her friends knew OF this fact was evil
denced by the arrival at the family
residence in Tontogany of a number OF
acquaintances and friends from Toledo,

Shortly after the guests had arrived
and were enjoying themselves in the
parlor, Mrs. Gundy was called to the
dining room to look after the banquet
that the friends we're preparing and
while thus engaged an elegant banquet
lamp was brought into the parlor
ready to be presented. Upon her re-
turn to the parlor, N. S. Jones, who
had been delegated to represent the
friends, addressed Mrs. Gundy in a
short, but exceedingly appropriate
speech presenting her the lamp as a
gift from the friends assembled. This
was complete surprise to the lady
who was visibly moved by this display
OF friendship. She replied very briefly
and asked Mr.. Wetmore to more fully
express her thanks, which he did in
words beftting the occasion.
The gift is one of which any person
might feel justly proud.

rades of Mr.. Gundy who, on many prior
occasions, had had numerous oppor-
tunities Of enjoying the kindly hospi-
tality of comrade Chris and his esti-
mable wife and who took this occasion
to make known their appreciation o.
former kindnessGs.
The evening was enjoyed in a happy
manner un ill the announcement of
supper when those old soldiers, and
other guests could hardly be re-
strained from doing themselves great
harm in their eudeavors to dispose Of
all the good things set before them
But there is even limit to the capac
ity of IL member of company X, and
Wetmore and Wright really did find
it necessary to leave the table at last,
but true to the natural instincts of the
company, Wright had napkins in his
pocket while Wetrnore had whole pie
under his coat and three extra pieces
of cake under his vest.
After supper r. w. johnson, who
seemed 10 he master of ceremonies,
produced tine necessary musical instru-
ments and with the help of one of the
gentlemen present furnished music b.
which the guests enjoyed several good
old fashioned quadrilles.
Those who know comrade E. G. Wet
more are aware that he has powerful
appetite for pie, fin fact the only rea-
son he objected to being taken prisoner
was because they didn't serve pie in
rebel prisons) and in order 10 make up
the loss of pie on former occasions he
was presented with beautiful sample
of pastry baked for this occasion, the
presentation speech belng made by
Sam Jones, and no treasure was eyer
guarded more faithfully than was this
one.
1t was not until the 4:30 train arrived
that the party dispersed and the guest:
from Toledo departed, after wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Gundy a cordial goot
morning and many returns of the oc-
casion.
