The MASK BALL To-NIGHT-A Grand
Afdir.-It is seldom that our citizens will
have such an opportunity for enjoyment
and the witnessing of novelties as will be
presented tonight at Virginia Hall at the
grand masquerade ball of the Germania
Mannerchor, of this city. Mr.. Wrinkle. the
celebrated costumer, of Baltimore, reached
the city on Saturday with magnificent as
sortlnent of costumes, and he hardly had
time to open them for inspection, so great
was the demand for dresses. This fact,
coupled with the number OF tickets already
sold, makes it certain thing that the ball
will be 4 grand affair.
The following is the programme: At 8
o'clock the grand entrance march will be
sounded. AT 10 O'Clock there will be given
three grand tableaux from the " Blind Girl
OF Portici," to be followed by the German
national anthem made so famous in the late
war, "Die Wacht am Rhein," sung by the
Mannerchor, with grand orchestra accom-
paniment and other effects. At Il o'clock
the sound to unmask will be given. Before
this none but maskers will be admitted To
the floor. Spectators will be allowed the
privilege OF the galleries. Tickets and cos.
tunes can be had at Straude's, on Broad
street, opposite the Theatre.

4 HUSBAND PERSoNATED By ANOTHER
MAN IN a New HAVEN CouRT.-New Hdrea,
Co1u1.. Feb. "A few weeks since 4 petit
ton for divorce was presented in this city
To the Supreme Court from Lucicn Is. Ran
doiph, through Charles ii. Fowler, an az.
toIllcy Of New Haven. Tie grounds set
forth were adultery. dcSort0n. and miscon-
duet. The case WIS heard by Judge Minor
and II decree granted upon The testimony
ot two persons, one purp0rting TO be ill-
clcn Randolph. who, it appears, WAS acting
IL Stool-pi"con for the real Randolph, and
the other purpolting 10 be one Samuel :.
Wood, who, it turns out. was an accom-
plicc in the case. The party pcrsonating
Randolph >Wcrc he had been resident
OF New Ijayen for % years. The de-
Two days afterwards the real Ran
dolph. having by this fraud been
freed from his marriage relation with lsa-
dorc Z. Randolph, now, il is believed, liv-
ng in Virginia, married the stcp-daughter
of Jacob IL. Wycoll, of Manchester. \. j.
Through Il New York paper the fraudulent
divorce came to the attention of Mr.. Wy
colt. Greatly alarmed and mortified, Mr..
WycoI Immediately wrote TO Judge Minor,
informing him that Randolph had married
his step daughter, and that he (Randolph)
had not been absent from New jersey Ill
over three months past long enough to
have appeared III New Haven, and that
there must have been Il fraud practiced.
This msrning, also, Mr. II. i. Herman, OF
No. 81 Nassau street, New York, II soti-in-
llw of MIR. Wycoll, appeared before the
court IA the attorney and friend Of the in
iurcd girl, and >ub>tuntiated the statements
in Mr.. WycoIi'S letter. The fraud appearing .
concluSiyclv. TO the court, the decree Of di-
vorce was annulcd. The court took the
counsel for Randolph sharply TO task, and
demanded of him that he clear his skirts OF
all complaints in the base transaction. 1t is,
the Judge said, the orosScst fraud practiced
upon the court in his knowledge OF fpractce
Randolph had never been before the court,
and was personated by one who was pro-
badly unknown III the city, and certainly
not one who had resided here twenty yeaIs
The court further stated he had been in.
formed that the divorce petition came
through one house, Il noted divorce practi.
toner in Hew York city. Mr.. Fowler, the
attorney in the case, here stated at length
his connection with the case, asserting that
he had acted in good faith, and had been
also Il victim Of fraud. The attorney was
ordered to make thorough investigation
Of the case, and report TO the court. The
daughter Of Mr.. Wycotf thus married i
represented as lady Of excellent charac
ter, and one highly esteemed; and it is
conjectured that Randolph thus deceived
and married her i'll expectation of obtain
ing possession of funds belonging TO hel
and then decamping.-Ne,o York Tribune.

afternoon two horses belonging to Colonel
}. l.. Darlington, and attHched to light
wagon, took fright and ran from the corner

Near Governor street they ran into one Of

had his breast ripped open, making terri

were stopped by a colorcd man, who dar-

NJ. Gambetta is guided by a young en-

as an English pen can write polish

born in France and a naturalized
Frenchman, takes his mothers name
De Serre. This officer is barely 26
years OF age, and only passed through
the Ecole Polytechnique some four
years ago. He has from the first
planned the whole scheme of the ci-
gantlc efforts France is now making
to shake herself free from the invader:
and to Gambetta belongs the credit of
having discovered so excellent an in
strument with which to effect the do
sired end. Every movement of the ar
my, and every plan by which to invade
the enemy in the front proceeds from
the tn brain of this Polish youth. To him
