THE sPRINGs-THE PROPRIETOR, &c.

at THE SPRINGS very pleasantly indeed.
The company of guests and visitors has
been quite agreeable; and Mr.. WILSON, the
excellent and gentlemanly Proprietor, has
done his part in most commendable man
ner. Mrs. WILSON, the accomplished wife
of the Proprietor, is also entitled to all the
compliments that may be bestowed upon
her, for SO handsomely discharging every
duty that belongs to her position. The
same may be said of Miss WILSON, the
agreeable and beautiful daughter Of the
Proprietor. To the efficient and accommo-
dating Clerks, Messrs. CowLEs and NYE,
are the guests largely indebted for many
attentions and courtesies which they have
enjoyed. am glad to learn that The
SPRINGS have been financial success this
season, as we'll as a success in every other
way. p. an 'o
- .nn III THE CLOSING BALL.
The closing ball last night was grand
and enjoyable affair. The company was
much larger than was anticipated, and it
was superb and elegant. Soon after eight
o'clock, the guests began to assemble in the
spacious reception room, and 1t was not
long before the dancing was in full blast.-
1t was'a sight worth coming long distance
to see. Many of the ladies were very rich
ly and splendidly attired, and would have
honored and adorned any dress-ball in this
or any other country. Inever saw a finer
display of most exquisite taste than wit
messed last night. There seemed to be moth
ing wanting to complete picture of love-
illness and beauty which no pen can de-
scribe--which the artist alone can repro
duce.
Among all the beautiful ladies, so ele-
gantly and tastetully attired, the general
Judgment awards the pre-eninence to one
of the fair daughters of our own State,
whose destinations and accomplishments
charm every circle she honors with her
presence-whose queenly beauty, scholarly
requirements, and brilliant conversational
powers, enable her to hold a position
that few attain. Those who were here at
the ball last night need not be told that l
allude to Mrs. BID, of Mansfield. Among
the representatives of the Capital City of
Ohio, noticed lady whose rare excel
lence and noble qualities have endeared her
to all her friends-whose fine appearance,
commanding presence, and varied accom-
plishments, are themes of commendation
wherever she is known. That lady is Mrs.
In. Cincinnati had brilliant array of
representatives in attendance. Among
them noticed particularly Mrs. HID, the
wife of the editor of one of the leading
journals of that city, who is an elegant
lady-together with her sister, Miss B-s;
also Mrs. st, Miss R-m, Mrs. S-r, Miss
BID, Miss Cd, and others. Memphis,
Tennessee, was handsomely and creditably
represented by Mrs. K-n, and Mrs, Ms
Mrs. H-n, of indianapolis. was elegantly
arrayed, and much admired: and made
very favorable impression for the Capital
City of Indiana. Philadelphia, Pa, had
gay and dashing representative in at
tendance in the person Of Mrs. J--n.
Among the Delaware ladies who were
present last night, I noticed Mrs. R-d, and
Miss S-r, both of whom were intelligent
and accomplished representatives of your
neighboring town. There were many 9TH
er ladies in attendance whose names did
not learn, whom should be pleased to in
dicate and characterize, had the means of
doing so.
l have neither the time nor the space to
name the gentlemen who were present; but
it sufficientto say they were brave and gal
lant, and ndconducted their part of the exerci-
ses in very creditable and acceptable
manner-especially when supper was an
nounced, and the champagne bottles began
to pop. The supper was a superb and ele-
CANT affair, rejecting great credit upon the
host and hostess, who are noted for their
hospitality. .aj 9 uo-
