a masquerade. During the process of decora-
ton, ladder slipped upon which a man was
standing demoishing a portion of the upper
sash in one of the front windows, the man mar
rowly escaping falling through himself, When
the hour for the dance arrived there
came one lady in masque and
four or five gentlemen, while the
money taken for admissions at the door amount
ed to only about $250-scarcely enough to pay
the janitor. Music was in attendance, but when
the musicians saw the prospect for the pay to be
not very encouraging. they quietly boxed their
violins and departed, leaving the company to
their reflections. A collection wasiat once lifted.
a small sum raised, another violinistengage and
with one set upon the floor dance went on for
a brief time.
