As the fourth of July is now rapid
" approaching, we would desire to
intimate TO those who are going to
celebrate" that this is the place to
come to, as we intend having the larg-
est ball ever witnessed in Northern
New Hampshire. We are making
preparations to carry out the affair,
on the most expensive scale. The
building in which the ball will be
held, has been kindly placed at our
disposal, by the Messrs. Browns, and
rs it is three hundred and TlCeaty feet
long, your readers can imagine the
number which can be accommodated.
The celebrated Boston Band led by
Mr.. Brown, has been engaged at a
large cost, while all minor details will
be carried ont in the saIie liberal
manner regardless of expense. Hav-
ing this matter under our care and
attention for some time past, we have
been able to perfect our arrangements
in such a manner as will meet the APP
probation of the most fasLidious per-
son. To give list of those who
have signified their intention of gra-
cling the occasion with their presence,
would take up to much of your valu-
able space; they comprise many of
the leading citizens from the various
towns of this and other States. The
catering department, will be under
our own immediate supervision, and
we believe that our efforts in this de-
partment will be preferable to the
usua. plan of contracting to parties
who make it their aim to study their
pocket more than the comfort Of their
guests. The Committee of Manage
ment, Introduction &C., viii be COM
posed of gentlemen with every quail
ficatiOns to fill their important posi-
tiOns, and great attention will he paid
to the dressing room for ladies and
gentlemen, which will be in charge of
suitable attendants ready to render
their services to those coming from
distance. In conclusion. Mr.. Editor,
we would with your kind permission
extend cordial welcome to all, as
suring them that 10 pains will be
spared to make Friday night, the 3D.
of Jnfy, 1874, memorable one in our
local history. In your succeeding
issues due notice will be gwen by adj

The British House of Commons decided

seriously discuss the proposition .'that it is

They deny that these five millions of Brit
