Tne hall was crowded with one of the best audiences ever assembl e d in Say- vill e. The literary part of the pro- gramme s r is prepared under the per- g onal supervision of Miss Minnie Fer- guson , and althoug h it \ v as quite a dis- courag ing t i sk. that lady was eyual to the occas.on. The instrumental duet by the Mi o ses Jennie Edwards and Fannie Kaynor was warmly applauded '•How we Licked the Teacher , \ wasj then faithfully depicted b y Miss Min- nie Ferguson who recited with her usual ability and was heartil y app laud- ed. Miss Edna Smith rendered a vo- cal solo in an excellent manner. — Miss Esie li e Gerber recited a piece entitled \Bar i iado del Carpeo , \' which disp layed her elocutionary p oc reri to excellent advantage. Althoug h -quite young, and not accustomed to recitin g in public. Miss Gerber acquitted her- self admirabl y, and is bound to make her mark as an elocutionist . She puts esnression . life and aecuracv into her recitations. She also delivered a very pleasing vocal solo. Ha l ter Dannie Lane recited a humorous piece entitled \Bro wns Mistake , \ which was well re- ceived. The j nstiumental solo by Miss Lillie Rogers , who is onl y about 10 years old , was quite remarkable. This little lady executes very nicely, and will make an accomp lished p ianist . A beautiful recitation entitled \The Beg- gar ' s Christmas. \ written by the late Editor Snow , of Birming ham , was abl y delivered by Miss Genie Baynor , who also has a future before her as an elo- cutionist. The vocal duet , (in costume.) b y the Misses fiaehel and Minnie Eay- nor broug ht down the house , and called for an encore . Miss Minnie Fer- guson recited the \'Beggar Child\ by request. Miss Jennie Edwards rendered an instrumental solo in an able manner. Ei g hteen young ladies and gents then went throug h a broom and hoe drill , •which gave good satisfaction. All who p articipated performed their parts well. As instructor of the drill , we desire to state that there was no attempt at mil- itary disp lay. It was simp l y a fancy drill. Not being a military organiza- tion , of course military precision could not be expected. To handle guns is one thing, but to handle hoes and brooms is quite another. Under the circum- stances the dri y was a marked success and gave sp lendid satisfaction. No claim was made to military kno wled ge , and there was no desire to make a dis- p lay of military wisdom , as the in- structor is not a military man , and ac- cepted the post simp ly to assist the L y- ceum. The evening ' s entertainment was concluded by a vocal solo b y Mrs. An n a T u tbilL which was rendered ia g ood sty le. The- sum of §63 was real- ized from the entertainment , the net pr oceeds of which will greatl y assist fiie Lyceum in li quid a ting its indebted- ness.

The action recall s a sensational elopement which agitated Suffolk Coun- ty society about a year ago. Phili p Haberman was a tailor at Sa3-ville, do- ing a good busines- . He owned a h ouse and lot and had S * > , 0<30 in cash. He ma rried Mary Haberman at Holbrook , BuSol k County, on February 2-3 , 1S76. They lived happil y together until early in 18S7 , when Philip met Rosetia Meld- ing at the residence of Hubert Mehl- ing, in Sayville. I' osetta was pretty and the tailor fell in love with her. In September , 16S7 , Haberman eloped with Rosetta , a b an donin g his wife and their two youngest children , Henry, aged 4 , and Annie , aged 2. The three oldest children , William Francis , aged 12: Minnie , aged 3 , and Philip, aged 6 , Haberman took with him . The tailor remained away fro m Sayville for a vear. and on his return in September last he informed his wife , as she says in her comp laint , that he went with Bo s etta Mehling to S a n H a tos , Santa Clara County, Cal. Mrs. Haberman says her husband left her without the means of support and that the Over- se er s of th e Po o r for the town of Isli p had to provide for her. She first heard that her husband had gone to Califor- nia in May last when she received a summons and complaint in an action brought against her by her husband f or a divorce on the ground of cruelty in the Superior Court of San Francisco , C aL Haberman returned to Sayville for the purpose of disposing of his property there and \leaving for good , \ Mrs. Haberm an says. He was arrested at the instance of \ the Sayville Over- seers for abandoning his wife and the two youngest children , but was re- leased , Mrs. Haberman alleges , under some arrangement b y which she was not benefitted at alL He was a good husband and father until he developed an affection for Rosetta, The p lain tiff makes Rosetta the co-respondent in the case and says her husband is living with her either in Xew York or Brook- l yn. The d efendent did not file an answer to the su mmons and complaint and the service was comp leted b y publication. He then appeared by Zimmermann & Jacobs. The firm of Pettit <fc Wood , the junior member of which is Lawyer Josep h- Wood , of Say v il l e , represent M rs. Haberman.

