Surprise Party.

The home of Hugh Hanna, was the
scene ofa notably enjoyable social oc-
casion on Saturday evening the 3rd inst.
Thirty three years previous to wit, on
the 3rd day of October, 1868, what was
regarded as a very important event, oc-
Cured in the Hanna family in the Buck.
eye state. The important event referred
TO was the advent upon the worlds stage
of the infantile Hugh.
This last anniversary of that event
would have passed unnoticed had
Hugh's better half been as thoughtless
as ne, but regarding the occasion as be-
ing one worthy of being fittingly cele.
brated, she proceeded with, and COM
pleted, unknown TO him, all necessary
preliminary arrangements for what
proved to be, not only a most complete
surprise to Hugh, but to all who were
so fortunate as to be present upon the
occasion, a most pleasant and enjoyable
affair. When Hugh entered his home
at the usual hour in the evening, he was
confronted with so large a number of
ladies and gentleman that his first
thought was that he had mis;aken the
house and had unwittingly intruded his
presence upon some public gathering.
His confusion was only temporary
however, the true status Of the situation
readily dawning upon his mind, when
his wife questioned him as to the day
of the month. After haying fully recov
cred his self possession, his attention
was directed to an elegant parlor chair,
the gift Of the ladies' present, which he
was requested 10 occupy. The occasion
was now becoming intensely interesting
and he naturally wondered what would
be the next important feature. His sus-
pense was Of short duration, as the feast,
a vertiable banquet, replete with all of
the "out Of sight" delicacies obtainable,
was o 0 announced. This pleasing
feature concluded music, both vocal and
instrumental, followed to charm the ear
Of the happy throng. Games of various
kinds furnished agreeable pastime, and
social converse, always pleasing, was en-
joyed to a late hour, when the good
nights were said, and the guests retired
all earnestly uniting with Hugh in the
ardent wish that the OCCASION would be
duplicated many times in the future life
history of Mr.. Hanna. Among the num-
Der participating in the pleasures Of the
occasion we note Mr.. and Mrs. ID. L.
Dandy, Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Barnett, Mr..
and Mrs. John McFadden, Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Rogers, Mr.. and Mrs. A. j.

in the nations integrity, in her citizens
Willingness to vindicate her honor. and I
know there will be no reputation of this
nations just debts; this country will

plause which had hardly died out when
DR.. Hoyt commenced broke out wildly
long before he ended the above remarks.
and sounded again and again. Continuing
his address, DR.. Hoyt alluded to John
Pounds, who stood alone against the in
difference of England to the needs of the
poor, and founded the ragged schools
for the instruction OF poor children Will
lam Cary led the foreign missionary
movement of the whole world. The drifts
which DR.. Hoyt Gays Sabbath school
teachers have to stand against are Sab
bath dissertation, poor preparation, need
less criticism and failure of personal at
tempts. In illustration of this first drift
Mr.. Hoyt said Robert Burdette said that
oliver Wendell Holmes once remarked
that he was nearly killed by the Puritan
Sabbath, to which Burdette replied, if
the Puritan Sabbath turned out such
men as that he wished we had it now.
The flag was not born in a Sunday liquor
selling Chicago saloon" DR.. Hoyt closed
with a stirring appeal to the teachers to
do better work, for they have a wonderful
responsibility.
