the evening ofaaid day. We were arraid
that VIC should either bavo ball on tho
. brain, or fiiling in that, discover ourscll
transformed into ball, when 10, what
tnps We should get liom the Croqne,
Club. We shudder at tho thought. We
are gratiiied to learn, however, from q
iiend who was present. that the inter.
csting 0ccaSion--the Ball.-was fraught
with many pleasant scenes and much
real enjoyment. Tho ladics, as usual,
were charming, ind although they were
largely in excess Of the gentlemen, the
l"'tcr wcro conr,ly in their deyonrs, and
anticipated all those little attentions,
(which give zest to occasions Of the
kind, with elegant grace and sauvity.
The supper was su,nptuous, tho music
good aud the dancing graceful Aud
while .he evening without was quite in.
element, clcmency prevailed within.
The ball was godi one Verbum sat.

DEAD lit becomes our painful duty to
record tho dea'h OF hlr. A. Subscriber, Of
whose melancholy demise M mention has
yet been mnde lie >hufn Il OF tho coil very
suddenly nnd not long sluce. DtbMrred the |
advantages ofn liberal education in youth,
a. S. cschewcd reading. therefore; papers,
periodicals and books had no charm for him.
His guiding principle WAS the love Of money
and in Its acquisition he spent nearly tho
whole Of his lite. Ahont one year brforc his |
death, friend stopping ut his house drew
from his pocket newspaper, 1t was tho |
Herald, our pnper. he read. became iutcr.

the a'nile, md what piper 1t was he read. |
INC necessary information was given. The |
paper wns looked at, borrowed, aud read
carefully. The most interesting period In

It is dated his ruin. The glimpse ut men

linn to subscribe but his unfortunate love of
money Kept him from paying in advance |

Weakness we consented to let him have it on |

OF good. The charity which covercth ain
s"emed to hc taking root in him, and al,
though he had given nothing Ms vet in a
tangible form yet much was expected, and
thus he lived on happily for II few months. |
ihe sequel Is melancholy. Wo wanted his |
