THE FESTIVAL LAST NIGHT.-The fes-

at Washington Hall last night was one
If the finest affairs of the season. AT
an early hour the hall was crowded with
the representatives of the wealth and
fashion of the city. Wen wager our
last lock of hair that there were more
beautiful women in Washington Hall
last night, than can be gathered to-
pether in any other city in the
Union. except Baltimore, and we
can give old Balty a close rub on the
score of beauty. The various tables
were very well patroDized and articles
sold we'll. Among many other novelties,
were two microscopes, in charge of
Messrs. Booking and Sheibl where a
mule's ear, frogs leg, few cat feathers,
the horn of hog, few drops of pigeon
milk and other wonders were exhibited.
It has been decided to continue the
fair to night. We are glad of this
and hope there may be twice as
many present as there were last night
if the hall will hold them. To "four

we return our heartiest thanks for

fixing our glasses Oh our nose and plac-
