The Somersetski.-The merry editor of the Pc.
tersburg (Va) Intelligencer thus describes a new
style of dancing which he lately Witnessed at Old
Point:
"The Somersetski is the name of new dance
which bids fair to knock the Waltz, the Mazourka,
the Polka, the Rodowa, and the Schottsch into
cooked hat. This last named dance is by far the
most ridiculous affair that ever participated in
by sane people. We never see 1t without thinking
of gand-r balancing himself on one leg, and
noddlng affectionaley and amorously on his favor
lite goose But, from all accounts, the Somersetski
is the dance of the age. 1t is danced by four per-
sons-iwo ladies and two gentlemen. The ladies'
are dressed in frock reaching 10 the knee, and
The continuances, of sockinet, fitting close
as possible to the skin. One lady wears white
stocking and black stocking, and the other wears
one green and one red stocking The gentlemen
are dressed in shorts, and their stockings are OF
PINK and purple colors. The dance begins by the
gentlemen turning somersets over the ladies, after
which the ladies' turn somersets over the gentle
men and then the whole party turn somersets
over each other, rapidly, promiscuously, and mis-
cellaneously. During this last named movement
the performers, with their variegated costumes,
present ali the changes of the kaleidoscope. Those
who have seen this dance admire it greatly. Il
will doubtless be in vogue at all the watering
places this season."

"Shocco Jones This name, from fifteen to
twenty years ago, was familiar as household
word in all the newspapers-connected with the
most laughable hoaxes, singlar adventures, funny
stories, and unfought duels. More recently, its
wearer has become "sadder, if not wiser
man," and has not been heard of in public affairs
We believe he has been leading a secluded life in
the vicinity of Columbus, Mississippi. Our atten'
