The party indulged lin fish- ing while there and succeededein cap- turing only one of the finny tribe. One of the party being discouraged by the shyness of the fish proposed a bath, When. he had reeled up his line one of the party succeeded in capturing the 'first fish and the lines were again brought out for another trial, but the lisle weuid not even nibble. In disgust the Rees were wound up andput*„away, wheia lo, a supposed second fish was captured and all hands with renewed courage brought out the lines to make one'.more effort, This also proved fruit- less. In utter dejection the fishing tackle was stored away and the exon lapius of the ' party asked to see the basket as there must be quite a num- ber of fish iu it, But lo! and behold! there was but one solitary perch, whose opportune appearances had caused so much loss of time and the use of un-. parliamentary language. The next half hour passed swimmingly. A tee1i„htenl Reception. The Owosso Argus commenting on the reception of the late pastor of the Trivitt Memorial Church says;—One of the most pleasant social functions of the season, was given last. evening, by the ladies of the Episcopal church, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs, E. F. Dudley, corner of Adams and Oliver Strets, in honor of Rev. Mr. Hunt, the new rector of Christ Episcopal church, and Mrs. Hunt. The elegant home of Mr. and Mrs, Dudley never looked pret- tier. The deft hands of wontel, had transformed their rooms into bowers of delicate beauty. Flowers, smilax, and green, covered every nook, gas fixture, mantle and sideboard, A beautiful bowl of handsome roses occupied the centre table. Among the pretty flowers, fragrant orange blossoms mingled their perfume with the rest. Festoons of helped to heighten the effects of the decorations, The brilliant gas lights enunciated the glad welcome meant for everyone. Soon after 8 o'clock, the guests commenced to arrive. They were shown to the retiring rooms, up stairs, by smiling little girl pages, Mr. and Sirs. Dudley graciously wel corned the guests at the door of the west parlor. They were then preseue ed to Mr. Philip Black, Mrs. Hunt, Rev. Mr, Hunt, Mrs, George Thomas, Mr. and Mrs, JamesOsburn,.Mr. and Mrs. 3, J, Davis, Mr, and Mrs, Thomas Horsman, Mr. and Mrs. A. T.

Mr. Hunt, and wife were the centre of attraction, and by their natural un- affected manner, made frieuds of all who were priviledged to meet them, Light refreshments were served on the verandah, on the west side of the house by charming young ladies. Soft, pleas ant music was furnished by the Ideal Mandolin Club, The evening was per- fect, neither too ccol or too warm. The guests continued to arrive until after 10 o'clock, Nat only were they mem- ber's of Mr. llunt'e parish, but also the leading citizens of Owosso, who came to pay respects to the new rector. 'The ladies proved most chartniuri hostesses, who, by the tactful welcome, prevented any feeling of formality, This recep- tion will inagurate a new era of pros perity in Christ church.
