Miss Carrie's thirteenth birthday was the cause of the storming, but from the perfect arrangements we should judge that the affair was not entirely unexpected. The popular musician Mr. Davidson , happened in with his violin, of course quite accidentally and to his musical strains the young folks danced until one o'clock. The refreshments were plentiful, the fun abundant, and all on parting wished Miss Carrie many more such birthdays. (Carrie Stewart, was the daughter of George W. and Frances Stewart)
