Hummel and Steinhardt arrived early, in company with a third person, and took their seats with their backs to a window on one side of the table, at the head of which sat the referee, and opposite ex-Judge Fursman, attorney for Mrs. Morse.

We had two fiddles and I had the honor to open the diversion of the evening in a minuet with Miss Soley. Here follows a list of the company as we form'd for country-dancing.

Albert H. Sweetser was our last Representative, elected in 1882-3, by one of the largest majorities ever given in the District.

They laid fine plaits of the same stiff white muslin over her breast, and crossed her hands above them. "She must ha' been a handsome woman in her time, Mis' Bunker.

"The nearest one is three miles away from here." "I don't think I can hold out so long," said Carl, smiling. "Sit right down with Nat," said the farmer's wife, hospitably.
