The Campfire.

The Gen. Humphrey G. A. r.
post and relief corps last s5atur-
day held very enjoyable camp
fire at the court house, the intro
duction to which was a substan-
tial dinner with oysters, pork
and beans and other delicacics
on the bill Of fare, after which
an interesting program of musi
cal and other exercises was giy-
en-, prominent amongwhich were
short speeches by Revs. O. Viii
liams and c. n. Fitch, Prof.
Phillips, Comrades Fitch, Low
THAN and Philip Silcher. 1t was
in fact in honor Of the last nam
ed comrade that the campfire
was gotten up. Mr. Silcher has
leased his farm and on Monday
evening, with his wife left for
the Pacific coast, where he eX~
poets to reside in the future,
making Portland his home. Il
was with knowledge of this in
tention on his part that his com
rades of thepost and relief corps
resolved to have reunion in
campfire before his departure,
and comrade Silcher and his
wife were made the honored
guests of the occasion. A hand
some quilt made by the ladies OF
the corps was voted to comrade
Silcher as the most popular man
ia the post, but after Mr.. oilcher
had won the quilt by an honest
count Of the votes, the ladies'
turned round and presented it to
Mrs. Silcher. A grand good
time was had and the expression
of good will and esteem given by
the grand army friends Of the
family are fully shared by the
neighbors and friends Of Mr..
Silcher generally, who recognize
him as an industrious and up
right citizen and one Of the old
settlers IN this locality who en-
joys the respect and esteem Of
the com munity where he has SO
long resided. He takes with
him their best wishes for contin
ued happiness in his new home.
