The ball last night was one grand success.
The room was beautifully decorated with
garlands, feStoons, and tapestry. Hundreds
of sparkling lights flashed upon the brilliant
scene. At half-past 8 the doors were thrown
open, and the s,Irging crowd flowed in from
the main entrance Above the hum of the
mingled voices sweet strains Of music rose
in flowing cadence, gladdeniug and cheering
every heart. ! cannot so into particulars OF
