They looked on the . mantle for medicine to cure a fever, and uufortu- ately got hold of an old box of pills containing strychnine prepared for apa- tient who required this medicine in small doses. These they administered to each other about twenty and very soon were under the influence of the danger ous drug. Mr. Davis' little daughter was taken acrosshe street to. its home and the usual convulsions in such cases nuicklv came on.' Mr. Johnson's little declined not wishing to further, or to have anvthinir to do with anv scheme, tha had for its object the making of money by corrupting the morals of our fellow man, and returned the copy without printing them for him. Country Bali The country ball given at the Boydcn House last 1 hursday mgnt -was a com plete success and was enjoyed by many, both participants and onlookers About dark the couples from the coun try begau to arrive and by the time the diniuir room floor! was cleared for action about twenty-five couples were ready and anxious to begin. The floor maL asement was under the supervision of Mr. Jim Burkhead and the music was furnished bv the Second Creek stun: band, consisting of three fiddles aud banjo. At 10 o'clock the music and the fun began. Every one before that had cn gaged their partners for the first set, and when some one called "Partners for a cotillion," it took but a moment for six teen couples to present themselves ready for the first figure to be called. It is needless to say the fuu was fast and fu rious; it kept up all night and the par ticipants danced one set in the hall after the tables were moved into the dining room for breakfast. There were a number of good break down dancers in the crowd both male female who were possesed of considera ble skill and plenty of endurance. About one hundred of our townspeople of both sexes attended as spectators. Not till late (after their sweet-hearts had left) did our town boys get up enough courage to lake part, but when they did they went in to stay. Some of them danced as if they had made a study all their lives of just such dances, and some of them deserve special mention. Chas. Brown's balancing to his partner ivna cnmpt hhif wonderful to look at. He would bring his.right foot close behind his left, and with it. perform the same motion that a person does when they have a flea between their thumb naib; then throwing his weight on his right foot and placing his left behind ,;cracked" with that and so on. Claud Ramsay danced for all the world like a jumping jack when the string is pulled with jerks. Dr. Council made a busi ness of his danciftg. He got through with his part as quickly as possible and theft stopped and looked asr sober as a deacon until it was his turn again.
