THE STRAWBERRY FEsTIyAL.-The
ladies of the Church of the Assump-
ton have fitted up the Mozart Hall
in magnificent style for their elegant
entertainments that were inaugurated
last night. 1t would require more
space than we have to spare to give
minute description of the many beauti.
full ornaments that beautify the walls.
Wreaths ofevergreen; gorgeous bou-
quets; the United States flag, hand
somely trimmed, onthe front of the
gallery; a magnificent canopied floral
tent, perfect bower of beauty, in the
centre of the room; appropriate mot
toes upon the walls spacious tables,
ranged in order, and grooming be-.

substantials, the country affords, are
tastefully blended, to, make up
scene. Of almost oriental grandeur,
Added to these are fair 'divinities;
blushing, beautious maidens; stately
and elegant matrons, all assiduous in
their attentions to their patrons, and
all Jealous for the laudable cause in
which they are enlisted. Ii H ..-' 7
