The FENIAN BALL, given in Lena
hans Hall, on the evening of January LIST,
was probably as large party as ever assem-
bled N Mineral Point, lis couples attend
ing. Ever thing was done in excellent or
der and style and we need only say that
ruddy dawn found the dance still going on
y HINT.-We take the liberty of
sending the TRIBUNE to a number who have
given US no authority to do so, confident
that they will not object, and hopeful that
they will instruct to enroll them among

for 81 such papers as this.
TEA NEETING.-The Annual Tea
Meeting of the Ladies of the p NJ Church,
on New Years day, is reported a success,
as usual. We failed to learn the amount
realized. The exercises in the evening
were attended by full audience, and gave
entire satisfaction.
STATE CHARITIES CoNTINUED.-We
are pleased to publish a second able dis
course on the subject of our State Charita-
Bile Institutions, by our correspondent
: D." We are promised frequent articles
from . D's'' vigorous quill, on subjects which
viii interest and instruct our readers
THE Old Year expired in a terri
bic rage, squirting snow and sleet in the
face of its successor; but when the new
born child assumed sway, it soou appeared
with a smiling countenance, made war on
the weapons of its predecessor, partially
melting the snow, rendering travelling hor-
rible.
SWINE FLEIsCH. - The present
price of pork almost pursuades us that that
meat is unwholesome: from nine to ten cts
per pound, wholesale, sounds decidedly
= unwholesome" to consumers ears. Pro-
ducers, however, find music in the sound.
and are improving it by trotting in their
hogs quite lively to the tune.

the safest, aid, on the whole, quite as
cheap, to patronize established firms, such
