The orphans, Fair.

Another large crowd assembled at Ma
sonic Hall last night, and the ladies were
well patronized. Nothing could surpass
the perfect good hulnor which prevailed
throughout the evening, all wearing an ar
CT Joy and gladness. The hall presented
brilliant appearance in itself, but when the
throng had reached the utmost limit OF the
hall, it presented from the platform,
scene of SURPRISING beauty. The ladies'
appeared, if possible, more lovely than
ever before, their eyes speaking the glad
ness of their souls, the heat and excite
ment producing gentle blush on their
cheeks, and their persuasive eloquence
opening the hearts and loosing the purse
strings of the veriest miser.
The prizes went of briskly, and the
losers, as well as the winners, seemed to
be perfectly satisfied.
The shooting gallery was well patron
lied, and another lucky man carried off
cup as trophy.
The polls are nightly attracting more
and more attention, and the admirers of
each of the fair candidates are becoming
somewhat excited on the subject. What
the result will be we cannot say; but we
can easily imagine dozen gentle hearts
