the misfortune to lose a few days since.
The present was a• most agreeable stir

meat and cheering me in the day of,
trouble. -T.bie recollection of the occasion
will be kept fresh in my memory till the
end of •life, not 'only on account of the in

anselfish sentiment which prompted It.
May the liberal doilors realize that "it is
more blessed to give than receive."
THE NAIAD •RECEPTION.
The Seventh Annual Reception of Nai
ad Engine Company, No. 2, - was held in
Mercur Hall, on Thursday evening of last
week, and was, in every respect, .a com
plete success. The attendance was by
far larger than. at any of the Company's
previous receptions, nearly three hundred
guests being present in the Hall at nine
o'clock. The Hall was not as elaborately
decorated as on -several previous occa
sions, but nevertheless presented a - very
handsome appearance. • The door was
covered with a white duck carpet,
and the walls were tastefully hung, with
evergreens, pictures, and mottoes, whilst
pendant from the ceiling were several_
bird cages and beautifully :arranged hang
ing ba.skets. In the centre of the east
wad lwas a large horse-shoe, 'nine
feet high. and five feet' broad, covered
with silvered liver, bearing the words
. " Good Luck," 'in gilt letters around it,
laid.iu such a manner as to represent nail
beads, which_ they did most perfectly.
Within the horse-shoe, on a red back
ground, were the words in white letters,
"7th Annual, 1380."- This was decided
ly . the prettiest thing in, the way of deco
ration we have ever seen in the Hall, and
Messrs. LAPLANT and Oitcyrr, who de
signed and - constructed it, were the recip
ienfs 'or many compliments for their skill
and ingenuity. 'lo the left of the horse=
shoe, in gilt letters, were the words,
"Naiad's Welcome," to the right, "Hap
py New Year;" whilst over the main en
trance door to the Hail, was the well
-1 known and wall-deserved motto of the
Company, " First at the Fire." Around
the -Hall, and on the stage—not occupied
by the Orchestra—were arranged opera
chairs for the convenience of the guests.
The Orchestra under. the leadership of
Professor lIENTiI STOLEN, with Miss Pen
itiooma, as Pianist, occupied- a portion
of the stage, and furnished the finest mu
sic everxiveu on a like occasion in this
place. This Was the verdict of all present.
At Mile o'clock ninety-two couples join
ed in the Grand .!arch, and it was nearly
four o'Jock Friday morning when the
last waltz—." Home, Sweet Home," - --was
concluded, and the happy throng, began
to separate. The order of darrzing was
an'excellent one, and comprised sixteen
round - and' the same number of square
dances
Whilst the greater PortionW the large
and brilliant assemblage was composed
of our qwn best citizens, therewere not a
few ladies and gentlemen from labroad,
among whom wore Miss GRACE KINNER,
'Atbens i ; Miss SARAH KINNEY and Miss
Llzzie I GORE, Sheshequin ; Mr. J. B.

attired, Whilst licit a feW of the gentlemen
were iu full evening dress.
The Refrqhments wets served in the'
Green rootn, and` consisted in part of roast
turkey, chicken, pboiled ham and tongue,
and scolloped -oysters, tea and coffee, t
cakes ; jellies , oranges, fete. The waiters
were attentive and and there
was plenty for all who came.
In ascribing credit to whom it belonks
'fur the success of the Reception, for ccr
-tain re*suus, we copy' the remarks of the
representative of the Elmira Free Frees,
with the simple preface that to the untir
ing truirgy and lalnirs of Mr. E. B.
PIERCE, more than to any other individu
al is that success due. The Free PA4ess
says :
"Those who have attended any of the
brilliant receptions held in ,=this city arid
vicinity, need no other desclipt ion of the
one of 'which we write, than to know that
it was fully equal to the' best of them.
Taken as a whole, tile reception was, in-'
deed, a grand
.suess. The committees
having it in charge, and to whom, in a
'great measure its success is due, were as
follows : •
Managers (white badge) —C. P.

