here, at the same time inviting almost every
young man in town, while, OF course, the un-

Arising from the table, the company pro-
ceeded again to the hall and dancing was
resumed. From that time till about four
o'clock it was repetition of what occurred
before supper, when it broke up with all
more than we'll satisfied with the pleasure
the evening had afforded. The next day lit
tie was talked of but the brilliancy of the
assemblage, the excellency of the music and
the disposition of all who were there to be
sociabe and interesting. It is true that it
was not so densely crowded as many | have
had the pleasure to attend-there was just
enough pleople there to make it pleasant.
Twenty -eight couple sat down to supper,
while some fifteen or twenty young gentle
men also found seats. Taking it all together,
notwithstanding the opposition of a certain
little coterie who aspire to be tie bon tons
of Placeryillo, it was the most successful un
dertaking of the kind, of which have been

Crowds of people still continue to flock to

almost an unceasing line of footmen. What

do any prospecting, and from present appear
ances there is but little likelihood of water
