THE SOCIAL EVENT OF THE SEARON.

The Lad:«Nolihn L.ltM*«ry Society Celebrate their Fifth Anniversary by a £nterinintrieut. 1 Accordion to a very commend■tiblo custom the members of the Ladies Literary Society celebrated ! the fifth anniversary of the exis- j tenee of the society by a public entertainment on Thanksgiving eve 'Wednesday Nov., 29th. The Opera House was’this year selected for the scene of the entertainment. Invitations to the number of 500 were issued, and, notwithstanding the very unfavorable character’of the weather prevailing at the time, an audience composed of several hundred of the very best people of the town met to enjoy, and do honor, to the occasion. Last year at their an. nual entertainment, the members •of the society called in to their asistance a fiumber of their gentle men friends; this year the ladies depended almost wholly upon their own resources; and no one whose happiness it was to be present and to enjoy the rich and Varied fea&t of good things intellectual,

provided for their pleasure, could •doubt but that they Were intirely equal to the occasion. Music, poetry, wit, humor, eloquence and sage reflection, artistically and agreeably combined, made up the features of the evening’s enjoyment. As some three hours time were required to execute the programme it will readily be seen that anything like a detailed account of the etening's performances is out of the question, and we must fain content ourselves with a bare repetition of the programme: The choir sang a Thanksgiving Anthem; Mrs. J. Claypool read a psalm; The E>ev. J, J. Claypool invoked the Divine blessing in a very impressive and appropriate manner; Miss Hattie Coen, and two other young ladies sang beautifully an evening hymn. The welcoming address by the presidentof the society, Miss Mary Babcock, was quite an extended and ambitious effort, consisting of two . principal features, one, mainly, a description of the scope and objects of tlie society; w r ith something of its past history and future prospects; the other of a protest against the social customs of the times which starve the souls and dwarf the minds of so many of the waves and mothers of our land and reduce them to the condition of mere house-hold drudges. Mrs* A. Thompson finely recited a dramatic composition entitled Prohibition. Mrs. 11. S. Dwiggins gave a serio-comic address modeled after the literary style of “Josiah Allen’s Wife.” She took advant-' ag&of the opportunity to say some strong words in favor of the equal rights of women. The members of the society, each in hei turn, gave appropriate quotations. The paper was road by Misses Lydia Paris and Mellc v\ fight. It was very lengthy, but was a “daisy.” its name was: “The Surprise,” and were it of more frequent and regular issue, The ReMiblican would find it a dangerous rival. While being mainly the work of its accomplished editors, it contained many short, but pointed, contributions from other members of the society, and from outsiders. Mrs. H. Purcupile, in the character of Grandmother Shellabarger, gave an amusing recitation.* «. Miss Belle Alter, with several capable assistants, furnished ..several j. iff** of excellent vocal '«mireic A beautiful tableau, representing, the social games of our forefathers, closed the entertainment. Both of the town bands turned out, and furnished splended 4 music in honor of the occasion. ,4, ** * . *uJ
