The Donation Party.

The Donation Party.
This affair, got up by the Ladies of the
Benevolent Circle, went off with fine
eclat, and was successful pecunialily.-
A large company of our citizens. of both
sexes, and all ages. assembled at an early
hour, at the Empire hall. The annual
report of the Society was read by the
Rev. JOSEPH KING. The report was
highly creditable to the members of the
Cirlce, showing as it did, that a large
amount of good had been accomplished,
with small means, except their own in
-dustry, and charitable efforts; and in a
quiet, u~npretending way.
After an appropriate prayer by ELDER
Balm, and short pertinent addresses were
made by Revd's MALrBY and MEAsoN,
ELDER ERRErT, j. HUrcHINs and JAS.
MARVIN, Esqr's, intermingled with fine
singing by the Warren Glee Club. The
assembly then partook Of the excellent
repast provided by the Ladies, and from
the ample justice donei nthisdepartment,i ii
was very evident that the crowd appreci-
ated this part of the entertainment.
After an evening pleasantly, and we
hope proitably, spent; the crowd retired
to their homes, all apparently highly
pleased with tho entertainment.
The receipts were about one hundred
and twenty dollars. This amount, in
such hands, viii be productive of much
good, and relieve the necessities of many
suffering human beings.
The parry was creditable to all. To
the Benevolent Circle by whose exertions
it was got up. and to the citizens whose
liberality, rendered it successful.
A far higher need of praise is due to
these Ladies whose watchful care IN
ceasingly seeks out the accomplishing
destitute, and relieves their wants, IN
known though they be 10 fame ; than to

Ter Rim. She's all Oak

The Richmond (Va.) Examiner says
that the South is now determined to re-
%taliate. The following is its language /:
From every portion of Virginia, we
hear of the ripening disposition of the
people to temporize no longer with North
ern aggression but to abandon the pol
icy of Cancellation which las so long
proved unavailing, and resort to decisive
measures. They believe it folly to cry
peace, peace, when there is no peace,
and they are resolved to meet assault
with assault, and war with war. Ag-
gression must be resisted. Insult must
be resented. 1t is the only way to save
the Union /; and, what is infinitely more
important than that. it is the only way
to save our own institutions, threatened
at home and from abroad.

Our Town Clock.

When first we looked upon the large
round face of the dial, from the window
of u sanctum, we congratulated u r
selves upon the amount of valuable time
we should save, by just turning our eyes
to the Court House steepIe, instead of
slowly and laboriously pulling our bulls
eye from a tight pocket and upon the
regularity with which we should here
after get our dinner ; tn At we should
never more be annoyed by waiting two
hours for tea, when we should be so for
tunate as to be irvited out nor would
our lady friends be Mortified BY having
us make u appearance an hour too
Dor But our hopes were doomed to
disappointment. The loud tones of the
bell calling the hour, are heard no more.
Sometimes the hands on the dial insist
upon beating every time piece in town
by half an hour. Then they drop be-
hind ten or fifteen minutes. And next
they stand with the most charming regu-
larity, twenty four or forty-eight hours
in precisely the same spot. What is the
trouble.

PassmOre Williamson in Court Again

On the 22d inst, says a despatch from
Philadelphia, a petition was presented
from Passmore Williamson and partly
read, when Judge Kane said that Will
hanson had a right to apply to the Court
to purge hims If of contempt, but this
must be the first step. The petition not
being such purgation, but apparently a
kind of remonstrance against his impris-
onment, he could not receive it, but up
On reasonable notice would hear counsel
upon any preliminary question. After
IN argument by Mr.. Meredith in behalf
OF Williamson, to which the District At.
torney replied, Judge Kane reiterated
that he could receive no communication
from a party in contempt. The first step
must be an application for leave to purge
himself of contempt. That done, he
would be reinstated before the Court and
have the same rights as before commit.
ment. If counsel differed with the Court,
it would willingly hear any argument on
that point.
