Our well known merchant, Mr. A. Leopold, was fifty-two years old, laßt Tuesday, (though he does not look it, by 10 years) and the occasion was observed in a very pleasant manner. The members of his family quietly prepared a splendid and most bountiful supper, and invited all the members of Eastern Star Chapter, of which Mr. Leopold is a member, to come and help eat it and spend the evening. By very clever management Mr. Leopold was kept in complete ignorance of what was going on, and he was much surprised, on going home in the evening to find his house packed with guests, and a royal supper awaiting their disposal. He was equal to the occasion, however, and made everyone thoroughly welcome. The number present, including the family, was about seventy.
