to Be the ssobservsd of III observers.s- =
There is someshinE pleasant. striking. and
impressive m~fhe appearance of Miss
Wss.ss. She resembles nothing
Eearthly we havs ever seen, or unearthly
that We have imagined. except it be the
beau ideal Of Hebe. The most Iuxuri-
liant tresses, Of the most silken texture;
eyes bright and Tadialt as the stars in the
azure sky; checks Of rose. lips Of car
nation, ard slkin white and polished as
what shall ae say, not marble for That is
hard mot snow for that is cold-not satin
for that sounds ike man-millinera COM
parison like nothing that we ever saw be-
fore, or, weyerily believe, shall see again

lit is matchiess. AL the elasticity and
bounding animation of the child, withiall
the rounded beauty Of contour of the wo-
man. ARMS that might serve as models
to the sculptor hands that look as only
formed to play with flowers; and feet that
seem almost too small TO bear the beautiful
figure in which she exceiled all other la.

MISS G*##x*4 was much ad-
mired and elicted great attention from the
gentlemen. She is very modest and
sweet girl and we must bestows upon, her
the compliment once paid lady by the
celebrated ''man Of feeling" Nc Ken
sic. 'She has great deal Of the elegance
of a, well bred lady with all the sweet sim.
Eplicity of q country girl." We must not
fail to notice the young and charming Miss
M ***, who caused quite a. ffrore
among certain young gentlemen who re-
port represents as wooers Of hers. Indeed
the rivalry between rwo of her suitofs
threatened. at one time to bring on a hos
tile meeting, or as the duelist would say
a resort to the 'scode Of honor. Don't get
jealous gentlemen. Who is afraid of Ieaden
bullets. -. .s5=.=.s... ....f
Mrs. P ******* was decided the most
graceful da,tssuse in the room. She moved
with the most consummate grace and glided
through the dance like Peri through the air.
We, as wellas some others others of the
Herald, were exceedingly sorry TO see that
Miss. .***** was absent in conse-
quence ! serious indisposition..
Where was the fascinating Miss As*.*
Who knows. sg
We do not think the gentlemen showed
themselves to be perfect adopts in the art of
dancing, and if we should speak candidly
we must say that the mazes of the dance
appeared to be as intricate and perplexing
to many of them as that of the celebrated
labyrinth of Crete.
Among the most prominent gentlemen
presenton the occasion we noticed our high
fly esteemed friend join Halderman,
Attorney General pro ten, J. M. Lyle,
VIM. Weer, VIM. H. Adams of the Her
aid, DR.. Day and many others of our most
respected citizens. The dance continued
t up to3 o'clock, A. NJ, when theseompany
dispersed highly pleased with tkeafestivi-
ties Of the evening. We retiredenuch ia.
tigued and never more impressed with the.
beauty OF the sentiment of Sancho Panza.
ssBlest be the man who invented sleep,
It covers one up all like msntle.''
Let us have a Grand Mask aud Fancy
Dress 0all, invite the fair Westonians,
and astonish the natives. What say the la

The ARR1vALeE NEW BELL. (BELLE)
We hope the ladies. viii not break their
.sgarter strings, nor.the gentlemen become
excited, when we announce the arrival ola

Gus ladies' when we tell you the arrival Of
the bell (beile1 caused more talk among the
gentlemen of Leayenworth than any event
of the season. On leaving our sanetum last
evening we were asked by a friend. ..Have

the pleasure of her hand in the dance. "Oh,
