Shower Party.
Last Tuesday evening when
Miss Linnie Murphy returned
from a business trip to Portland
she found about 25 of her friends
gathered at the home of her par
ents for the purpose of giving her
a surprise shower in honor of her
approaching marriage.
She was presented with a beau
tiful silver fruit basket, a drawn
work linen doily ?nd a Shakes
perian birthday book with the
names of all the guests written
in it.
Games and pleasant pastimes
were the order of the evening.
Among the interesting features
of the evening was an Indian
marriage ceremony.
Delicious refreshments were
served among 'which was the
brides cake with its usual com
plement of fortunes, causing a
great deal of merriment.
At a late hour the clear notes of
the piano rang out the tune of
Auld Lang Syne and all joined in
singing that old familiar song and
they departed for their homes de
claring themselves to have pass
ed a most enjoyable evening and
expressing a hope that Miss Lin
nie would have a long and happy
life.

A man oi' the. name of Walker,
who lived in Mansfield, Cattaraugus
county, X. Y., about 1857, bought a
black mare in Canada, Afler hav
ing her a few years lie sold her to a
minister, who had her bred. When
her colt was ubov.t five months old
the minister emigrated to the we. t
and shipped the mare and colt at
Buffalo on a vessel for Chicago with
himself and family.
The boat encountered a terrific
gale soon after leaving Buffalo and
came near going to pieces. Every
thing that in any way was thought
to relieve the danger was thrown
overboard. Anion: t' rest were

A Truthful Scholar.
I met an honest boy this morn
ing," said a man who is fond of chil
dren, "lie was a Tittle round faced,
blue eyed chap with a stack of books
under his arm, going to school a
fast as his feet would earv him.
'Do you like to go to school, Ud?' I
asked him. 'No, thir,' he- lisped,
giving me one brief honest look and
hurrying on past. Most children
would have said yes, to make a hit
with yon. but this boy was not that
kind." Philadelphia Ledger.
of other horses. The bont finally
weathered the storm and arrived
safely at Chicago.
The minister was repaid for his
marc and colt. He wrote Mr. Wal
ker about it and raid, although he
received ample pay for the mare
ard colt, it nearly broke his heart
when lie saw them struggling in the
water, where they must shortlv
drown in the' waves of old Lake
Erie.
Soon after this Mr. Walker re
ceived a letter from the man of
whom he had bought the mare in
Canada, saying he was thunder
struck one morning to find the
black mare, with a fine colt by her
side, standing by the old barn door.
How she got there was the puzzle.
Had Mri Walker sold her to some
one in Canada or how was it that
she came back home?
Finally the thing was explained.
The boat happened to be some
where near where the mare was
raised, and when 6he was thrown
overboard she must by some sense
have found out she was near her
old home, started that way and was
followed by her colt. The man said
he would never let her again be tak
en from the farm if he could help
it, but was willing to pay for her.
How it was at ,last settled I never
learned, but many old residents of
Cattaraugus county will remember
the circumstance, which was consid
ered a remarkable happening. Em
