was brilliantly Illuminated throughout the
whole of its vast exteut for the festivities of
the night. The resources of The ueghbor-

even the vast expenditure of material wonld
not have been sufficient, had moi the ingeni-
Gus Mrs. Rourke, the ladybke proprielress
of the Hotel, hit upon the ingenious scheme
of cutting each candle into three parts. Then
The walls became gay with followed turnips,
mock oranges, and gorgeous bottle necks
which served as sconces. The pig was turn

pensive porker wandered sadly away 10 the
pen OF Mr.. Macga lhery, the sides of which

assistance, remaining inside of it nearly a

made, was matrimonial one., Miss Judy

sculptured wrists, and her dress flashed with
