THB NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY had a very de-
lightful " Sociable" at Odd Fellows Hall last
night The proceedings were prefaced by some
remarks by the President, Hon. +. b. French:
AFTER which Hon Horatio King read an original
istic and descriptive of New EngAnd life, man
ners and customs. Gen. Balloch gave a Scotch
song with spirit; after which the floor was cleared
some hours. The fact that this large hall WAS
allied with New England folk serves to show how
largely Washington is colonized from that quar-
ter Of the CniOn
