Surprise Party.--
Mr. Christian Hershey, of this place, arrived at the half-century post of life’s journey last Monday. Returning home in the evening he was set upon by a party of ladies and gentlemen, who assailed him with congratulations, pelted him with good wishes and stormed his castle. Mr. Hershey rallied after the first surprise and contributed his share to the enjoyment of an evening that will not soon fade from memory. The invading friends took with them a liberal supply of food and all attacked it valiantly. This friendly recognition will be a grateful remembrance to Mr. Hershey, and the day will be marked with a white stone.
