altbtu ugh two stores were devoted to whist. There
wee calls through the great room for carriages before

to tbe story appropriated to it, but, in defiance OF an

But the bail WAS great As one approached
the house. il seemed wrapped in blaze OF light from
imret TO foundation stone; and as enc entered, the

richly -onomtnted was, and upon the beyes Of beat

could not but ark whether fairya could boast Of

Amopg those present We noticed Mr. P-nd-n mis-,

P-t-pbars, and Miss Becky Sb-p. Were we ha-

In ore respect, this magnificent affair did great
credit begging Gsuche Booseys pardon, to DR..
Towpsend: It was conducted strictly temperance
principles throughout. Boosey was there, bat looked
so,n. what out Of his element. We overheard 10

Neither the repubcarism nor the temperance Of Dr.
Townsend will be likely we fear, to be initiated In
Fifth avenue this year OF next. But good example

sme Of the snobs who affect to sretr at him, will keep
IN mind that he taught them two or three useful ana
important Lessons last night.
