ITY OF EVANSVILLE

THE TEA PARTY.-The Tea Party at the
Exchange on Thursday evening was bril-
liant affair. The attendance was large, and
if anything were needed to heighten the gen.
eral good humor of the occasion, we are at a
loss TO know what il could have been. The
ladies seemed to US TO shine particularly
bright, and the gentlemen to be especially
agreeable and devoted, on this OCCASION
The Brass Band was in attendance, and dis
coursed music by nearness made not quite so
sweet, although excellent in itself. The
playing and singing by the ladies at the Piano
were delightful. We took one glance at the
supper table, which was before operations
commenced. Bless our eyes, what display
was there of substantals and fancifus TO
crafty inward mortality! OF the former,
there were enough to crafty regiment of
Indiana volunteers after forced march Of
twenty-four hours among the chepparels of
Mexico. The latter were as profuse in guam
tity as in beauty. The taste displayed not
only at the table, but in every thing else con-
nected with the affair, was high compliment
to the ladies' of MrDodge's church, who gave
the party. The proceeds of the evening, COM
prising sales of tickets and the receipts at the
Ice Cream depot amounted to about one hun
dred and fifty dollars.
