Amador weekly ledger., 1858-01-02
rhe Calico Party.


(and whatever they try they are sure to ac-
complish) in behalf Of noble object, the
which is but again illustrated by the energet-
ic action and triumphant success Of the ladies
who have the management of the Calico Par
ty which is to take place on The Sth inst
They have proved themselves fully equal to
perform the duties devolving upon them, hav-
ing made the most complete arrangements,
for all purposes connected with the party, and
having collected subscriptions to defray the
expenses Of supper, &c, SO that nearly if not
the entire receipts at the Party will go for
the benefit of the School House. We have
no hesitation in saying that it will be the
largest party ever given in the county, and
as ample accommodations have been provi
ded, the prediction is perfectly safe that uni
yersal Joy will characterize the OCCASION.
The ladies have the management-how could
the occasion be otherwise than joyous? An
excellent band of music has been engaged
and all who desire TO "trip the light fantas-
tic toe f" will have an opportunity. There are
not few who
Love to go and mingle with the young
In the gay festal room-when every heart
Is beating faster than the merry tune,
And their blue eyes restless and their lips
Parted with eager joy, and their round checks
Flushd with the beautiful motion Of the dance"
Blythe bye the party is to take place on
the anniversary of the Battle of New Or
leans, a fact which lends the occasion addi-
tional Importance.
But we need say no more That the first
Calico party given in Amador county is to be
a decided success, has already been placed
beyond a peradyenture. Those who stay
away will miss an opportunity to realize what
Byron so beautifully describes
"A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its vouptuous swell,
Soft eyes look'd love TO eyes which spake again,
And all went merry a marriage-belL"
The managers have provided accommoda-
tions for those who may not desire to take
part in the dance. The residence of Dir
Springer will be open for those who desire to
patronize the object and partake of the sup
per, without attending the ball.
HEAVY Sur FOR DAMAGEs-John Aram,
of Volcano, has commenced suit in the Fifth
District Court, Amador county, against Har-
mon d Co., Meeker & Co., Brown & Co.,
and W. s. White, Ex-Sheriff Of Sacramento

his person at Sacramento last summer. The
damages alleged are $50, ,00O;a nd Col. L. ID.
Baker, Gen. Volney Il. Howard and G. l.,
Waters, Esq, appear for the plaintiff. AS
this suit is one Of Importance, we may, at
another time, allud9 to some of the particu
lar allegations set forth in the complaint.
VOLUNTEERS FOR SALT LAKE-The news
that troops were to be raised in California
for the Mormon war created regular furol
here in jackson. Under the direction of As
semblyman Briggs about fifty volunteers en-
rolled their names for the service. Blythe
way the roll was placed in Post & Hus
bands saloon for further Signatures, but
Frenchman, without the fear of the Ameri
can Eagle before his eyes, took the paper t
light his cigar Was he not a Mormon il
disguise? We submit the question to Cap
ting CrafTord.
NEw Posi- 0FFIoE.-We are Informed thai
new post Office is about to be established
at the village Of Amador in this county
They need one there very much, as there is a
large population there engaged in quartz
mining, and other business Mr. Button has
been recommended for post master, and we
take pleasure in saying that better and
more popular selection could not have been
made.
