With The exception of the 22i February Ball.
The first winter after the opening of the Exchange
Hotel, the Ball on Thursday night in aid OF Inc
Hebrew School Fund was the most brilliant anu
animated reunion Of the kind that we have seen
10 Richmond. The large Concert Room OF Inc
Exchange was beautifully decorated-the floor
being divided into numerous compartments, which
were richly ornamened with striking devices,
such as fountains, eOrnucopie, &C., artlstIca!!y
executed in coored chalk. In The GENRE was an
open book, on one page Of which were Hebrew
characters, which were translated as follows on
the opposite page :-"Teach the youth how he
should go, and he will not depart from IT,
The book was surrounded by burning Stars,
the folds of The American flag, &c. The fol-
lowing admirable sentiment was inscribed in
immense characters across the floor: "Educa.
ton the great saesuard-See TO it," The word
"Chairy" was consprcuously displayed, with or
namenlal illustrations. The orchestra, with Ruff
fms we-appointed band, which never played
BETTER was supported by columns, decked with
eyergreens. Added 10 all this, the many gems OF
beauty which sparkled through The spacious
room, formed one OF The most Striking and int.
resting scenes which we have witnessed for many
a day. But we shall not venture upon The dan
serous ground Of paHicuaIizing the bright-eyed
beauties. Suffice it 10 say, that The large compa-
ny gave The best proof OF enjoymen,-lor, from

We were glad to see Governor Smith, Speaker
Scott and Ex-Speaker Cox, OF The Senate, Speak
er STROLLER of The House, Leuts. Selden and
johnson, and some members OF The Editorial
Corps, freely minging in The crowd, and e1.

We trust lha, this pleasant reunion has rea-

our city, in aid of which audable purpose, it had
