WASHINGTON.
A REAL ESTATE DEAL.
LAST WEEI

Some time ago syndicate composed of J. c. Brinsmade, the master of the Gunnery, Mrs Mitchell, Dr Brown and Leavitt Brinsmade bought the old Brins- made farm of l50 acres, which is situated on the slightly hill east of Washington Green, The price paid for the property was not made public, but it is supposed the figure was about $S00O. Most of the eligible building sites about and within a half mile of Washington Green, have already been bought up by present city residents, Mir Van Ingen controlling many acres. Mir Gold also owns a con siderable real estate about the Green The deal of this new syndicate will open up some valuable building sites, which for situation and beauty of view cannot be surpassed in old Washington. A road to the property has already been opened It passes through land of J. C. Brins- made, who gave the land, the others interested bearing the expense, which must have been in the vicinity of $400. Leavitt Brinsmade some time ago retired from the syndicate, selling out his inter est to one of the three. A small knoll at the foot of the hill will make fine build.

 Calhoun Bros, Grocers; Among the numer. Ous retail grocery establishments ot this city there is not one in more popular favor than that of Calhoun Bros. That it fills an impOr- tant place in the business community has been evinced by the business the firm has done since commencing last August. Success has attended it from the very start and it's bus mess is now of large proportions and con stently increasing. The stock carried here is composed of the best grade of spices canned goods, fruits, produce and a particularly fine line of teas and coffees, of which the house makes speciality. With long experience in the business the firm knows where to buy the finest grade of goods at the best market prices, which is turned to the benefit of their patrons in giving them equally low quotations.

An exercise de- -igned for 9 scholars was particularly pleasing, and vigorously applauded.
 Two little speakers, ju~t able to climb upon the platform, gave special charm to the occasion, and it is hoped that hereafter Miss May North and Mis- Mildred Green will not be forgotten when juvenile recitations are needed A new feature was introduced during the entertainment, in the form of books pre- sented to the scholars, in addition to the usual gifts of candy and oranges. The uperintendent, E. $. Richards, was the recipient of a valuable book, and cups and saucers were presented to some of the young ladies of tbe school. A good choir was formed for the occasion, and assisted by w. North with his cornet, furnished very excellent Christmas music.

 HURD.
 C. R. Hurd was seriously injured, De- cember 2, by his Jersey-Shorthorn bull, as he was leading him from the stable to the lot where he keeps him during the day. MT Hurd has no recollection of the attack and no one saw it, until c. R. Leavenworth, passing by the yard, was attracted to the spot by the furious bark ing of MT Hurd's little dog, Hugo. Look ing through the bars he saw Mir Hurd ap- parentlV unconscious under the fence and the animals horns in his clothes. He at once rushed to the rescue, pelting him with whatever came within reach until he got him through the bar way. Then he almost carried MT Hurd into the house and laid him on the bed. A mes senger was speedily dispatched for pr Karrman, who feared at first that he was hurt internally, but he is improving quite rapidly, though he will carry the marks of the bruises some time. Mrs Hurd is >utfering from an attack of pluerisy.

THAT sALMAaUNDI PARTY.

The Salmagundi party which was briefly mentioned in, last weeks, BEE as coming off at George c. Hopkins on Wednesday evening, deserves more than passing notice. The evening was cloudless and the air crisp. Between 60 and 70 were present to enjoy the enter tainment. Kenney & Hosford's bus at- tached to J. K. Granniss' and kenney and Hosford's horses took up jolly load of 20. Throughout the parlor, sit ting and dinning rooms was 13 games of varied nature going on at the same time. No. l was whist. No was Euchre, No. 3 was old maid, No. 4 was hearts, No. 5 was bean bags and so up to No. l3. Each station and table was occupied by four busily engaged in winning and losing points in nearly as many different games. At about II, the bell rung for the games to cease and the tables soon presented another equally as attractive appearance, being supplied with cold meats, salads, sandwiches and most agreeable to the taste. After the cake and coffee aud ice cream had been en- ioyed, we perceived that E. J. Cable and B. Holcomb had joined the company with violin aud banjo, which with piano accompaniment by Mrs Hosford and others, ssoon aroused the spirits of the guests to that degree that it was with little difficulty chat three sets were formed in different rooms, and pro- gram of quadriles, waltzes and reels were enjoyed for two hours or more most heartily by nearly all present. Ir the small hours therefore of Thursday y morning all bid MT and Mrs Hopkins with their sons, William l.. and Howard C., who had arranged the entire affair a happy good night feeling most grate ful to them for the kind hospitality anG regard extended, and for the pleasant
 evening which had been enjoyed Among the guests we were pleased tt see k. k. Beeman, who arrived tha
