The Paris correspondent of tho BoStOr
Traveller gives the following account off Hunts
mans Ball lately given in that city.
al may instance one of the few balls lately
given here, for Oddity It was given by the
Duke de la MOskOwa, Grand Huntsman Of the
Court He invited only one hundred and fifty
guests. 1t was literally a huntsman's ball
The vestibule, staircase and ante chamber wers
adorned With hunting trophies guns, rifles, hun.
ting poignsrds, and other similar objects. The
orchestra played hunting songs for the guests
to dance BY, and the altzes (foF there is no hunt
ing song by which one can waltz were inter,
ruPtsd by various horn accomplishments familiar
to sPoFtSmen. Concealed singers accompanied
the orchestra by barking, baviDg, swapping and
moaning in the most approved canine style
while WhiPpsrs in cracked whips, and the game.
keepers exploded percussion caps.
At quarter Of twelve the huntsmen, whip,
pers-in and game-keepers on the staircase blew
the tally-ho, and at twelve o'clock they blew
the quarry. When the quarry was sounded the
ball room was invaded by great quantity oi
game of all sorts, which appeared to attack the
Grand Huntsman. These game costumes were
excellently gotten up. The birds-there were
psrtridges, phssssnts, plOvers, heath-cocks-
were ell feathsred: the wolves foxes, hares,
stage, deer, were all in the skins Of the beasts,
with mask and false head of psstebOard faith
fully initiating the appearance ofthsse animals.

sInauIar Cause Of Deerh.

In noticing the recent death Of s. W. Brad
street, Esq, well known citizen of IrOndequOit,
aged about 40 years, the Rochester Democrat re-
marks:
Mr.. Bradstreet's disease was paralysis, with
which he was attacked in a singular manner.
Two years ago last February he was coming
from his residence to the city, driving pair Of
Spirted horses. When near the railroad train
came along, frightening the horses so that they
ran away, and Mr. B. was compelled to exert q
great deal of strength to hold them. He was
very much alarmed also, and when the horses
stopped, which they did without doing any
mischief he found that the strength had left
his hands. Those members never recovered
their former condition. but gradually became
paralyzed SO that they were perfectly useless
Eminent physicians in various parts of the
country were consulted, but of no avail-nons
of them could do any gOOd-and the disease
spread till it finally reached the vitals, and
death ensued.

nncnrtninry OF the Law.

Miss Efie Csrstany brought suit against an
old St, Louis millionaire named Shaw claiming
100000 damages for breach of marriage
promise, and after prOtraeted and closely
contested trial the jury rendered verdict in
her favor for the whole amount claimed. This
was making quite too big hole in Mr.. Shsw's
enormous pile, and the lawyers eontrived to get
in addition to a fat fee, fine chance for a
second in the shape of new trial. This was
prOtracted for some three weeks, and on SatuE'
day last termipated in a verdict for the defend
ant the jury being out but twenty minutes
The ablest counsel in St. Louis was employed
and the testimony and dePOsitiOns published in
the St. Louis papers to show on one side that
Efie was no better than she should be. and little
short Of an angel on the other, would fill a good
sized volume.
Efis is an old maid milliner, and Ike Mr..
Brown says at will never do to give itup SO. u
A motion for a new trial has been filed by heT
counsel, and in case of refusal, an appeal will
be made TO the Supreme Court.

GBAPEs-The extent to which the cultivaN
tion of grapes is carried on at KelIeys Island is
not known generally. About sixty acres were
devoted to the above purpose last year, and this
year one hundred acres will bear grapes; next
year over two hundred acres, and so on. George
and Addison Kelley have each about ten acres
devoted to grape culture.
There can be no more favorable locality for
the growth Of grapes in this latitude, than
KeIey's Island In July, season most fatal to
the grape because Of the rot, the island is e1-
empt from dsws, and there are few days in the
whole year when fogs abound there. The time
is probably not far distant when almost the
entire island will be employed in grape raising.

sra,e Rsform school Roys.

Mr.. HowE. the excellent Superintendent of
the Reform School Farm, was IN town yester-
day, in charge of four lads from Geauga cOun~
ty, who arc to enjoy the refOrmatory influences
Of that beat Of institutions. The lads appeared
intelligent, and we doubt not will do well un>
der the kind treatment and virtuous instruc-
tons Of the Brothers Of the Farm.
Mr.. H. lsf the institution a few days ago for
tip to Northern Ohio, and brought with him
eight lads to leave in the homes in the country
secured for them. Capital places have been
obtained for all, and in families where the train
ing and influence can scarcely fail to ripen the
seeds of virtue and industry implanted in the
Youag minds On the Reform Farm, into exem-
plsry, useful and respected manhood There
are now over one hundred boys at the Farm,
generally cOntented and doing well. Mr.. H
makes good report of the Cleveland lads under
his charge, and we trust they will all do honor
to themselves and the noble State charity.

New York Town EIecrlons.

The town elections in New York have been
contested with spirit, and the result is ausPi-
ciOus Of Republican success in November
The Buffalo Express thUs sums up
Complete returns of the town elections of
the State for the present year, show the cleo
ton Of $40 Republican Supervisors, against
2l7 Of all others. In 1859 there were 479 Re-
Pubicans aud 257 ell others. In 1858, 436 Re.
publicsns and 225 all others. These figures in.
dicate that the growth of Republicanism in
New York has been healthy and steady. Out
Of 727 Supervisors the Republicans elect this
year $40 Surely with such demonstration
Of strength upon the eve of Presidential cam
paign, there can be little doubt of the position
Of the Empire State next fall. Let whoever
may be the candidates, her vote will be found
on the side of Freedom
