Banquet 6f the 32d DegreeMasons.
The banquet of Gustav Brown Con¬sistory; No. 28, S. P. It. S. of A. A.S. R. M-, held last Thursday night,at the Watson House, was a grandand most enjoyable affair. Promptlyat 9 o'clock the Illustrious Brethrenand invited guests were shown intothe dining room by mine host Wat¬son, and took places at tables figure-atively groaning under the weight ofthe appetizing burdens placed uponthem. After an invocation for the
Almighty blessing by Rev. Mr. Giv-eh, of Berryville, the feast began..Landlord Watson and his chief clerkMr. Geo. A. Mock had levied tribute
upon sea and land, the temperatezone and the torrid, and with theskillful aid of Mrs. Watson and an ef¬ficient corps of assistants, there hadbeen prepared a menu such as hasnever been excelled in Charlestown,and which might well challenge the
appetite of the daintiest epicure. Itis unnecessary to say that full jiisticewas done the temptirlg bill of fare..At the conclusion of this portion ofthe programirle, a not less enjoyablefeature of the evening's entertain¬ment transpired when ComMandcr-in-Chief Gustav Brown, who presidedon the occasion with ability and dig¬nity, began calling upon brethren and
guests for brief remarks. Messrs.P. W. Brown, F. P. Oehm, T. H.Mason, B. f). Gibson, M. Griffith, C.K. Iloover, J. Garland Ilurst, JamesWatson, C. M. Hough and otherswere called upon, and a number ofshort and interesting addresses were
made, after which the Rev. Mr. Givenreturned thanks to the Giver of allgood, and thus concluded a most de¬
lightful entertainment. Among theIllustrious Brethren present fromother points we noticed Messrs. P. P.Oehm, N. B. Leslie and C. 15. Iloover.of Winchester; Rev. C. N. Given.M. Grilllth, Louis E.

On tlie first of January, 1388, theBaltimore and Ohio Rail Road Com¬pany inaugurated the sale of local*. Round Trip" tickets at all its of¬fices east of the Ohio river. Theseticket* will t>e sold to any stationon the liiie east cf the Ohio River, ata discount averaging about ten percent, of the regular rate, and theywill lie valid for passage for thirtydays, including day of sale.

increase in the volume of local travelthat will cvcntiially more than cora-
pensatc the Company for the reduc¬

We have no doubtthis voluntary action on the part ofthe Baltimore and Ohio Companywill lie appreciated by the people de-pending upon it for the means oftransportation, and believe that ulti-mate results will establish the wisdomof its liberal policy.Overcoats and Ovgkcoats. at prices that
