The Turkish Costume-Toledo Ahead.

A large and elegant party came off last
evening at Mrs E. Haskelrs-deeidedly one
of the finest affairs of the kind ever known in
Toledo. Nearly every lady present, some six
ty or seventy as we learn, had the good taste
to come out in the new style of costume
The dresses were tastefully got tup, beautiful
and becoming. and were .lrorna.wIth an easy
greece that was quite enchanting. The half
dozen ladies who adhered to the old draggle-
tails" did themselves great injustice by ap-
pearingin such ungainly guise, where all be-
sides were 50. elegantly attired. s
Arrangements, we understand. are inpro-
gress for asuccession of parties in the same
style. Our ladies have taken hold of the dress
reform in the right spirit; and the new style
willbe henceforth @all the rage" in Toledo. s

The Sea Sernentg


The Journal of Commerce relates circum
stance. Oh the authority of respectable ship
master, which, if true, must remove the doubts
of the most skept:cal as to the existence Of the
Sea Serpent. This sea captain reports that
when in lat. N, lon 81 or % w, on his
passage from the Isle of Sal, Cape de Verbs,
to Rio Grande, then being dead calm, saw a
shoal of singular looking fish. One about 30
feet in length approached his vessel and was
in sight about twenty minutes. Capt. Burr,
with five pronged cranes, struck one of tie
smaller ones in the neck, but in attempting to
haul it on board the body parted and was lost.
The head was preserved and brought to New
York 1t resembles the snake, and the skin is
said to be bullet proof. The piece of the an
imal being the head and a few inches of the
body. is about a foot and half in length. The
Jourdal says:
The part above described, is before our eyes
and can be seen by any one who pleases, at
the office of the Marine Surveyors. If it is
not part of young sea serpent, what is it ?
VIII the naturalists tell us? 1t is evidently
a water animal; else what is the use of gills
and fms? We have never seen the like of it
before; and we understand the old salts are
equally at fault in regard to it. About the
eyes, we are told, it resembles a certain spe-
cies of alligator. But the mouth is entirely I'M
like that of the alligator; the long proboscis or
snout does not belong to the alligator; and on
the whole it clearly belongs to different fam
ily. E ..--...-f ID.

RE It's apparent that the Wings did not
follow the lead of the "Freeman!" Two hun
dred and eighteen apparel at the polls against
the new constitution, the few additional votes
cast by them were in favor of it, aIaaa
rA Democrat.
The above extract proves the falsty of the
assertion made in the Democrat a week or
two since, that the Wings made the new con-
stitutiou party ISSUE, The fact is :hat the
Wings. as party, did not attempt to infiH7
ence single vote against that instrument
but let all vote as their judgment might die
tate. The LocofocO party, on the contrary,
made every cxeftion to poll their full strength,
which object they effected. at least in this
county. There are near six hundred Wing
voters in this county, who did not go to the
election In the State there was at least one
hundred thousand who staid away. Who
can doubt, fthe Wings had made a united
effort against the new constitution, but it
would have been defeated by at least twenty
Eve thousand majority. No sane man, certainly.
