A large niftLher of the friends of Mr. and Mrs Albert Bellows, gave them a house-warming and a complete surprise last Saturday evening. Twenty-live or thirty vehicles filled with pleasure seekers drew up at the meeting plaee, {Jones school house) at four o’clock, and from there, moved in procession to Mr. Bellows’ residence, reaching there iu time for a bountiful supper.
