Crescent, city Dancing Class.

This class, composed of twenty-four young
gentlemen and corresponding number OF
ladies', closed one of the most brilliant and
pleasur able series Of shops on Tuesday
night, ever known to this or any other dane
ing community. For nearly five months the
weekly meetings of this class have been o
source OF the most popular and graceful amuse-
ment, not only to its own members but 10
their numerous friends who have also partic-
ipated freely in their enjoyments. On Tues
day night every heart beat lightly and joy
ously, at the happy conclusion Of the associl-
ton which had Altered them so much pleasure,
regretting only that the season forbade its
continuance. During the evening, and while
the dance was going on cheeriIy, the officers
of the splendid steamer Belle Sheridan, hon.
ored the class with an invitation to visit their
boat, and continue the dance on board.
The invitation was cordially accepted, and

that she was only their humble servant"

CHARTER ELECTIONS IN New YoRK.-For
the last two or three years the Democrats
have carried the charter elections in the cit
les of Troy, Utica. Oswego, and Rochester,
and have also elected the Mayor in the city
Of Auburn. In each of these cities an cleo
ton has been held during the last week
and the result Substantially is, that in each
the Wings have succeeded not only in elect
ting their candidates for Mayor. but large
majorities Of the Common Council, except in
the city of Utica, where Wing Council, was
elected, with Democratic Mayor who is q
strong opponent Of the Nebraska bill. How
far the proposition to disturb the Missouri
compromise has operated to produce this
change must be left to the friends of thai
measure to determine.
