Tnz FAIR AND B4LL-Smith Of the Con
cord,a Intelligence. thus concludes a lively
and brilliant notice of the Agricultural Fair
and bali, recently held in this city: :
But this is di g7essioa-;hc ball, the ball!
--ay, the ball! We'll, good reader, it was
II proud assemb!ago-an array of intel
lect, fashion and beauty, rarely met with
in the proud State Of Louisiana. The
taste and style Of Baton Rouge is an fat;
being in the heart of ancient Louisiana,
the reader of this paper could not expect
US TO gid such an assenhlage. Our jadg-
mcnt, humble as Ii is, may be known BY
the opinion that we have never seen a
ball with so much beauty, so much STYLE,
and so much taste. we are not at all sus.
ceptibie-had we been, we should have
lost our superior admiration for Concordia
in the mazy dances Of the great State ball
at Baton Rouge.
We had intended to insert Eere q length
cned description of the magnets Of both
sexes, but on second thought, We have con-
cluded TO lay it up in lavender ana dream
out of lis passages Poctical paragraphs for
the future plumbers Of The Coneordia Inset-
~ligenccr. We left Baton Rouge with sa
good an opinion Of lis hospitality, that we
could see no necessity for tavern sirn
boards--the kindness Of It's citizens does
away with the necessity Of publicans and
bar.Fooms.
In conclusion, We Join in tie language
of the Baton Rouge Gazette, ana say that
next year a convention Of planters, ami.
snals and things viii be seen, that will as
topish even the ancient inhabitants of Red
Stick. On that occasion Concordia will
