A good deal of amusement has
been caused by hoax, said to be

drawn up in very passionate terms,
and sent copies of it to sixty gentle
men, requesting each one to meet q
certain admirer under the Post Office
at half past eight o'clock on Friday
evening, each gentlemen to wear a
white rosette. Most of the receiver ms
of the love letter supposed that he
alone was the happy man, to whom
some forlorn damsel had never told
her love till he received the epistle,
which ran as follows:
"My Dear Sir: I have tried to con
ceal my love for you, but cannot en-.
dure it any longer. l have never
ceased to love you since the first hour
I hehcld you, and if you know what
unrcquited passion is, I am sure you
will forgive your devoted admirer. -
IF You will have the kindness to favor
