day. The surprise was complete and
enjoyed by All. The company took
complete possession of the place and
proceeded to enjoy themselves with
various parlor games until the repast
was spread, when in behalf of the com
pany in a few fitting words, Mrs.
liarr presented the worthy couple with
dozen silver knives and forks as a
pleasant reminder of the occasion. Mr.

justice to the overburdened tables.
Before leaving the groom favored the
