The SoIREE. The scholars attached
TO Prof. Bsgar's dancing academy. with
g number OF invited friends. passed
several hours very pleasantly, last night,
in Parker's Hall. tripping the light fam
!tastic, to. the music OF an excellent ;
string band. The scholars showed their
proficiency and the care which had been
bestowed upon them by their instructor. y
The inclement weather prevented many
persons from attending. bnt there were
enough present to form eight OK ten
sets. We congratulate the Professor on
the success of his first soiree. ID

! PHGSIxIASA.-Judge not of men and
things at first sight.
Better to be- idle than occupied IN
doing wrong.
! Why not polish our manners as we'll
as our furniture.
The hardest thing in the world to
hold is Nh unruly tongue.
The less business man has, the more
he mcdales with his neighbours.
! A good way to dispel the gloom of
misfortune is to make light of your
troubles.
The old maxim that "man proposes.
is fatty contradicted by Massachusetts
spinsters, who only wish he did.
( The bill to exempt manufacturing
capital from taxation for ten years,
which hing fire ct the last session, has,
by agreement Of the Conference Com
mittee. become law. We expect somo
benefits from it. although the scarcity of
money will, of course, retard any enter.
prises which may be attempted at the
present time. Manufacturing might be
made vastly profitable in this State,
where genial climate, raw material,
water power. cheap labor. good railway
system, nearness and accessibility to
markets, are all elements in its favor.
Farmers and others ought to combine,
start their small factories, spin up their
crops, and export yarn, instead of the
raw cotton. .,sss.--s 4,.s .s,.y,.
