The HELEN POTTER Pleaides were greeted with a very fair auifience Saturday evening, quite a number of whom came from Dushore. Everybody was delighted and we knew they would be.

We find the following account of a pleasant party assembled in honor of a gentleman well known atul highly respected here, in the Tunkhannock Standard of last week: On Saturday evening of last week between thirty and forty of the friends of lion. F. C. Bunnell met at his residence as a surprise party, it being the anniversary of his birth. It is one of the essential elements of these surprise parties that the "victim" be kept in blissful ignorance of the descent to be made upon him and therefore, being entirely una ware of the scheme of his neighbors and friends, it so happened that Mr. Bunnell chanced to take that day to look after busi ness interests out of town. As he expected to return at 9 o'clock p. ni. no intimation was given him of the party, it being considered best to surprise him on his c-ntering his house. Owing to a failure to catch the train he did not conic and therefore the guests had to give up all hope of seeing their expected host that night. The company, however, had come to enjoy themselves and in that respect there was no failure. Mrs. Bunnell is well known for her hospitality and every one was made to feci perfectly at home. So pleasant ly did the hours pass that it was well nigh Sunday before we had even thought of breaking up. We then took our departure feeling highly pleased with our evening's vi— it and hoping there were many more such pleasing events in store for us and the kind people whose residence was so freely opened.
