SOCIAL LEvEE. The Portland Spiritual
Association, not being discouraged by the se-
we're storm which ragged at the time Of the
recent levee given by them for the benefit of
the Widows Wood Society, will hold another
social levee, for the same purpose, this eve-
ming, at new City Hall. We hope our citizens
will attend in large numbers and thus mate
rally aid the treasury Of the Wood Society.
The tickets are fixed at the low price Of TWEEN
ty-ive cents, and the hall should be crowded
to its utmost capacity. The benevolence of
the object, to say nothing of the pleasure de-
rived at these levees-whom none know bet
ter how to get up than the Spiritual Associa-
tion-should attract as large an audience as
the hall can contain.
