Several ladies and gentlemen, to the number Of fifteen persons, assembled at the house Of Mir. R. H. Burmister, and disguised themselves with sheets and pillow cases, having alse faces of white cloth, and forming a ghostly procession, proceeded 10 the residence Of Wm. M. Buffum, Esq., wbere one of the party (rot in cosiume) rang the bell and announced that a few of his friends had come to spend the evening. weinewiski led the way with his violin, playing March, followed by the party, which passed through the hall into the sitting-room and form Cd ou for the Virginia reel, afterward a quad. Fife, then waltz, which was all gone through pantomme, while the inmates of the house. ooid vsre thoroughly convulsed with laughter, aod they did not recover from their surprise till given signal the party simultaneously un- aasked; then fun and frolic was the order of 'ae evening until quite late hour, when the
