RECEPTION.

One of the pleasant social events of the season was the reception. fiven by the ladies of the Robert [. Milroy Circle No. 3, last Saturday evening, in honor of our soldier boys. Over one hundred guests were present. An excellent program was rendered consisting of instrumental and vocal music, recitations and addresses. Among the latter was an address by Wo. Holderness, one of the soldier boys* relating his experiences and citing many items of interest concerning the war, the Cubans and their country. Such a supper as can only be prepared by good cooks, for which the ladies deserve to be highly complimented, was served and to which every one seemed to do ample justice. A good sociable time was spent and it was at a late hoar when the crowd disbanded.
