THE ETNA KALL.-The first annual soiree OF
the Etna Steam Fire Engine Company took
place last evening at their hall in Queen
street, and proved most delightful success.
The adjoining hall of Hook and Ladder Com

band of music stationed In the connecting
doorway, afforded a splendid space for the
terpsichorean pleasures of the evening. The
hall was brilliantly illuminated, and large
number of the fair sex had prepared them
selves for the conquests and eDjoyments which
the occasion seemed to portend. Although
they had lain aside their red coats, the boys
retained all the joyous spirits they usually
covered, and with just an agreeable competi'
tion for partners, the evening sped pleasantly
away. The season has been Handsomely In.
