r. WEDNESDAY evening the

Mkt WEDNESDAY evening the grand
fancy dress and masquerade ball will
come of. A number of very elegant cos.
tunes have been prepared and will be
worn on that occasion. What adds SO
mpcb to the zest of these pleasant affairs,
i the delightful feelings Of curiosity and
uncertainty that are aroused. "You
need not try to deceive me; know who
Won are" is frequently the exclamation,
and almost as frequently the parties are
wrong. Speaking of masquerades; one
of the humorous writer's of the day gives
A eomical account of suffering Benedict,
who unsuspectingly expressed his opin-
ion of his mother-in-law into that good
lady's ears. Didn't that fellow get a
vigging. Oh, no! 1t was some one else.
He had to compromise with
new dress and a trip to Long
Branch, mother-in-law and all. How
ever, to get back to the ball, we in
tended to say, and would have done so
ere this if we had not commenced to gos-
sp, that Mrs. Hickox has some very ele-
CANT costumes that those who desire to
20 in good style would do well to in
spect.
A Enthusiastically the sporting fra
ternity were hugely delighted by merry
little set-to between q couple of ardent
youths, who saw no other satisfactory
manner of settling their littlo disputes
than by having bout with their MAUI
leys. Early in the afternoon, at the place
appointed near Sherwood's lumber yard,
the combatants put in their appearance.
After some trifing preliminaries were
settled, at it they went, and hammered
sway in fine style. After a short tussle,
one of the boys got home on the others
sinister ogle in SO emphatic a manner
that it caused the surrounding epidermis
to assume some beautiful iridescent hues
and induced the magical word huff" to
emerge from him of the ornamented
pepper That settled matters, and ter
minated the show.
