HYDEorATH BALL.-The Eighth Anniver-
sary ball Of llydropath Engine Company, No.
3, at the Town Hall, Brattleboro, this (Thurs-
day evening, the music by the Bratteboro
Quadrille Band. The anniversaries of this
company have become famous "in all the region
round about" and those who are casting about
for good time will not of course omit this
golden opportunity. 1t is barely possible that
this will be the last ball of this sort for some
time to come, for if the British should invade
Vermont, as they now threaten other balls of
more forcible character will supercede these
pleasant reunions.

MUsICAL.-The entertainment furnished by
Prof Kimball and his singing classes at the
Town Hall last week, demonstrates the fact
that no lack of material for good singers exists
in our village. A crowded audience testified
their appreciation of good musical perform
ances upon this occasion, though it is to be re-
GREETED that few persons who lack the rudi.
ments of decent behavior were present to annoy
A goodly number of new scholars appear in the
classes which opened this present week, and
further advancement will be made by all in the
coming course Of lessons. There are those in
every community, who from disability of some
kind, must die with all their music in them
A commemorate spirit has been shown by some
such persons, in the assisting of those who have
more natural musical endowments to the means
Of cultivation now offered. In one instance tn e
female-sngers of an entire choir have been
thus encouraged, by the society assuming the
expense of their tuition.

In A SWEET F1x.-A juvenile member of one
of our vitge households, in recent attempt
to make molosses candy, failed TO obtain the
brittle substance which he had anticipated, from
neglect to boil sufficiently. The product of
his labors spread fatty over platter, but OBJ
stinate'y refused to assume any other form than
that of puddle. In great disgust the platter
with its contents was thrust out into a bath
room, as of no possible use. Upon looking
into the bathroom a day or two since, four
good sized rats were found standing knee-deep
in the adhesive fluid, having been thus detained
until their lives passed sweetly away.

The secession and the conditional Union
newspapers of the Border Slave States, talk all
the time as if they understood themselves to be
comforting an immense obligation upon the Un-
ion in general, and upon the North in particular,
by coudescending to consider for moment the
propriety of permitting the North TO have a
voice in the Government, and by naming terms.
upon the basis of which they are willing to re-
main with us until it pleases them to make
some other demand. We beg to in form those
gentlemen that we do not understand them to
be comforting the slightest obligation upon The
Union, or upon the North. So far as We are
concerned, if they are excessively anxious to 90
ont of the Union, and are only staying to oblige
US, we want them TO go out and stay out until
they are tired of it. The perpetual presump-
tion of a parcel of batherskitcs, that the North
is at mercy of miserable secession faction. and
must submit 10 it or become desolate, is intol-
cradle. We are opposed to listening to any
thing further of the sort. We want to see a
National Convention assembled, and the gate
opened for the exodus of the disaffected. We
don't want any body to stay in the Union on
our account, and we want all threats as to its
dissolution now realized, or forever extirguish-
ed.

WHERE THE PEOPLES MONEY GoEs.-Some
time ago the Delaware State Lottery issued and
sent broadcast over the land, Circular, inform
ing the person 10 whom it was sent, ,ahat they
were desirous of sending into i, neighborhood
a prize of $4,000, and after reflection, had con-
cluded 10 make him the recipient of this mag
nifcent sum, provided he would purchase of
them package of Tickets, costing only $40,
and he was further requested to keep their kind
intentions towards him profound secret until
after he had received the cash, when they wish
ed him to make his good fortune known, in or
der to help the sale of their tickets hereafter,
DC.
Hundreds of these circulars were sent into
Holmes county, and did we not know to the
contrary, would not believe that any of our cit
izens were so green as 10 be caught with such
transparent attempt to swindle them out of
$40. A number, however, bit at the bait and
nodoubt are daily awaiting the arrival of their
$4,000. What fine time they have when
they get it-what high living, &c.

,&we publish elsewhere az account, whic

sHWe publish elsewhere AZ account, which
we presume 10 be strictly eilab,e, of the reason
for the sudden appearazee of Mr. LINCOLN in
the Federal city few hours in advance of the
time designated in tine advertised programme.
II seems that Gen. Scorr was primarily re-
sponsible for fine movement, and that il was
produced by Information obtained by detectives
in Baltimore, that some of the desperadoes of
that city had plotted and prepared for the as
sassination of the President elect. There can
be no doubt but Mr.. LINCOLN had advice which
he did not feel at liberty to disregard, overrul-
ing his own inelinations. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. BUCHANAN, when on his wav to
Washington four years ago, was iusulted by
the Plug Uglies of Bal: more. Stones were
thrown at his carriage, and SO threatening were
the demonstrations that Mr. BUCHANAN left Bar
Rum's hotel by private door, some hours be-
fore he had intended to do SO, and took morn
ing instead of an evening train for Washington,
being glad to get out of the Monumental City.
The roughs of that city are better regulated
now than then, but many of them would have
taken special pleasure in insulting and perhaps
killing Mr.. LINCOLN.

"ATTEN1IcS. You've MEN!"-We perceive, by
the advertisement of Messrs. Horace L. Heee-
man d Co., of New York, that the renowned
Stimulating onguent' invented by Dr. Bel
lingham for healthy stimulation in the growth
of beard and whiskers, has now had its Amer
lean market con6ded to their agency. The
high reputation of this article in London, Pa
rs and other cities of Europe, seems to have
been fully justified by experience in this coun-
try. We find that its praises are re-echoed
among all classes. A few weeks are said TO
prove its magical influences upon the beard
or whiskers The British volunteers have made
such free use of it as to attract the attention of
The London Puneh. See advertisement Of

An extraordinary elopement was carried
out at Cincinnati, on Wednesday; a stern
father having forbidden his handsome
daughter to entertain her lovers addresses,
she left the house in the morning, and
was married. Soon afterwards a gentle
man took passage to Memphis, for himself
and negro servant, and arrived just as the
steamer was about sailing; the negro at
once set to work to darn coarse wooden
stocking, in which she was engaged, when,
accompanied by a policeman, the suspect
ing father passed her. After the steamer
got under weigh from the ladies' state
room beautiful wife emerged, beaming
with joyous hop and elegant dressed. Her
negrodom was not even skin deep, but cork.

SMART-The money expended by Hardy
township for outline Maps, was about as smart
an investment as that expended for street cross
ings, in the Borough of Millersburg. The Maps
are OF no use, because they have no keys TO be
used with them, and do not know where to get
them. The street crossings, costing hundreds
of dollars, are sunk SO deep as 10 be of no bene-
fit, and as to practical benefit either are to the
public, the money expended in them might as
well have been thrown into the fire.
