generally set apart for the grand
Dedication ball of the new Town
Hall. At m earl" part of the
evening the people commenced
to gathers aeI soon the room
was filled, yet not enough to
crowd il, After the Band took
their seats the grand march Was
played, when all the galexy ot
Eaton was represented with U
lively sprinkliug OF the teatonic
race; and Il ever over the Rhine
was put through it was done this
night. Never before since Eaton
was founded did the Germaus
20 in on the festive boards as
they did this time. There was
our old friend Augy and his frau,
G. p. Thum, &C., &c, and right
heartily they went in, though
at one time we thought Charley
made a slip; then with Crit and
his little one. But to top all was
his honor, 6 feet 2 In his stock
ings, and q merry little lass Of
8 feet 4, promenading; and as
an experiment, the band played
q waltz to test the strength of
one of the Germans, Strobe, but
windawent further thar muscle,
and he, Stroble, cRved. The CO.
tilIians were all alive with mirth
and fun, and the whole even
ings' enjoyment passed off with
out an obstacle 20 mar its pleas
ure, nor excitement or accident.
We understand Nj. Shaw's boy
was burntin sending ups balloon
with . turpentine ball attached.
This amusement is fraught with
danger, anil the Mayor should
stop it, last summer they came
near burning a large building
with their ball of fire falling near
it and setting FIRE to grass &c
on the ground. We looked to
see eur fat reporter, the tele-
graph operator on the floor, for
we know his mouth watered,
but no did not go in, being too
bashfuI.
