The corpse of fat men start for Lewiston in
the early train this morning. ''What shad-
ows we are, and what shadows we pursue"
The greasy shadows ofthese illustrious heroes
of innumerable and hard fought conflicts at
the dinner table, will march to-day in solid
hope they'll behave themselves and not ''get
the fat all in the fire." by any attempt to
spread" themselves. We trust the manager
of the feshly show will exercise tender
solicitude over these 5ely-cose sprouts
them to the bosoms of their families in all
their native innocency.

a very nice one, by the way, and Immediately
procured q team at stable and proceeded
towards Windsor, in pursuit of suspected par
ties who had just loaded with goods at the
above named store. After riding about six
miles Mr.. Whiting overlook the suspected
team and found his goad stick carefully con-
cealed on the sled of Mr.. Elijah Moody. Mr..

SLIGO. Mr.. Whiting says that the value of
the goad didn't enter at all into the consider

character that when he found the goad in pos
session of the guilty party he felt as though
his weight was sufficient TO entitle him to a
seat in the fat mems convention.

mill in this country. Mr.. Fry was the Great
Great Grandfather of one of the firm Of a

ter (Abiah Holbrook) for tuition in Boston for
a daughter of James Fry, which for penman-
ship has but few equals at the present day.
The paper made in those days was laid by
hand, and some manufacturers in England
still pursue that mode of manufacturing, al
though the projections of machinery has en-
tirely done away with that slow process in this
country as the water lines are initiated by the
new process.

The Masquerade Ball at Gardiner.

The Fourth Annual Masquerade Ball came
| off in Gardiner, on the evening of Wcdnes-
day, 10Th inst, and it was undoubtedly the
Masquerade Ball of the season. The cos
tunes were furnished by Mr. Atwood, of the
well known firm of Curtis & Woodbury., 3l6
Washington street, Boston, and were very
rich and well selected, especially those fur
nished by Curtis & Woodbury.. The music
was furnished by the celebrated Chandler of
Portland, whose choice selections, SO well
executed, were listened to with great pleasure
by an appreciative audience. At an early
hour the Masqueraders began to assemble and
the anti-rooms and corridors were soon crowd
ed by brilliant assembiage impatiently await
ing the signal to march into the hall, and
then to "trip the light fantastic toe"
At length the wished for signal was given,
| and the long column began to file into the
hall and there could be heard from the spec
tators in the galleries expressions Of surprise,
delight and curiosity as each tried to discover
their friends amongst the long column which
was slowly passing around the hall.
Peasants and Kings, Countesses, and Flower
Girls, Generals and Negroes, joined in the
dance, each endeavoring to discover by mo-
ton, tone of voice and form, the identity
of their companions. The comical charac-
tiers especially, were excellently represented,
and sustained, as were the ,other characters
represented. Among those most worthy of
notice in regard to richness of costumes and
representation of characters personated, were
the following:
''Shoo Fly" "a comical costume,) repre-
sented by a Boston gentleman ''Matudor,"
Mr.. Richards of Gardiner; King of Denmark,
W. II. Palmer, Jr. Gardiner Conrad, the
Corsair, Mr.. White of Gardiner: Hamlet Mr..

J. b. Moore, Augusta; Rose of CASTLE, Miss

diner; and many others, which want of space
compcls us to pass unmentioned NOtwith-
standing the dense crowd in the hall. every
thing passed off harmofliously, thanks to
the efficient management of the managers
