As Mr.. Olston intent.cd leaving on the

his friends planned an agreeable SUR
prise for him, and his last evening here
VAS one to be long remembered. All
agreed that it Was "a most delightful and
enjoyable OCCASION. As each guest came
in, the name OF some renowned person
was attached to his back, just out of
sight, and he was expected to find out
what character he represented before
the name Mas removed. Henry VIII,
tfiV HuiIiH VI lu'hfN, mNIlit WASH
%ineton, Noah, General Weyler and
Shakespeare were the names of some of
those present. There were guessing
contests OF different kinds. games, acting
charades an Il pirturr charallr. These
charades were examples OF wonderful
iugenuity-hard to guess but very sim
Pile after YOU know them. The game oi
proverbs was quite interesting. In
naming "tish, flesh or foNl \" The alliea-
tor, mule, and ostrich were ciierrful!v
mentioned, and many other amusing
combinations were made.
Delicious refreshments were served,
and it was not until the wee suiall hours
OF the night that the guests departed,
thanks to Mrs. Richardson's queenly
way OF entertaining.
