We clip the above from the Republican of to-
day. While we agree with the Republican that
ing" and have no doubt that had the Lsvee
come of the " occasion ,could have been one OF
much enjoyment" and that the aforesaid dance
would have " responded to the music up to a
late hour" yet as In consequence of the pouring
rain it was deemed advisable not to hold en-.
tertanment last night, we are not quite pre-
pared to credit the Republicans statement that
1t "was largely attended" and was OF more
than ordinary pleasure to all concerned"
