GAs--We would like to know how often the
operation Of forcing the gas into the gasometer in
the western part Of the city going TO be repeat
cd, and whether It will always be attended with
the same result. We do not fancy having our
house filed from cellar % garrett, with gas, twice
ny intend indnlging in this innocent amusement,
Though 70 the gas consumers a very yexatious
nuisance,) we hope the corporate authorities VIII,
instead OF passing law to /" regulate excavations
for gan pipes pass one directing the pipes TO be
removed and sold as old iron. Better have no gas;
than such an intolcrable stencil always under ones
nose. Es
"THEY DANCED ALL NIsHr."--B But whether they
went "home with the girls in the morning" we did

who honored the select and delightful ball last
night with their presence, were escorted with due
care to their respective paternal msrsions and to
the arms of their "anxious mammas, who al
though knowing that they were = ont, felt assured
that the gallant Liberty boys" would take good
care Of their darlngs And they did 50, tooi a
more orderly, betterarrnnged, and pleasant bal,
we have never yet attended Success to all the
Clubs" say we may their balls be both nu-
merously and probably attended. .is9 i,f

express our opinion on certain weighty matters,
which we did; the aforesaid gentlemen remarking
that person who Yields q pen 30 powerfully as
ourselves mssf know what's what Having
delivered ourselves to the satisfaction Of all par
ties, we left ia our usual hasty manner. e
"PrRHArs.n--Mr LoveIacc, who was wounded
night before last BY his bsotherin-ay, will IN the
opinion Of the doctors, recover Some Of his
friends, however, think differently, as the wound

frequent occurrence of such ARRAYS In our commu.

the credit Of our city, that we shall never again
have to chronicle similar one.
