The Leap Year Ball, at Bonds Hotel,
Oh Thursday eve, March 18th was an en-.
tirely successful affair. although not SO
many were present rs at first anticipated.
Several couples from Cuttingsville inclu-
ding Mr.. II. Todd and lady were present. /.
Walingiord aud Dorset were also repre- /
-entcd. We have never attended party 1
which passed on more pleasantly than
his, The music furnished by the Rnt- /
aud Quadrille Band, Frank Wilson con-
luctor, was executed III It's usual excell- 4
mt and pleasing style, and the happy
hrong "gaily lripped the light fantastic
oe' TO the harmony Of sweet sounds
until morning dawucd. The occasion
vas novelty here, as il has been many
ears since u Leap Year Ball has been
Ield. 1t was managed by the ladies in
n admirable manner, aud reflects no
mall amount of credit upon their ability
u handling such matters. II they are as
apable of managing general affairs as
hose of Leap Year Balls, we think that
goman's rights would greatly improve
he present system. And IN this connect
On we will not forget to mention the adj
lirable manner in which Mrs. III. w.
lincoln performed her duties as floor
and which added greatly to the
njoyment Of the occasion. The supper
was also excellent aud one
'hich only Bond knows how to furnish.
md thus has passed one Of the most en-
,yaDle occasions of the season, and will
ing be rendered by those who particpa-
