LEAP YEAR MAsQUERADE.-A private
masquerade was given last night at the
house of one of our citizens, which will
be long remembered as fete in which
nothing but pleasure reigned supreme
and from which dull care took wings
and flew away. Though not present in
person we were in spirit, and being a
first class "mejum" we give the follow
ing list of costumes:
Newt l. wore a pea green claw
hammer with red facings; a scarlet
vest, purple kneebreeches; splendid
diamond pin, like that worn by the
Dictator in other days, or like that with
which "Claude Melnotte's Grand
father" the Doge of Venice, married
the Adriatic; yellow gloves, pink era
vat and moss rosebud in his back
hair. He was the belle Of the evening.
Doc. M was gorgeously arrayed
in stylish green coat with slashed
sleeves, ornamented with small gilt
buttons, a crimson plush vest, point
dApplique pants with a delicate purple
stripe, a blue silk cravat and white
gloves. He was decidedly the belle of
the evening.
JEAN T looked lovely in black
and yellow striped velvet with Bessemer
steel buttons, Solferino necktie, nile
green gloves, cornelan breastpin and
a plaster on his fsvorite corns; in the
lancers he was the belle OF the evening
He wore his hair en- panier.
Charley B was en- regle in deli
cafe lavender swallow-tailed coat with
ivory buttons, green brocade vest, cut
in continental style, mole colored pants
with demitrain to each leg; yellow
gloves and brown cravat. He danced
square dances and round, and was
greatly admired for his urbane and easy
manners. He was greatly admired by
the ladies, and was the belle of the
evening.
Johnny Re looked lovely in an
orange colored frock coat, trimmed with
violet lace, white pearl buttons, sky
blue pants-gold stripe; magenta gloves,
purple necktie, and white kid slippers
moustache waxed and appropriately
curled. He attracted great deal Of
attention, and was by all allowed to be
the belle of the evening.
John Rs wore his own black
hair, in which was displayed a modest
moss rose. He was arrayed in an
Attorney .colored jacket, exquisitively
trimmed with short-horns, a red moroc.
co waistcoat, bright green calfskin
pantaloous, milk white vest and
butter-colored cravat. This makeup
was decidedly elegant and he was
voted by all to be the belle of the
evening.
But jesting aside, the affair is said to
have been one Of the pleasantest given
during the season. The light shone
o'er brave women and fair men as
as they ought shine at Leap year
party, and every one was delighted
with the handsome manner in which
everything was conducted.

LrCEY-Yesterda morning lady
lost a pocketbook, containing about
5000. on Main street, Centre Wheeling
On discovering her loss she was in a
terrible flutter. While she was making
search for it, officers St. Myers and
Cooper found it lying on the pavement
near John Roemers dry goods store,
and returned it to its owner. She was
lucky. Had it fallen into other hands
she might never have seen the contents
OF that pocketbook again.

timore and Ohio railroad, near the
South Wheeling glass factory, and
was struck by the COW catcher Of an
approaching train and thrown into the
ditch. Her leg was broken in two
places and she was SO injured otherwise
as to render it necessary TO kill her,

BREAKING UP.-The river commenced
breaking yesterday afternoon. The ice
opposite West Wheeling moved about
one hundred and fifty yards. Steam
boatmen say they fear that when the
ice starts entirely it will make trouble.
The river has risen about foot here
during the past twenty.four hours.

SHRovE TUESDAY, To day Is
Shrove Tuesday, called by the French
Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, because
all the pleasures Of the season eliminate
today. By the other Latin nations it
is called Carnival, from carne, flesh
and vale, farewell-literally farewell to
flesh, as. this is the last day flesh may
be eaten by strict Catholics, except by
dispensation. How we'll we remember
the jollity and gaiety exhibited on this
day in New Orleans and Havana in
years that are gone. Before the war
New Orleans approached nearer the
cities OF the Old World in her mode Of
conducting the carnival than any
other city in America. Her
streets were filled with n 'skers
representing almost every ma
tionality under the sun. Some Of the
costumes worn were very costly, and
considerable competition existed be-
tween the different municipalities as to
which should make the finest display.
The ladies sat on the balconies in front
OF their residences, with baskets Of tiny
eggs filled with flour and perfume, and
amused themselves pelting passengers
with these missiles. Before a man
could walk block on Mardi Gras be
would look as if he had passed through
severe snow storm. And the merry
witches would laugh asif they thought
it the greatest fun in the world. But
this is all gone now, and carnival mas,
querades are now given over to the
negroes and loafers of the city.

Az INTERESTING CLAIM FROM 'iRGlSlA'-
Tue Washington correspondent OF the ne"
York Tribune, writing on the 18th, says:
"The meeting Of the House Committee Old
Claims was unusually interesting tins morn,
ing An important question arose III regard
to The Claim OF Richard Ii. Garrett, OIL VIZ
r:nin. for a few thousand dollars compensa'
tion for the destruction of the barn IN when
7 Wilkes Booth was shot after his assassina'
tion of Abraham Lincoln. The committee
decided that the Government could not DC
held responsible for the claim if the property
was destroyed by the lawlcss acts OF soldiers,
nor if its destruction was ordered by officers
commanding troops. In the former case the
circumstances were beyond the control OF the
Government. and in the latter the loss was
one of the unaI .dahe casualties OF the war
The committee substantially say, by this dc
cisiou, that tho only claims of this nature for
which the Government is responsible are
those in which the property is sold and the
money paid into tue Treasury. This special
claim was unimportant in itself, but it was
intended to make it ii precedent for great
mass OF similar claims for the destruction Of
property by military operations in Virginia
