LADIES' FAIR AT SACCARAPPA.-We learn
that the good ladies of the Congregational So
ciety at Saccarappa, propose to hold Levee
in Warren's Hall, on Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings of next week, for the benefit of
the society, which promises to be an unusually
interesting affair; and our judgment is formed
not only from what we hear about the details
in progress, but also, and especially, from the
well known character of the ladies who have
the matter in hand. That is guarantee of
success in whatever enterprise they engage,
and makes the thing as sure as to coming
time.
Among the attractions will be choice eX-
hibition of tableaux vivants, in which the large
experience of these ladies has made them an
fat post Office from which rare epistles
viii be delivered to the person whose "name
is on the back of the letter, sure;' fishing
pond whence certain kinds of dle,cires do
plentifully abound; gymnastic exercises by a
class of young misses, under the direction Of
Miss Mary Haskell, who has had experience as
teacher in Pennsylvania, and who is mistress
of the art; together with concord OF sweet
Sounds" ice creams and other refreshments,
and grand good time in general and particu-
lar, all and singular; to which we are request
ed cordially to invite call the region round
about" service we most gladly perform, and
may we be there to see." aq1V
