Such repast, served as it was in an unsur-
passed style, could but find favor in the eyes
and mouths) Of all, while the assiduous at
tentions Of Mr.. II. A. Willard, like the sun
light upon landscape, lent an additional
charm to the banquet We are happy to be
able to state, too that there was no indecorum
no pilfering Of fowers-nO splitting of soups
over ladies shoulders--and no selfish lowering
over private wine," as a hen guards soil
tary chicken. All went "merry as marriage
bell"
During the supper the walters had full pos
session of the floor, and displayed the "pcetry
Of motion" in all its whirling grace. Mrs.
Senator T*****kn, bore away the palm as
the most graceful among the ladies, though
her gallant partner was rivalled by distin-
guished young diplomat, and by young naval
officer in Uniform, by whom the present cold
weather, after his Arctic experience, is proba-
bly, scarcely regarded as chilly.
But the gay scene, long protracted, at last
came to a close-and SO must this account of
it. From the spirit manifested when we left,
in the "wee sma' hours" the appearance of
Aurora must have warned the votaries of Terp-
sichore that it was time to part, and We viii
wager our best pen that none went away other
than delighted with each other--with the en-
tertainment-and with the Willards.
The Elected 1t is needless for us to say
aught of Adam j. dlossbrenner, Esq, the re.
elected Sergeant alarms of the House, as all
know him in that capacity. The fact that,
with heavy majority against his party in the
hall, he is reelected, shows that the expe-
rience ofmembers with him off cially, counsels
that he is eminently fitted for the discharge of
the duties of his position.
Capt. Nathan Darling, the successful candi-
date for the principal Doorkeepership of the
House, is a native of New York, but for many
years has lived in Louisiana, and, if We are
not mistaken, was engaged in steamboating
on the Mississippi and its tributaries. few
years since he removed back to New York,
and was elected yesterday as from that State.
He is undoubtedly as well qualified for the
discharge of the duties devolved on him by
the House, as any one of tho host of his COM
pstitors for the position. In due time the
Democrats Of the body will come to find him
as acceptable, even to them, as any of their
political opponents can be. When Demo
crat (before the rise Of Know Nothingism) he
was rampant one, and, as he does nothing
by halves, he is quite as stiff backed on the
other side of the fence just now.

friends, in electioneering for him, laid great
stress on the fact that he is grandson of that

patriotism, personal credit and financial sa >

The Weather.-The poor Of Washington
city are suffering just now, as never before.
Such protracted season Of intense cold
weather, wherein the usual out.of doors work

ed, is unknown in the previous history of this
section of the country. As a consequence,
even the most thoughtful and thrifty of our
labcring population have made no provision
against the disability accruing upon them at
this particular juncture. Who, that has a
heart, fails to feel deeply for, and to symra-
thise with them? Who, knowing no want un
satisfied, can close his or her heart against
the silent appeal of the season to their better
nature? No person in comfortable circum-
stances is there who has not something that he
or she can conve niently give to the poor,
which, SO given, will alleviate suffering and
cheer the dropping heart and spirit of some
really worthy person. Who of US is there
