A delightful dance was given In Vienna
last night the feature of which though not
new In idea was certainly novel in exper-
fence to most of those participating. It
was leap year affair. Dainty hand-paint-
ed dancing orders tied with red silk were
passed around, and the feminine portion of
the company tried hard, but unsuccessfuliy,
to lay aside their natural diffidence and
boldly solicit dancing partners, and the
men just as vainly endeavored to receive
these advances with becoming modesty.
There was provided every arrangement
conducive to good time. and the dancing
began shortly before o o'clock, and con-
tinued with but short intermiss;ons until
the early morning hours. delightful
supper was served during the evening
The host and hostesses were Mai. o. e
Hfne, Mrs. Hine, Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs
Raymond Barnes. Besides these there were
present from this village Miss Katrina
Hine, Miss Huntington, Miss Louise Hunt
ington. Miss Maud Powell, Mrs. King, and
Messrs. Guy Huntington, Frank Williams
and Geo. King.

to attend the festivities, among them be-

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE.

Considerable excitement was caused a
few days ago by a peculiar discovery in
Snakeden, region near here. Snakeden
was until recently an almost impenetrable
swamp, covered with trees, similar to
Dismal Swamp. On account of the drouth
which has prevailed IL this part of the
country for several months past this place
has almost completely dried up.
A young man from the city hunting in
that neighbortood came across what look
ed to him like scaftoid. from which hung
rope, to which was attached part Of a
skeleton. He gazed in horror for a few
moments and then fled from the place with
out investigating further. The story rap
idly spread and rumors of suicide and muir
der filled the air. An Investigating party
was organized and 1t was found that the
PORES were not those of a man, as the
young hunter had supposed, bat of a cow
The rope and derrick had, no doubt, been
used In fruitless att ,mpt to extricate the
beast from the mud into watch it had sunk.
A very enjoyable social was held Thurs
day evening, at the residence of Mr. Man.
rice Bond. The games, vocal and e'instru-
