present besides many lads and lassies''
of the neighborhood. The fish were
fried 10y long log fire. while the kettles
steamed with hot coffee, then the feast
was spread, and such an abundance of
everything that was appetizing to eat
and drink would have tempted the most
fastidious. Alter all had finished there
renamed more than enough to feed as
many more.
After dinner thirty one boarded the
large sailboat and embarked on the placid
waters OF the Potomac TO enjoy n sail and
the surroundings were soon echoinc the

(Which generally have to be paid for on
