She did not use the common weapon, the broom suck, out gathered up a barrel hoop and went in on her muscle. The poor fellow was placed in rather an embarassing position, and he just stood out there on the side walk and waited for the old lady to take a rest. But bewly she laid it to him without stopping and when our informant turned the corner, the hoop was still coming down as regular as clock work, and the poor fellow was still playing the martyr.

Dan plead guilty, for that was about the best thing he could do; the rest were innocent at least they thought so, and they wanted his Honor's opinion on the case. He was not slow to express his convictions. after having heard the evidence, and he came down on them 05,00 each and costs. Charles Myers vowed he did not know anything about the place, and Dan Gift only having one eye.

After' supper the party divided and began to introduce games. In this way the time was made to flit merrily by, until a late hour, when all bade adieu to, their host, and started for their homes feeling that it was good to be there Such" occasions. are ones always to be remembered.
