Last Saturday evening witnessed the same repetition of events which yearly happen with more or lees accessories. Although the weather was most uupro­ pitious, and the evening was dark, cloudy and dreary, with the northwester fairly bowling and piling huge waves against the deserted beach, the dam never ceased to carry the strain, not only of the great bulk of water above it, but also with­ stood the added tension due to the ex­ cessive increase of lako traffic durirg the early darkness. Several of our real matronly maids, (and all in the party might be thus ad­ dressed for the sake of brevity) wandered from their own firesides and before the clock had stopped striking eight it de­ veloped that this bevy of ladies merely constituted "A Hen Parcy in a Hen House." The infested place was»the pro[>erty of Mrs. Fay, and this woman is doubtless as grateful for these visitors as were they ungrateful for * their choice selection made. During their profound silence of an hour's sojourn their better halves, who were supposed to be scojiring the country in search of the abeentees with bloodhounds and Pinkerton detectives, were pleasantly indulging in entertaining amusements in more comfortable quar­ ters. An hoar later found the light spirited party centered at the residence of O wen and Chapell where a big oyster supper awaited; but a further surprise was in store than had dawned upon the minds of even the instigators of the chase. No doubt these-brave women saw ghosts and all sorts of imaginary things while being rowed across the infuriated waters, but just before the party had begun to partake of the appetizing repast, the former fancies of the weaker sex were proved to be no mere dream, and the party were,startled to find thefrontyard supporting a panorama of ghostly figupes, among which were numbered some of the older and most respected citizens of toe town. They were each caught and when their maskb were re­ moved it usually revealed a sheepish countenance. Dr. Wells was present to attend those who might fall a victim to accident, but fortunately his services were not re­ quired. By Mr. Ray Lamphere's flat­ ness of foot he distinguished himself as deserving a place in the front ranks of amateurs. All voted the eventful even ins as being a booming success, and after seeing Mr. Cristy's burrow safely home the party dispersed during the wee small hours of the morning.
