tive part, but finally disagreed as TO the manner
In which the affair should be conducted. The dis.
agreement resulted in downrigh split, in couse-
quence OF which the rival factions each gave a
ball on the same evening, neither OF which were
very extensively patronized. 4 landlord at
whose establishment one of the rival cntertuin-
ments were given, being asked why such a foolish
course was pursued 10 so small village, said lie
knew how the thing was going to end hut the
ladies were in favor Of it, and remonstrance was
useless, as they always preferred two balls TO one
notwithstanding the serious and disastrous con.
sequences frequently resulting from such choice
