Stony Ford and Vicinity.
-- The Independent Club, a society dedicated to Terpischore, met at John C. Wilbur’s, Tuesday evening, 10th inst. Although they had a short dance, owing to the music not arriving until 11 o’clock, and a snow storm to ride home in, they all say they had a splendid time.
-- Mr. And Mrs. Robert Brown gave one of their famous parties, Thursday evening the 12th. It was attended by the elite of Montgomery and Wallkill. There were about fifty guests. The supper was such a supper as only Mrs. B. can get up, and, as one of the guests remarked, the good things were poured down on them in “copious effusion.” Moses B. Miller was called on for a song after supper, but “was too full for utterance.”
-- David Roat’s daughter Bell, while at school last week, fell on the ice and broke her collar-bone.
-- That noted fox hunter, Hud. Miller, visited this locality, Monday, and succeeded in capturing an old red fox that the Ward brothers, of the Vacant, have been trying to shoot for nearly two years. No use, boys.
