His first request was that sixty of his friends be invited, accompanied by five of the best fiddlers'to be found in the town. Second, he wished no tears to tie shed, but. on the other hand, insisted that tke sixty friends should be “merry for two hours,” on penalty of being sent away. And, finally, that “no snuff be brought uootf the premises, lest I have afLoi sneezing."
