NEW YEARS BALL.-It seems scarcely nee
essary to remind our readers of the Grand ball
and exhibition drill to be given by the Cadets
this evening, for everybody is talking about it,
and the ladies in particular are anticipating
much enjoyment. II is to be hoped that this,
their first ball, will be marked success. In
deed, when one recalls the energy with which
this 'crack" company executes whatever it un-
dertakes, its success can scarcely be doubted.
