Surprise and
Presentation
Among the many scenes of festivity
and places of enjoyment that were afforded to people on Christmas, perhaps
few surprised, if any equalled, in interest and pleasure that at the
residence of John VanEvery, Esq., in Townsend.
It being Mr. VanEvery's
birthday, and also the twenty-fifth anniversary of his wedding, his
children conceived and carried into execution the idea of a "surprise
party" and invited a number of friends and neighbors to come and join
in the celebrating the event.
[Description of party and VanEvery home

the occasion we noticed Mr. V.'s step-father, Eli Irwin, aged 97, also his
