Here 1s an extract from a Silv erton,
Colorado, paper, which' 1s of interest, _
both as a specimen of western’ journal-
ism, and because the Miss Cook spoken
of will be remembered as a: resident of
Norwalk, at one time. Silverton is a
mining town very high up in the hills,
and very new indeed: “The reception
given on Thursday eve, by Mrs. J C.
Garr etson, in honor of her mother and
sister, Mrs. and Miss Cook, will long be
remembered as one of the most enjoy-
able, if not the most enjoyable event
in Silverton society for the year 1891.
Invitations were issued early in the
week andbut few regrets were received.
The reception lasted from seven till
midnigt, and during that time more
than one hundred people visited the
Garretson residence." Then followes
the names of the ladies and gentlemen
_who assisted Mrs. Garretson in receiv-
ing, with the ‘comment, “that they
made every one feel at home before they
had scarcely passed the threshold, was
evinced by the continual hum of con-
versation and the merry laugh ac-
companying it. ” Here is inserted en-
thusiastic encomiums on the supper and
orchestra. Then, “ Our fashion ex-
change has dropped us from their list
and we are a little rusty on the subject,
but we should judge from last evening
that black 15 fashionable, as the pr e-
dominating color appeared to be of .
that shade. Everyone agreed that the
reception was a pronounced success,
and everyone said they had enjoyed
themselves, and thought everyone else
had, and we agree with them“. With
such a hostess as Mrs. G. and 75th able
assistants how could it. be otherwise"

remember
these ladies for entertaining it so
, royally.

Those wide-awake, energetic and
successful dry goods men beneath the.
GAZETTE’s sanctum, Messrs. Edward
and Frank STREET. have the parch-
ment evidence. of their patriotic origin
and of their eligibility to become mem-
bers of the now famous order of the
'S'ons of the American Revolution.”
Mr Frank Street has just shown us
the commission of their grandfather,
DA1 ID STREET, to be made Captain in
Co. 6, 34th Regiment of the Conn. Mi-
litia. This is signed by Gov. Oliver
1W'Tolcott, who was then Commander-in-
Chief of this State’s forces, and is
dated Oct. 16, 1797. '
The next parchment shows Capt.
Street’s promotion to be a Major in the

signed by Gov. Jonathan Trumbull,

éPossibly the occult inspiration of the

penning these lines over their heads,
may account in some degree for the
