TAKEN IN AND DONE FOR.

tee of Jasper teatfo Well-to-do Far■era tile Victim. Captain Wasson, you are the victim. Those whom you supposed to be your best friends are the perpetrators of the deed. We would say to you that we think it is no worse than you deserved, for you will remember how you deceived one of your best friends, about a year ago. How you induced him to go down to the Big Slough with you, kept him there among the snakes, |bull-frogs, dog-fish and splatter dock until the neighbors had time to take full possession of his premises—barn, smoke house, cellar, pantry and dining room. You ought to kri&v that such actions would call for revenge. Harvey says ‘“an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’ ” and that “Milton should not see his 50th birthday come and go unnoticed.” But Harvey is not alone to blame for all this disturbance, for he was urged on by about 150 men, women and children. The Dutch, the Irish, the Yankees, the Hoosiers and the Buckeys all taking a part, armed with about thirty fine cakes, thirty roasted chickens and all kinds of nicnacs .by the cart load. Several incidents occurred worth noticing. Bruce Porter was the champion laugher, Mr. Walters was the wittiest man present, Grandma Porter was the oldest person present and a young man from Rensselaer was the most genteel. Wasson was the happiest man. The committee was unable to decide who was the greatest talker, as there were about fifty women present, all with a week’s supply of talk on hand, which they wanted to get rid of in one short evening. Abner Griswold being absent and 8. O’Meara and Chas. Malchow not feeling well, the eating race was a tie between H. C. Bruce and John Chamberlain. Mr. Wasson received a nice rocking chair as a birthday present, presented by Mr. Bruce, in behalf of the neighbors. One-of-em. LOOKHERE!
