Friday evening, while Excelsior Pagi was
supplying one of his customers with his de-

started at full speed down the street. They
turned the corner at Pecan street, and kept
on until the wagon otruck post, scattering
the bottles in all directions and playing smash

The Bal Masque last night WAS one Of the
most creditabie affairs of the kind it was
ever our good fortune to witness TIC hall
I (Krohnes) is admirably suited for 4 ball
room, being we suppose about sixty by one
hundred feet in size. 1t is said, that at one
time, there were two hundred and sixty-fve
persons upon the floor of the hall, and that
ninety-six couples were dancing at once.
The hall was brilliantly lighted, and the
music good, but the chief pleasure to the OBJ
server consisted in contemplating the gay
maskers of the evening. Almost all present
were en- masque and costume. Some of these
were elegant, and gotten up with exquisite
taste. Among the characters we may men
ton Mrs. Col. R., who appeared as VIVIAN
der with considerable effect; Mrs. Moi. R.,
also in the same character, dispensed during
the evening wine from her generous canteen
and little cup; Mrs. T. E., as "The Girl of the
Period" created an effect, and Mrs. W.. acted
well the part of consummate Girt.
Col. S. as "big Ingun," made the round of
the hall; Mr.. S. as Horace Greeley, and Mr..
c., as Tweed, personated their characters
with good effect, while many others were
equally noticeable.
The evening was certainly one CT pleasure
and fun-gay cavaliers and ladies, quaint re-
presentations, frolicsome masqueraders,
flirting, danciug-all went off very happily,
and every body enjoyed themselves wonder
derfully well.
Wear not prepared to say when cur citi-
zens will have the pleasure of another mas
quarade, but such pleasurable reunions Ger
taiuly are enjoyed by them.
We take the privilege of publishing the
names of the managers. Messrs. z;mplemau,
McIinnis, Bowers, Koran and Caldwell.

sTRAYED Or STOLEN.

Our beautiful, honest and brave registrar
Has left US, and gone the Lord knows where;
He was beautiful bird, with feathers so fine,
And .top-knot, that shone as the sun
couldn't shine.
His amiable face, so moGestly shy
You could tell he was honest by The cut Of
his eye;
And his dear, sweet mouth. you could see,
bye-the-byei
Was an open sepulchre for chicken PIE.
His pants were as tight as the bark on a tree,
bis coat dysinteris in the highest degree;
he carried himself as proud as d stag.
Or lately imported pure scalawag.
When last he wss cen. he was passing tie
Jail,
His bright eyes extended. his red cheeks
were pale;
And Jehuslike, he was gong:pell mel,
You could track him, they say, 10y his ex-
quisite smell.
We want him SO bad, we will give reward
To sheriff or police, to bring him for warii
But, one thing we say, and distinctly mean,
If you bring the fool back, his clothes must
be clean.

THE GAZETTE.
CEDAR FALLS, JUNE l6, 1871.
The Gazette Enlargement.

On this occasion 1t would be fitting
that we review the history of the
GAZETTE from the time 1t was first
launched forth upon the newspapo-
rial sea, but this busy age admon-
ishes US to briefly allude to the past
the present and future are the watch
words of the hour. In March, 1860,
the GAZETTE was born-a plucky
little sheet of seven columns. In
Oct. 1863. il was enlarged to eight
columns; in April 1863, to nine COL
umns, and to-day, we add 10 its size
the space OF full column to the page.
This makes the second enlargement
of the paper since passing into our
hand, some four years and half
ago. With our new Power Press,
new office, and enlargement, we cut
loose, in part, from the past and enter
upon more favorable auspices and
greater facilities for pushing
things" but we still adhere to our
old determination to let the GAZETTE
speak for itself. We have no hope
or expectations of maintaining the
present standing of the GAZETTE, in
the front rank of journalism In the
State, but by expanding our means
and the same amount OF energy,
pluck and snap as in the past. We
have been thankful many times for
having planted ourselves I'm a COM
munity of people who appreciate the
benefits Of good newspaper, and
who are ever ready to lend their as
sistance to make it such. We have
now one of the first offices i'm the
State, and our facilities for doing
work are unexcelled in any ''coun-
try establishment" but we have in
view other improvements which we
propose yet to make. And. now. if
our large list of delinquents will re.
member, though they count them
selves poor, that the printer is poorer
still, and render US that substantial
encouragement found in ''green.
backs" we shall be enabled to fight
our way through and attain what
everyone should strive for-success.
Patrons, what say you?
