The Liberal Religious SociabIe.

Last night the regular sOciable of the
Liberal Religious Association took place
at their hall on Washington avenue. The
hall at an early hour was sell filled with
ladies and gentlemen of all ages, who
whied away the hours either in pleasant
conversation, or in tripping over the floor
with flying feet" 10 the time of the
sweet music dIscoursed by Eisenburg's
string band. When once the young of
this city have tasted of the enjoyment
which is afforded them by the managers
of these pleasant events, they look for
ward anXiously for the time to arrive
when they will again be allowed to as
semble under their auspices. Through
endeayors of these gentlemen to furnish
their friends suitable place where they
can gather and forget for few hours at
least the cares of life, they have incurred
an expense which TIE proceeds of the So
cables seldom cover. but still they keep
them going. their only recompense being
the knowledge that by So doing they are
affording Others a good time.
