THE FESTIVAL at the Clifton Hotel, on We'd.
nesday evening. under the auspices Of the ladies
of the Episcopal church and for the benefit of
the Grammar School in charge Of that church,
was enc of the most admirable affairs Of the sort
we ever witnessed. Mr.. Howard, the geatleman.
ly proprietor Of the hotel, having most generous.
y placed at the disposal Of the ladies all the ap-
pointmenn Of the house, the ladies' had no moro
to do than display their good things On the ia.
blss and serve them. The evening was very
stormy, yet the large dining hsll was we'll alled
from 9 to 12 o'clock, and the supper was really,
superb. Mr.. Prsssett having donated beauti-
ful and valuable to the ladies, it was decid-
ed to give it to the most popular gentleman pres

Various names were started, bat soon the
contest narrowed down bstwesa Nr. Noulton
and Mr.. Tobin, the polite and ever attentive
clerks. 1t was NIP and tuck" between them.
until the last minute when the vote was to be an
nounccd, when the Tobin party sdroitly clipped
in ten votes, which placed their candidate five
ahead. Whersupon the stick was in due
form presented to Mr.. T., who walked about the
balance OF the evening fourishing his present,
and growing about an inch taller every ten
minutes
In like manner very beautiful tidy, . pres

most popular lady present. Half dozen of cam
didates were presented, but here too the contest
soon narrowed itself down to two,-Mrs. How

Minnie Russell. In the cad, however, Mrs. How.

present in triumph. In both cases, We think the

The Maskenbal' at Turner Hall on Tuesday
evening was certainly all that was promised in
the bills-an occasion of infinite amusement
and mirth, to participants, we have NO doubt as
well - to the numerous spectators. The large
hall was conveniently filed with maskers, and
all the available surrounding space with specta-
tors. embracing many Of eur leading citizens,
with their wives and daughters. Some of the
costumes were rich and beautiful, some strikingly
characteristic of what they were intended to re.
present, and others simply grstesque. There
were Hamlet or two. Spanish Grandee, prin-
ces, peasant girls, milk maids, flower girls apple
venders &C., all engaging literally and freely in
the "giddy waltz" 1t is almost needless to say,
that the most perfect good order and decorum
were maintained throughout, aud that the whole
affair was eminently creditable to the Turner'S,
under whose auspices the affair was gotten up.
I'VE GtougM we had made an arrangement to
give much fuller account Of the affair, with q
description of the leading costumes, &e., but up
to the late hour ut which this 10 written, our
reporter has failed to put in an appearance.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT At WENONA.-By
the Ottawa Republican we learn that, on Thurs
day evening Of last week, ut Wenona, . boy
named Baker, about Is years old, accidentally
shot his sister aged 16, killing her instantly.
Our informant says the boy, with two or three
other members Of the family, were in the room,
the boy playing or triAing with the shot gun,
said to his sister, "How easily could shoot
yeu,' not dreaming that the piece was loaded.
just at that fatal moment an older brother OPEN
ed the deor and shouted to the brother that the
gun was loaded, but an instant too late to pre-
vent the fearful consequence In view of the
many fatal accidents Of a similar character, how
long will loving aud indugent parents continue
to permit the handling of firearms by careless
and inexperienced boys?

THE VELoCIPEDE-All the towns around US,
even down to Morris had been boasting of .heir
vslocipedes for weeks past, while Ottawa had
none. The reason why Ottawa hung back was,
that she hesitated in the choice Of her man to
introduce it. He was found, however, in our
great King Of Photographs and Pictures, the in
evitable, the irrspressible BOWMAN! Having
perfected himself by few hours practice in the
Sons of Temperance Hall, he made his first
grand appearance On the street on Monday. at
tracing, as a matter of course, an immense
crowd u spectators.

But Bowman is not selfish. His wooden horse
was at the service of all his friends, and many
others have been trying it, both on the street
and in Temperance Hall. 1t is three wheeled
vehicle, but can be changed to two wheels, and
is very handsomely gotten up.