V. Douglas at the 50th wedding anniversary of Captain and Mrs. Wilson J. Terry, held \ on Wed- nesday evening of last week : T ' ;e g olden hopes of life ' s young days , The ' guine a die a ~ ^ r rtnd fancies That strewed the furore ' * y oid e n p.ajh; With amaranths and pan s ies , Tho golden hour when love was breathed , ' And loving heflit: t r»re plig hted ; The hour more golden yet , when los 0 Two loving souls united: The golden years that lay beyond , Their golden raptu res shedding, All these their aolden glories blend To form this golden wedding. From youth to age this wedded pair Have journeyed on together— X ot always gentle was the wind , Nor aiw&ys b l asd the weather; Yet few and light have been their cares , And light and few their crosses: And God has shown His pitying face Amid their griefs and losses . Ob! sore the travel and the toil To reach the roseate present , Had not en * ectlon cheered the way An d made the journey pleasant , What if the cheek has lost its blooni , The eye its youthful lustre . What if the locks are thin and blanched Which on the temples cluster. Still hope is fresh and hearts are young . And love is unabated. And men and angels hail lo-ni ght Tho married and the mated . The lovliest thing on earth is love , The lovliest and the purest: The dearest thing on earth is love , The dearest and the surest; And not alone is heavenly sweet The honey of its kisses; The very tears of love are sweet , Its very pangs are blisses: And they who love with love the best , The fondest and the strongest , Love with the lovliest love of all , Are they who love the longest . Ah! Love ' s dear veterans well deserve \ Our greeting and our praises . Since where we looked for winter ' s snows They point to Spring ' s sweet daises; Since , when the sea is smooth and fair , Or back the tide is flowing, Throug h all the voyage of the years They keep their fond hearts glowing; Since , thoug h the frame may show the trace , Of many a bli ght and fever . The te a ming vineyards of the s otil Are fresh and green as ever; Since , throug h the long, sweet married days Their faith and ferver proving, They make a noble thing of life , A Godlike thing of loving. Oh! happy, true and honored pair! Oh! ever leal and loyal! W e pay you willing court to-night , For love has made you royal! All gentle thoughts and hopes are yours , All wishes sweet and ten d er , What richer tributes can We bring, What worthier homage render \? God' s cherubs still your steps attend , His peace, your fond hearts strengthen , As o ' er the sky above your heads The evening shadows lengthen; And when the night comes on , at last . And brings its welcome slumber , Swe i t angels from the wondrous host . Which none may name or number Shall lead you still united souls Throug h shining arch and portal . To gardens fair and; pastures greei i , Where love shall be imn ^ ort a l. After the reading of the poem Rev. Th. Douglas rose and made a \brief speech rela- ting to the great changes within the memory of fifty years . Most of the world' s pro- gress and tie progress of the \fj nited States had taken place in that time; progress in the forms of government , the arte , science and religion. Mr. and Mrs. Terry had been iden- tified with Sayville and nei ghborhood all this time and were first to impress their in • telligence and life upon every movement w hich had for its object the advancement o| ppnimeroe , of society , and of religion. They had hqsts of friends aid \ nothi ng was so sweet to ' repBeinbe ras thD thouaht that they live In the hearts of those who loye them. At the c lose qf the address the guests rose to their feet when Mr. Doqglas offered a brief prayer of gratitude to that Divine Provi- dence who ha d led them so far on their pil- grimage and commended them to God' s care for all the future, « DIEtt.

An article a ppeared in the Bay Shore J ournal in last week' s edition , r elative to our highways , wh erein it says some fault is found with the condition of the hi g hways in th e town. Then the writer goes on and would have peop le to be- lieve that the bad condition of the roads are caused b y lack of money, repr s seniin g the facts as follows: \The s e ction of road that so much fault h a s been found about , is the district be- twe en E. P. Vail' s and Stellenwerf' 3 Brook. Now this is the shortest district on the inain street , in the t o wn , a nd at th e same time the road tax for the same district is nearly dou ble thai of any other of the same length on the main street. Bo , if other districts can afford to be put in good order , the r e i s no excuse for this one to remain as it is. \ Now the real facts are these: T he t a x h a s never b e en fully co ll e ct e d , so of course there was not so much money to be expended , and this st a te of affairs has been for sometime. So any one can see where the trouble is. The writer also says that \ no d o ubt but the contract system will have to be ado p ted. \ We wonder what has changed the writer ' s views , since a few years ago ?

This is no 'Idle tale , \ but a fact. \We Mean Business. We have s evera l reasons for so doing. In the firs t p lace, we want to reduce our stock before taking Inventory, and one of the princi pal reasons is that we need money . We will not mince matters. Money We must have a t no matter what sacrifice. It strikes us that the way to obtain it tlie most leadil y is to offer such Bar g ains as Wl11 compell the people to buy. We siiafl not attempt to divide profits , but at one sweep we shall cut them off , and in many instances we shall go far below the ori g inal cost. This sale i vill hist One Week on| y» as at the expiration of that time we shall commence stock taking, and then prices will be the same as before. We are not going to re-mark our goods. They are all marked in Plain Figures , and marked as cheap l y you 'll agree as same goods in other stores , but will give a GASH DISCOUNT OF 25 PER GENT. on every thing connected with the Dry Goods department, 25 per cent, discount on No o ns 25 per cent, discount on Hats and Caps; 25 per cent, discount on Underwear , Hosiery and Gloves. These goods are all new and seasonable. The reasons for doing this we have told you , and for once , at least , we mean to g ive you Bargains in something besides Groceries . Who ever heard before of g iving such a discount on Underwear when the Winter has j ust com- menced? It ought to make you feel warmer ju st to think of it , and we have such an ele- gant line too in Ladies ' Children ' s , Boy ' s and Gents ' sizes in Merino , Medicated and Natural Wools ranging in prices from 50 cts., to $1.75. Every garment is well worth the price named , but the 25 per cent, we will from them take and those who first come will most money make ' . Besides the regular line of Hosiery, which we think is unsurpassed , we have 284 pairs of Ladies ' , Gents ' , and Misses ' Cotto n Hose , rang ing from 20 to 45 cts . that we will sell at 10 cts. per pair. The most of these will probabl y sell ihe first day. SHOES , SHOES , SHOES !
