are two parties to a marriage, and
that the less conspicuous than neces-

The Masquerade.

The most successful attempt ever
made here, in the way Of Masque-
rade Dancing Party, was that given
by our German fellow citizens at the
Turner's Hall last night. 1t was the
occasion of the anniversary of some
German holiday, and in respect to
the number present, the appropriate
funny, comic, serious historical and
other DISCUSSES, and the good order
maintained, and the high reign Of
innocent amusement that prevailed
it was fine success.
The only thing that occurred 70
mar the festivities Of the occasion,
was the throwing Of a stone through
the window by some miscreant who
was probably refused admittance,
whereby gentleman named DeMuth,
from Bloomfield, was slightly cut on
the head. If caught, he ought to be
hung to sour apple tree.
1t PANIED out some $4,000 for the
benefit of the Turner's building fund.
