The Valentine Party OIL Monday
night was quite numerously attended.
Lad the weather been pleasanter, it
would have been over-crowded. AS it
was, a sufficient number attended to
make it enjoyable to the attendants,
and profitable to the st. Patrick's Be-
nevolent Society, under the auspices
of which society it was given. Messrs.
ID. w. Fitzpatrick and Patrick Cone,
the floor managers, were especially
attentive to the duties devolving upon
those functionaries. Excellent music
was provided by Desmond's band.
Those who attended speak of the Val
entine party as having been one of the
most pleasing of the season.
