden of the gods" and it's entrances were majestic. Those who lost this lecture lost a rare treat.

Nothing happens without a reason. Davis & Savard the "up-to-date" cloth iers, matters, furnishers, 429 Main street, are building up flourishins business. If we look for the reason, we shall find it in the fact that they are carrying a splendid assortment of goods at the lowest possible prices, that they are putting the snap and energy into their business which is always sure to bring success. MT Davis is connected with one of the largest houses in Boston in the manufacture of fine clothing, can select the choicest things in the market, can secure the lowest figures possible. MT Savard gives his entire time and at- tention to the store, which is model of perfection in it's arrangement, as well as in it's bountiful supply of everything de- sirable, that money will buy. Their goods are union made, which assures the best of work. All goods are bought for cash, no credit is asked nor given. All transactions are for spot cash. This en- ables them to give their customers the
 
 duced for. When in the city give the new firm a call.
