A Leap Year Party.-The ladies, God
bless them gave Leap Y ear Party at Union
Hall on Tuesday evening, the very gayest
of the season, so gay that Lords of Creation
will do well TO take it as model for all time
to come. In the first place, the plan was
made on correct principles. The youngest
and prettiest of the fair ones were sent to
pull the old bachelors out of their dens and
brush The cobwebs f,om their eyes. Several
old hermits who hadn't tripped a tee for
many year were brought TO time by their
fair escorts. If they don't see double "here-
after" it will be their own fault. The regu-
lations of the ball room were absolutely per-
feet. No ''wall flowers" were allowed to
bloom there. The homeliesti men and the
worst dancers had their programmes full be-
fore the first dance was fairly over, and the
rest didn't wait very long. And then the
elegant supper at KEssLER'sl What abill
of fare! What graceful, delicate and unob;
trusive attentions! We can't do the subject
justice, and only wish that Leap Year came
four times as often

The Laie Fire in Eeoekland.


rs.t. RocKLAED, Jan. %, 1868.
To the Editor of the Press:
Fire broke out in the partially finished house
of Mr. Pillsbury johnson, Pamer's Hill, Ma
sonic St., at nearly half past two this after
noon. s
Some glue was left to heat in pot upon
the stove and the floor of this unfinished
room was Uttered with shayings. 1t is sup
posed that the glue boiled over, caught fire
and communicated it to the shavings. A
neighbor was the first to notice the fire and
give the alarm; but efforts to save the house
were unavailing. In twenty minutes, the fire
had complete mastery. The building was in
the outskirts of the city and the wind favored
the houses nearest to the fire. The engines
were on hand promptly, although the steam
er's horses were as far off as possible from tue
fire, but only one engine could get water.
Mr.. johnson is by trade carpenter. He
lost all his tools and most of his furniture.
Mrs johnson is an invalid. ,
The insurance on the house and contents
was $780, on condition that the house should
be finished, which it was not

there is suffering among the poor it must be in

The books the of cotton manufacturers look
fairer than has been anticipated. The reduc-
ton in wages has produced some grumbling
among the operatives, but majority are just
as well off as though they had more.
Farmers are holding on to their hay since
the recent decline in price, but most of those
in this vicinity can do it without disadvantage
to themselves, as their proximity to railroads
renders it easy to transport at any time.
The brewery here has paid better dividends
to the overs than at any previous time. The

rives its supply over the Great Fails and Con-
way Railroad has made up.
An analysis of the different kinds of coffee

Third lot-Chcory and small part coffee.
Fourth lot-Peas and coffee.
Fifth lot (Pure Java -Barley, peas, chicory

of the vinegar in the market was made of sui

GRANT AND Nice Democratic

Y GRANT AND MCCLERNAND.-The Democratic
papers continue to reproduce, with comments,
the letter of the Illinois politician, McClernand,
containing attacks upon General Grant 1t
was well understood at the time that McCler-
nand's failure to come up, prevented Grant
from capturing Pemberton's entire army at the
battle of Champion Hills. Logan had got
round completely in the latter's rear. Grant
relied npon Nc Clernand to support him. But
like Grouchy, at Waterloo, he was not up at
the moment when most needed. If, instead of
delaying on the road, McClernand had obeyed
instructions Pemberton's whole force would
have been bagged, and Vicksburg occupied
without the firing of gun. When not long
after Grant assaulted the stronghold, McCler-
nand sent word to him my men are in two of
the enemy's rifle pits, &C." This dispatch led
the Commanding General to persist in the as
sault, until three thousand men were killed and
wounded. Subsequent investigation showed
that no part of any fort had been carried or
held by McClernand, and General Grant, in
his report to General Halleck of the assault,
said, General McClernand's dispatches mis-
led me as to the facts, and caused much of this
loss. He is entirely unfit for the position of
corps commander, both GA the march and on
the battle field. Looking after his corps gives
me more labor and infinitely more uneasiness
than all the remainder of my department"
