A very pleasant surprise party was given at the 7T Ranch about a week ago,
at which every one had a very enjoyable time. Jeff Parish took all honors
for the best dancer. Another party was given at Plush last Friday night; a
large crowd attended and had a good time, without any fights. One or two
bluffs were stirred about, but no hard blows were cast.--_Plush
