SURPRISE PARTY.

To live and not to laugh equals a cemetery, plus a tombstone. Humanity like a clock, cannot run without springs. Laughter, therefore, is the main spring of the force that keeps theearth peopled. A few days ago a number of young people, representing San Pierre and Dunnvi lie, organized a company of crusaders and proceeded to the home of Mr. Zabel and administered a dose of good old ppme-made surprise, to Mr. Robert ‘Rennewanz and Miss Lizzie Zabel. We knocked a. the dour ntid had the unbounded pleasure of being invited in, byLizzie Zable, dressed in the the armour of the culinary department. She tried to smile but oh, my! Her mouth wanted to cry, but she maintained a state of feeling bordeing on complete surprise. Robert Rennewanz, when he came merrily whistling, “Only a bird in a golden cage," and being ushered into the r iom occu-’ pied by us, he was completely “dumfisicated.” fie begati to prevaricate and fabricate, but it sounded to us like a conglomeration of the blue birds melodies or the heart-rendering song of a captured bull-frog. A ter playing various games, refreshments were served, after which we again jollified ourselves until the clock, 111 bold unpolished words; proclaimed the midnight hour. The following are the names of those present. Messrs. Misses. Frank Heilman Miss Morrow Tug Kilgore Lydia Weinkauff Hugo Rennewanz Minnie Sabel Will Haberm in Susie Waddell Fred Haberman J-.
