Atthe hour Of l2 o'clock, the ladies were es

lack" Tor fight with somebody; and, mounting
his horse, he rode into the city at full speed to as
certain the facts in regard to The matter. And
when told by the gallant Generals, CoIoneIs, Ma. |

affair was gotten up that it was call for the Ia 4
tes--"in silk attire and satin guise,' to engage 4

dulcct melody Of the violin; the eager gentleman.
