BELLEvUE.-We learn that most maoni6-
cent ball was given at Bellevue on the evening
Of the 18th May. From the details narrated to
us by friend, it must have been the most
recherche affair of the kind which has ever
come off in any of the northern parishes. More
than fifty couples were present, who gaily trip
ped the light fantastic toe to the bewitchine
notes Of ep and John Crownover's violins. A
splendid supper was given at Kelley's hotel,
and all went merry as marriage bel,'' and
all went home sceU-next morning. Bellevue
is fast improving and is proper index to the
wealth and refinement Of Bossier, parish be-
culiarly noted for fair women and brave men,
whose souls are imbued with genuine cavalier
hospitality--a characteristic but too rapidly on
the decline in the south. claiborne Adv.
a number ofour citizens were present at the
ball given in Bellevue, and most enthusiastically
endorse all that the Claiborne Advocate saws
in regard to it.
The upper Mississippi and Ohio rivers are
falling slowly.
