One of the most pleasant and enjoy- - able occasions of the Christmas holi days was the dinner given at the New berry Hotel on Tuesday afternoon to the Excelsior Fire Company by W. H. Hunt, Jr., Pres:dent; John M. Kinard, Vice-President; and M. Foot, Jr., See retary. The Goddess of Pleasure held high carnival for two hours, and there was not an occurrence during the tine to mar the festive occasion. The dinner as prepared by :.1r. Crouch and his estimable wife was such a feast as is ra-ely enjoyed in New berry, and for that matte: anywhere else. No pains were spared by them to meet the wants of the miout fastidi-T ous epicure. We think we can truth fully say that we never attended a dinner or gathering that was so um1 versally enjoyed. The kindness and thoughtfulness of the officers who gave it we feel sure is appreciated by the niceubers of the company The following is the menu as spread by Mr. Crouch: n >lue 'oitntyrs. StIewed.
