SAINT PATRICKS DAY BALL.-The ball
given on the 18th for the benefit of the Cath
olic Church, was a very agreeable party. So
nancially. A large number of ladies and
gentlemen from Amador and the different
towns in this county, graced the scene with
their presence, which, in addition to those of
our own citizens who attended. was suffic-
lent to just comfortably fill Leger's large hall.
The mirrors, pictures, banners and evergreens
with which the ball room was decorated,
were very tastefully arranged. and when the
hall was lighted up and the floor was filled
with dancers, we have never witnessed a
gayer spectacle than was then presented
Dancing commenced about nine o'clock, and
continued without intermission until twelve,
when all descended to the supper room and
partook of the refreshments which the ladies
of Mokelumne Hill had bounteously furnish
ed for the occasion. The supper was really
excellent, and ample justice was done to it by
the guests. After supper was concluded, all
returned to the hall, the festivities were re-
sumed and kept up until an early hour IN the
morning. The music, which was furnished
by Church. Jones & Kay, was, as matter of
course, superb. Those gentlemen were new
er guilty of supplying any other kind. The
floor managers were attentive and obliging,
and everything passed off smoothly. We for
one, wish that st. Patricks Day came often
er. Quite sum was realized to be devoted
TO the object for which the ball was given.
MASQUERADE BALL.-A masquerade ball
will be given, on Wednesday evening.
March 9th, at the Washington Hotel. Good
music has been engaged for the occasion, and
all who attend can confidently expect to
have the funniest time imaginable. No one
will be admitted who is not masked and
dressed in costume, or disguised with a
domino. A masquerade is something to
winch our citizens are not often treated. and
they should not let this opportunity pass
unimproved. Masks can be obtained at Mrs.
Adams and anybody can improvise a cos
tune of some kind-no matter what. There
will be sport at the masquerade and we in
tend to be there. Tickets, one dollar. to he
obtained at Weihe's grocery store or Mrs.
Adams. A good supper will be served at
IL o'clock.
GONE TO THE STATBs.-On Thursday
morning last one of our oldest and best
known citizens, Mr.. c. K. Bryant, left us on
a visit to his friends in the Eastern States.
His family still remains among US, and we
understand that it is his intention to return
as soon as he can transact the business which
called him away. We wish him safe voy-
age, pleasant visit and speedy return.

Grapes.

Soil FOR A VINEYARD.-The report Of
the NOr'herp Ohio and Lake Shore Glape
Growers Association for 1865, ex-
ploded some Of the former ideas about
grape culture-especially the idea that
grapes should be grown on soil highly
mOnured. The report says:
Contrary tothe idea entertained at the
commencement Of grape culture 10 this
country, it is now the opinion of ma
jorlty Of vignerOus, that dry soil pro.
duces the best wine, especially with Ca
.tsWba grape. Stiff clay is preferred -
The soil should be dry i: hence, under.
draining is often necessary. Sandy soil
may produce as inc clusters, but the
quality cfthe vine is inferior. Gravelly
soil is probably Dext best. Clay crrsts
that crop out Of sandy or gravelIy dis
trie'S are excellent. Manuriug is also
discarded. Most experienced growers
BOW consider manure an injury when
wipeis the object of production. The
vine will bear abundantly loug time,
and remain heaIthy on a soil too poor
for common farming. Manuriug may
spoil vineyard. We remember a uota-
lie instance of the truth Of this in the
vineyard which produces the far-faned
Johaonisberger situated on the Rhine
A proprietor once had them heavily
dunged, and the quality was perceptibly
irjured for many years following, though
'hei yield. was increased. The wine
makers state that the must Of grapes
grown on the upland clay soils is richer
than that from the a1,ter lan6s Of the
Lake Islands or from sandy coils.

Predictions for this Wear,

The year Of our Lord, 1867, is to b,
the eventfuI one.
Through the whole course of the pres
ent year, when the moon vans the nigh
will grow dark.
% several occasions during the year
the sun will rise before certain people
discover it, and set before they have fn'
ished the days work.
1t is quite likely that when there il
business doing, many vii! be heard to
complain Of hard times, but it is equally
certain that all who hang themselves will
escape starvation.
If dandieS wear their boards, there will
be less for the BARRIERS, and ho who weais
mustachios will fnd'sOmething to snecza
at.
Whoever Is in love will think his mis-
Iress a perfect angel, and may find out
the truth of his suspicious by getting
married.
Many delicate ladies' whom no one
would suspect will be kissed without
telling their Mas.
There will be more books published
than will find purchasers, more rhymes
written than will find readers, and more
bills made than will fnd payers.
If any young lady Should happen to
blush she will look red iD the face, with.
out The u'e,of paint; if she dreams of a
young man three nights 10 succession,
it will be sign of something; if she
dreams Of him four times, or have the
the toothache, it is ten to one she will be
. long time in getting either of them
out of her head.
Many people will drink more strong
drink than will be necessary to keep them
sober, aGd take more medicine than will
be requisite to the enjoyment of good
health.
q Dinners and antertainmabts will be
given 10 those who have enough at home,
and the poor will receive much advice
gratis, legal and medical excepted.
The public debts Of the repudiating
states will hardly be adjusted, aad the
same time will, very probably attend
many private contracts 10 this latitude
He who marries this year will run a
great risk, especially if he does it in q
bury, ,'e'a"9
He who steals match, gives tattIers
occasion to gossip, and will be apt to in
volVe himself ana bride in disagreeablc
relations.
There will be great noise all over The
county when it thunders, aud tremen.
dous dust will be kicked up 'oOcaBio nally
by coach horses.
Many ladies who hope for it, but lit
tie expect it, will be married many whc
confidently anticipate That glorious con
sumatiOD, will be doomed 20 disappoint
ment.
The world will go round aa usual, an,
oome back to the place whence il set out
as will many man who engages il
business.
