FOURTH OF july BALL.-The Ball for
the benefit Of Fort Homestead promises
TO be a very successful aud brilliant
affair. We are pleased TO learn that
our FIRE boys talk of postponing their
own Ball in order to secure 10 Mr.. Lytord
such q benefit as we all feel he deserves.
Such generosity will be appreciated
fully, not only by our own citizens, but
BY the public of Virginia. and as well
by those who don't dance a. by those
who do. We predict for the Fire De-
partmeut, if its Ball is postponed, such
y rousiug time that Gold Hill and 'lr-
viuia both will fancy the glorious old
Fourth is resurrected especially for the
occasion.
The ARGUMENrS.-The arguments for
the prosecution, in the Millen case, were
well prepared, cogent and conclusive.
DeLoug made II very ingenious defence,
and did all that mortal man could do
TO persuade twelve men that the defend
ant was not a murderer. But, Of course,
i, was talking against plain lettering IN
the sun. With q chance 10 save his
cliant, belong would have very likely
improved il unto success. Judge Pitzer 5
closing summary left no room for doubt.
Now, if the Governor, or our everlast-
ing '.rehearing' Supreme Court do not
interfere. justice for once, at least. will
have its swing in Storey.
WATER DoG.-The Gould ( Curry

opening his mouth and making 4 dive
on the line of the main jet, as though
he was provoked ut the showerlng and
was determined 10 give the spout n good
shake. The scene thus afforded is very
amusing. The little boys who gather
in the neighborhood. on the occasion,
consider the antics Of the canine rare
sport.
