SnIrHKlNs ApvENURE.-It is unpleas-
ant to witness any occurrance that is at
all likely to bring the blush OF shame
TO the faces OF our friends. This was
illustrated in the case of Tommy
Snithkins the other day. Smitbkins
lives on the Island. He and number
of nice young men resolved to 60 out
riding. They extended invitations TO
about q dozen OF our Islands fair
daughters, and Smitbkins bad on a
nice suit OF light colored clothing which
he purchased the day before FOR SIS.
He fattsred himself that the suit be-.
came him well, and indeed it did look
well on him as was remarked by sever
al OF the young ladies. About seven
o'clock all were in the height OF their
glory. Smith kins got his boat. helped
the three young ladies in the boat, and
before getting in himself, he thought
he would do what the sailors
call "shove off," He gave the
boat push, aud waiting until
the last moment TO chow his
AGILITY, made a spring for the seat,
at this unfortunate moments "trip was
card and the seams Of his pantaloons
parted in 8 very interesting manner to
behold-especially as there were three
modest young ladies trying to make be-
lieve they didn't notice it, and all the
while the ely rogues were winking at
one another. smithkins, with muir
tered oath corsiguing the merchant
who sold him the clothing to a region
which can easily be imagined, hastily
dropped into seat and came very near
upsetting the boat, at which the ladies
seemed frightened and poared; bringing
the whole party. already stlost, back
to the landing to see what the smatter
was.
The young ladies declared that they
guessed they wouldn't 60 on the water,
and REQ uested SmitbkiDs to help them
out OF The boat, which, owing to the pc
culiar nature OF his ripped pantaloons
he would much rather not have done
He would have preferred TO keep his
seat until the ladies got home. But there
was no help for it and amid
the laughter Of the crowd, sud with q
very red lace, and great drops OF per.
SEPARATION on his "pohle brow" be arose,
and after safely landing his far freight,
made his e,cspe, and arrived at home
in dilapidsted condition. After max
ing inquiries, Young Smithkins con-
cluded that the only way to avoid the
re.occurrsnce Of such an awkward &C
cident, was to buy bis clothing OF Il
Frank, the peoples square dealing one
price Clothier. 40 Monroe street, as biz
superior clothing vss never known to
rip, and is sold at very reasonable prices
Readers bear in mind, Franks asking

titled 10 cssb reward Of SlGO.

A SPLENDID BALE.-The "AupiYer.

A SPLENDID BALL.-The "Auniyer-
sary Dress soires" given BY tue
"YouDg Mems Social Union" an as-
ISOLATION of fashionable young Jews in
this city, at the Mcclure House last
night, was the most elegant and enjoy
able assembly of the season. Some
fifty couple OF the flower Of the jewish
population Of the city were present
all radiant in diamonds and in gorg-
eous and tasteful attire. Where all
we're so we'll dressed it is useless to
speak of particular toilettes. The las
dies attending the soiree are deserving
of commentator for the good taste
they displayed. The utmost care was
exercised to make the party strictly Sc
lect and first. class, no tickets being sold
to any who could not pass the severest
scrutiny. The result was a
most enjoyable gathering at
which all present gave
full vent to their love for dance and
song. Mr.. PUN WAS one of the chief
spirits in the affair and to his exertions
much of its success is due.
The music was furnished by Rra-
mer's String Band, and no better proof
OF its excellence need be given than the
mention OF this fact We learn that it
is the intention OF the managers OF the
Young Mems Social Union to give SIM
liar balls monthly during the coming
winter.

MORE ENERGY DISPLAYED IN THE
MANAGEMENT OF OUR OPERA HOUSE -
We learn that Manager James Fitz-
simmons has completed arrangements
go that the citizens OF our neighboriug
towns can avail themselves Of the OPP
portupity OF attending the Opera House
nightly, without any extra trouble OF
expense to themselves. The dramatic
company regularly engaged at the
Opera House is without doubt the finest
to be found in any city outside Of New
York and 1t only remains with
the people TO give satisfactory support to
the enterprise and there will be nothing
lacking in the management.

SHEEP EATING THEIR Wool

SHEEP EATING THEIR WooL.-In-
stances of sheep eating their own wool
are qnitc common. especially during
the latter part Of Winter and early in
the Spring. Some have thought the
habit resulted from the presence Of
small parasites, as minute as the red
spider of some towering plants, which
produce an irritation, and to allay this
the sheep acquired the habit of biting
his own skin aud thereby eating his
own wool. 1t is generally believed,
however, that the habit is analogous
to that Of hens eating their own shells,
and the abnormal appetite Of cows for
old bones, woolen rags, and etc.. aud
is caused by an exhaustion of the
phosphate in the SOIL Old pastures
Of fields that have long been cropped
are different in these clements, hence
the absence Of them in the feed and
consequence wsrnr Of rhcul by the AMI
mails. As preventive, mix q small
quantity Of bone meal With corn meal,
and give them an occasional feed
Sulphur also has been found to be a
preventive Of the habit. and many far
mers keep their stock constantly sup
piled with it. 1t no doubt assists in
giving a healthy tone to the system.
