Llharallty Of the Seneca People.

Seneca, November 2t.--'POssum hunt
ing has proved II pleasant diversion from
affairs ordinary the past fcw weeks and
wo suppose Il body is forgiven for saying
'possrm, 'tatcrs and simmons.
That Seneca people arc a liberal peo.
pic has been strikinGly demonstrated by
the handsome manner in which thcy
have recently responded to the following
worthy causes: AZ the oyster supper
given for Tie benefit of the fourth and
fifth grades Of the graded school, a hand
some sum was realized. Fast upon this
Was tho call for contributions for re-
building tie dining hall at Thornwcll
Orphanagc. Following close upon this
came the oyster supper given by the
ladies Of tho Methodist church, both re-
cciving most lihora, consideration, aud
now We have before us yet two other on
tcrtainmcnts that must appeal strongly
to our liberal hearted ctzens, viz: The
oyster supper to be given early in De
ccmbcr by tho ladies Of tho Episcopal
church and little latcr a bazaar which
will he given by the ladies Of tho Pres.
bytcrian church. Surely our business
men arc long suffering, our good women
untiring! And still our town and our
people wcrc never more prosperous.
