Had an Appetite.

Mr. Huff editor of the Monticello Herald attended the Rensselaer jubilee week befor last and got asquAre meal. He gives an eloquent description of 11 and says: It was after 1 and os everybody was hungry dinner was the first thing in ordoT after the ttrcival of the visitors who had come by rail. Several tables were arranged in the court house square and one Attended the full length of the court house corridor; these fairly groaned under the load of good things to eat. \ The county ofiices had been thrown open and some of them were used for store rooms for edibles, preparing coffee, etc. It was a grand dinner. Ilk hugeness was excelled only by iu excedenoo. To describe it justly would require better language and more space than w« haveatcoromand. The long lalkedof ox was on the tables cut up iuto small chuncks, but his osahip almost lost his identity in the abuudaaei of palatable dishes that surrounded him. About fifteen hundred people participated in the magnificent free dinner, and when it was over all had the appearanoa of having fatrfti trump! uously. * * * In conclusion we will say, the narrow gauge is a perfect success, and itsworth to the people of Rensselaer and Jasper county, can not be estimated.
