George Watt’s new team attracted such attention on our streets last Sunday. They are steppers for a fact, and we noticed as they flew past our window that they resembled each other very much, especially the one furthest this way. They are as black as a crow, as fleet as a jack-rabbit, and as proud as a peacock. ~Rock Valley Register.
SOCIAL EVENTS.
Last Thursday evening the ladies of the Congregational church held a social at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Downing on Gladstone Hill. Notwithstanding the extreme cold, there were a goodly number present. The evening was spent in playing games and conversation, after which carpet-rag balls were sold containing the names of all the ladies present and each gentleman buying a ball must take the lady whose name it contained to supper. The Balls were all sold amid much merriment, and the sack which held the balls was also disposed of after which a dainty lunch was served, and the company repaired to their homes feeling that the evening’s entertainment was worth facing the cold.
