per was served which was most
elegantly prepared. After this
came the cake which was rich in
variety, quality and abundance.
There were about thirty present
and every one had a splendid time.
The pastor, Rev. r. x. Stephenson,
took home a good fee and bundle
of cake.
Jenny" McClusky's luck does
not often leave him, but it did Sat
urday and the effect can be i'm
agined. His COW, and if it wasn't
good it wouldn't be like the kind
he usually keeps, got her head in
hole, presumably to take an OBJ
servation of a green clover lot, and
in the effort to get it out, broke
her neck. 1t is somewhat of a
jump from a dead COW to a fine lot
of wheat, but if there is a better
half acre of this article in the linn
its of the town than that of "Jem-
my" McClusky's we haven't seen
it.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Truax of
this town have a pleasure not
vouchsafed to many parents to see
all their children not one of whom
has been ought but a comfort and
consolation, married and happily
settled in life. They number eight,
if we have counted them all, be-
sides the two eldest who died sew
eral years since, but not until they
had married, numbering ten all |
told. Except the sorrow occasion |
ed by the visitation of death
which respects neigther age nor
circumstance aged couple /
have nothing perhaps than this in
their whole history with their chill
dren to add wrinkle to their
brow. The youngest and last was
married last week.
HIGH TIDE big Easterly
winds of last week eliminated on
Friday evening in the highest tide
that has visited our shore since the
tidal wave" of October '76 and
the highest that is remembered so
late in the spring. All the cause
ways passing over tide water
streams were submerged and the
water in some places driven up
into the corn and wheat fields. Mr..
Ford in VIII ite Hall Neck had
field of newly planted corn of
about 30 acres overf1owed. At Col
ins Beach the bath houses were
washed from their foundations and
would have been lost perhaps but !
or the fact that they were secured !
oy chains. The waves striking
against the stone pier would throw $
he spray as high as a house.

THE LATE STORM storm e
yhich prevailed from Tuesday of n

e remembered for its heavy winds =
nd tide, chilliness almost down to u
ae snow point, and flooded condi- e
on of the low lands. The storm 2
roper began on the evening of the i
tn when the storm center was in u
le Central Ohio Valley. Saturday N
le center was in Maryland and p
irginia and here on Sunday. The G

rees. The 1st and End days of 4
le month were perfectly clear; 81
le Bird and 9Th were clear in the ;
but cloudy and rainy in p
ne evening. On the other eight a.

ill thus be seen that the month N
