The Ivy Ctuk Celclratc the Fourth. The Ivy Club, of Middleburg, gave a lawn party at the home of Miss Mar ciu App at Muhantango, on the eve of July 4th. Many frieuiia resiKndel to invitations. Tile members made great prepemtious and being aided through the hospitality of the App family, the party was indeed a grand success. Music Mas furnished Ly the McKees orchestra and the display of fireworks was magnificent. The evening was spent in the diH'ercnt games of interest ana choice refreshments were served in liberal proportions. After lunch the guests were compelled to retreat to the roomy mansion for protection during a thunderstorm. Here they were enter tained by Miss Holniitn, of Liverpool, who recently returned from Chicago where she had received instructions in oratory. She soon convinced the mer rymakers of a wonderful talent as an elocutionist by her recital of a few choice selections of the Shakesiierian order. Many of the friends remained over night ami all seemed to enjoy a few hours sleep with the exception of a few of the ladies who, with the strain and excitement of the evening mi ill ir minds, fancied they were in fidry bun! mascurailing in double file. Breakfast was served in due time afterwhieli the guests departed feeling very thankful that tliarc was an Ivy cluband an App family.

Hcrrold nnd W. H. Richenbauch. Admitted His Guilt. A drunken man staggered into church on Sunday nnd sat down in the pew of one of the deacons. The preacher was dismissing about prevalent poplar vices. Soon lie exclaimed; "where is the drunkard?" The drunken man was far enough gone to think the call personal, so rising heavily, replied, "Here I am," and remained standing while the drunkard, s character and fate were eloquently portrayed. A few minuta later the preacher readied another head of discourse, and asked, "Where ia the hypocrite?" Gently nudging his nelghlmr, the drunkard said, "Stand up deacon, he means you this time. Stand up and take it like a man, just aa I stand. It will do you good." Ex. A Pitchfork Swindle. A gang of swindlers are reported to be victimizing the farmers of nearby counties with a scheme thst it seems no sane person would entertain fcr a moment. The salesmen as they claim to be, approach a man with the propo sition that he shall become their agent for a patent pitchfork. He is present cd with a sample for his good looks and signs an agreement to sell pitch forks to his neighbors. The'ngreeineiit proves to lie a judgement note and the poor man finds himself impaled on the pitchfork that the other fellow was us ing. The slippery gentlemen have made some good hauls, their profits ranging from $75 to $450 per fork. MAHR1ED. On the (1th Inst by Bev. W. A. Haas Samuel E. Smith and Cora E.
