Pleasant Reception. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Meloy, of near Port Royal, gave a reception to many of the young people of this place, vicinity, and Port Royal, in honor of tbe marritge of their son, Frank, to Miss Nettie Hamlin, of Seattle, Washington Territory, at their borne on last Thursday evening. The yonng conple were married at the home of the bride's mother, in Seattle, on tbe 22nd of February, and started imme diately after tbe ceremony for tbe east. Tbe journey of three thousand miles across thc continent was made with several stops, and they were expected at the home of the groom's parents, in the suburbs of Port Roy al early on Thursday morning, the 10th inst., but on account of unavoidable delays did not arrive nutil tbe evening of that day. It had been previously arranged that tbe invited party from Mifflin, in all, about fifty persons, should go to Port Royal on Mail Train, at 6:13 in the evening, where car riages wonld be in waiting and they would be conveyed to their destination. It was a pleasant surprise to all to find on board the train, ttr. and Mrs. Meloy, to whose reception they were en route. Al all the party were well acquainted with both tbo bride and groom, an informal and jolly crowd surrounded them, extending their congratulations in a friendly, if rather a reckless manner. The newly married pair did not look wearied after their long and tiresome journey, but thoir faces were wreathed in smiles as they received tho congratulations of old friends and acquain tances, a It was dusk bWore tbe last losd of guests bad been deposited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Meloy. Four trips were made by tbe carriages in conveying the guests from the station, and the crowded condition of tbe conveyances made the party a free and ea sy one even betore all bad arrived. After congratulation had been extended to tbe bride and groom by all, the guests began to entertain and amuse themselves in the various ways in which parties do. That the party was jolly and was in for a good time was very evident. 1 be refreshments were tine and nicelv served, and were partaken of bj all, and particularly by the party from Mifflin, who it ia ssid, are good judges ot good things to eat. The noise of the mirth of the party was at its heighth whn the report of a gun was heard, immediately lo'dowed by an impro vised tune on an improvised calithumpian band. Tbe crowd in the house were not even startled and scarcely seemed aware of the music ol another parly. In a few min utes after tbe serenade commenced tbe groom, for a juke, accompanied by one ol the young ladies of the party, stepped out on the porch, in the moonlight, much to tbe delight of tbe guileluss sereuoders, who "presed great delight at hiving seen the 1 brida nd s"roulu and quietly shouldered ' lntir n,u'il:,1 instrument and wended their !wav boiuv aid, entirely ijnor.r.t ol tbe ! ac' that Ibey had been imposed upon.

Tbe first load arrived at the station an bour before train ti ne, ai.d Mr. Jacob McNeal, proprietor of tho Tuscarora House, kindly opened bis parlor to the party, where Ibey rem lined until the train bore them away, borne, with kioilly feelings for all whom they bad nut during tbe evening. We all left wishing Mr. and Mrs. Meloy a long, happy and prosperous life. Tbe writer was among the last load that was deposited at the station at 11:50 o' clock P. M., and I lie cro.vii of young peo ple on the platform soctued gratly increas ed as tbey appeared in the pale light of the moon and under the sickly rays of a soli tary street lamp, as they moved about among each other, some were promenading, others were, whs' was strang ?iy tho cse, and what is stranger still, called, "spoon ing." A great deal of "spooning" was no ticed during tho evening, but more partic ularly was it to be seen on tbe piatfurm ia front of the station in Port Royal. Several ol the party, wbo enjoyed thc reception, were conjecturing whether tbey are to receive an invitation to a wedding reception in the m nt:i ol M.y. W. S. Teachers' l.ecal Institute.