The committees were unremitting in
and their most sanguine ex
pectations have been realized."
AT a regular meetitig of Naiad Engine

A FLEA FOR BRAKEMEN
Ku exehange suggests that a society for
the prevention of -cruelty to brakemen is
needed to remedy some of the dangers to
which this class- is exposed during the,
rush of business that is now cumbering
all the tailroads of the country. Scarcely
a day passes that the death or injury of
some poor . brakeman is not; recorded in
our daily papers. 'The railroad Magnates
are evermakiug improvements by adding
more powerful engines to haul Imigor
trains_; the cars ate made higher to con
tarn more freight ; and while thus adding
' to the risks of the . : brakeman, - - little is
done to avert accidents. For wane of a
proper uniform . system of coupling and
uncoupling cars, the brakeman has ,to
venture between the cars, etc., etc. All
this is true, but ub remedy is suggested
Iby the humane writer, - .

ed an invitation to be present in ' the - ev
ening.at the public installation of. thelof
floors elect of Perkins Post, No. 20 1 2, G.
4. R., and attentthe camp-fire. •
O'l
seven o'clock the company began to
gall rin their ball in Eastabrotdc's Block,
N .In the public ball in the same build
i the ladies were busily 'engaged pre-
Paring the tables for the repast that was
tolollow the ceremonies.
•
'Perkins Post Band furnished excellent
music, and after the opening exercises
Post Department Commander C. T. HULL
was introdticed as Deputy to install the
officers-elect, which ho proceeded to . do in
a graceful manner, according to the ritual
of the order. .
Then followed the song, "Tenting
To-Night s " by the members, after which
the newly installed 'Commander, ELY
WRIGHT, was called upon to address. the
meeting..
Mr. WILIGELT introduced., himself in a
facetious manner, and after compliment
ing thote present and thanking the com
rades for the honor conferred upon him,
made a few happy hits. and sat down
amid general, applause and mirth.
The song, "Marching Through Geor
gia," was sun g di the old time manner
and spirit, when Post Commander, LAP
AYF.TTE ANSON being called for, made
short remarks, which were received with
cheers.
Joitx BEAMAN.
Comrade HULL then read a short sketch
froth which it appears that the Post was
established nine years ago with thirty
charter members, Captain E. A. SrALD
ING, Commandcr One hundredand twen.
ty-five in all have been mustered, and si,x.-
ty-five are on the roll. Six have died in
the time.
Over one thousand dollars, each, has
been distributed-in the time, besides large
amounts in other ways, and the sick have
been taken carp of by friendly hands, and
orphans assisted to become useful mem
bers of society, and all without display.
The Post has been honored by Wei State
.Department of the Order, one d their
number serving as Commander of it,. and
they have been instrumental in organizing
thirteen other Posts also. Comrade 1ft.71.1.
closed his sketch with _ interesting and
touching references to the Post, paYing
tribute to the memory of those who ale
beyond the sound of bugle or trumpet
blast. The Post was named iu honor of
AtmusTus S. Pr.untris. who fell upon the
field of Fredericksburg. We have men
tioned all who have been Coinmanders
of it.
Another sung, "Rally Round the Flag,"
was sung, after vi hich .Comiado p. C.
GdAY gave a stirring poetical addre4t, en
titled, "The Days . When We Wore the
Blue," which was descriptive of CO past
and fall of loyal sentiments.- •
The programme being closed, the
guests of the evening were presented, be
ing Captain OLMSTEAD, of Binghamton,
and his son HARE; who holds a first
place as a heroic youth for services at the
Newtown Centennial. He appeared and
and bowed his acknowledgment upon be
ing called for, and Captain OLMSTEAD re
sponded iu a few. brief sentences to the
calls for him. lie is a :,Icasant, genial
gentleman, and Captain of the first prize
artillery company of New York State mi
litia. His son is a modest boy, and a fa
vorite with the ladies.
Ex-Sheriff SPALDING and Dr. E. P. AL
LEN were called for, and responded in fit
ting terms, atter which the band played
all air and the formal exercises were
ended.
The invited guests were escorted to the
dining hall, hero they with the soldiers
and their families were served with a
bountiful repast. The remainder of the
evening was devoted to social amuse
ments, the old tine games being' intro
duced among others, none of the ladies
thinking it a dishonor to play "Snap and
Catch 'Ern," with the veteran's of. many
battles. We thought as we looked upon
the old flag with its scars and stains, of
the men who first enlisted and bore it, a
present from the ladies of Athens, down
the valley towards the scene of strife. in
April, 1801, and of those who never re
turned to greet friends . and kindred, and
said to.ourselves, it is meet and proper
that they should be honored and their
memories cherished. Well remembering
the pleasant day of their, departure, and
the anxious looks of old men, the cheerful
faces of the young ) and years of trial that
followed, we say : Honor to the fallen,
and to the survivors encouragement and
sympathy in trials!
To Comrades Ilum. and 111N•rox we ex
tend personal thanks, and to all our best
wishes for long life and happiness.
