THE HARMONY MANNERCHoR MAS
QUERADE.-A very large and select au-
dence of invited guests assembled at the
Harmony Mannerchor Masquerade ball
last night. The affair WIS very select in
deed, and the only thing that marred
the pleasures of the occasion was the in
adequacy of the hall to accommodate the
dancers. The costumes and characters
were excellent, especially "The Two Oph,
ans, "the"B ootblack, ""Topsy, "the"Devll,'
Lady Washington" ga Jew Peddler,
"The Fat Man." ''Red Cloud" captain
Jack" The Buffalo Tanner" "Colonel
Sellers" and some others which have
escaped our memory. The costumes of
the Centennial Committee" were costly
and grand. Joe kramer's band furnished
the music, and the festivities were con.
tinued until late hour this morning.

BARRY SULLIvAN.-The sale of re.

who appears at the Opera House Monday
and Tuesday, February 2lst and 22nd,
will commence Monday morning at
Adams & Lucas's music store. We find
the following complimentary notice in
the Memphis appeal:
"Barry Sullivan appeared as Hamlet
last right. Nosuch sensation has ever been
produced in our day. He was called be-
fore the curtain at the end of every act,
and at the close the cheering was again
and again renewed. The house was as
full as it could hold.'
Richard the ILL., and Hamlet.-"Barry
Sullivans. Hamlet is a perfect triumph
of dramatic art. AS Richard Ill last
evening, he held the vast audience en-
raptured, and achieved n wonderful trl-
umph. In the concluding acts, the au'
dience was carried TO the extreme of en-
thusiasm. The house was crammed.' -

BELLAlRE.


SUDDEN DEATu.--Y esterday morning
Just after Mr.. John Wilkinson, of Gravel
Hill, had eaten his breakfast, he was taken
with smothering spell, and fell from his
chair and through trap door into the
cellar, breaking his neck and killing him
almost instantly. 1t is not known, how.
ever, whether the fall killed him, or
whether it was heart disease. 1t is the
opinion of the physician that he was
dead or nearly so before he fell, but of
course he can not tell certainly '. Mr..
Wilkinson was heater in the
Bellaire Nail Works, and Was well re-
spec ed by all who knew him. He leaves
wife and one or two children to mourn
his sudden taking Off We do not know
Mt what hour he will lie buried, as the
arrangements for the funeral We're not
fully made at the hour of this writing.
Mr.. b. KRAUs manufactures hair
switches, &c, at No. PIC Thirty sec
ond street, instead Of "No. It," as the
compositor made us say yesterday.
WE learned yesterday evening that
the stock subscriptions of the Bellaire "
Southwestern Railroad was about made
up.
The streets of Bellaire are in most
dreadful concition, and it Is to be hoped
that our citizens will have so much mud
this winter that they will be so tired OF
it that they will all put in for having the
streets, or some of them at least paved
before another winter comes.
PROF. Brooks, the poet elocutionist
and temperance lecturer, of. Boston,
Mass who was to have lectured at the
Disciples Church night before last, failed
to put in an appearance at the hour ap-
pointed, and after waiting short time,
those who had assembled to hear the lee.
ture held a prayer meeting and then
went home.

"TuAT's So."-They were promenad-

remarked:
"George, we can beat the world on
pretty girls. They are perfect angels"
"That's so, Charlie, bat they paint too
much"
81 say, George, did you ever see an
angel that was not painted? was the
next question.
George saw the point, and they turned
into q neighboring door and took some
thing.

THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects 1e rs wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruf. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
AS a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

MORE GAs.-Yesterday was the las


MORE GAs.-Yesterday was the last
day OF grace for the gas consumers.
That Is, the last day that the ten per
cent is deducted from the bills. Pretty
much everyone who consumes gas knows
the rule is memorable, and by six P. n.
on the tenth, the bills are about all set
tied and the secretary is posted as to
what the net receipts will be for the pre-
ceaing month. In December last the
net receipts amounted to near $4,000. For
the month inst closed, the net revenue
will approximate 100000. A falling
off from the amount received for Decem-
byr of 100000. The twelfth month is
always the darkest, so that the great diff.
ference IN the receipts for each month is
partly accounted for. We might add
that many of our business houses have
been closed during the evenings in jan
uary, which. coupled with the general
disposition on the part OF consumers,
to economize in this respect, as we'll as
in all others, fully accounts sor the large
falling off in revenue in the last month.
Inc extension of the gas mains we for
bear publishing the names of the many
streets on which they will be laid until
the committee that has the matter under
consideration shall report, as the route
may be changed) which is contemplated,
and the building of gas holders, will, &C
cording TO the estimate of Mr.. Arthur
Brown, the Superintendent, cost $4,000.
This sum is to be realized by loan upon
the works, and to be liquidated pretty
much IN the same manner, as the present
debt for the purchase of the gas works
is being done.
The payment of the interest and prin.
cipai on this proposed loan is to be met
out of the revenue from all sources, that
is: from the Seventh and Eighth wards,
as well as from the other sections of the
city where gas is now used. In view OF
the fact that the extensions most
| be made sooner or later, we
hope they will be made sooner
and that the committee on Lights
to whom the report OF the Trustees and
estimates have been referred, will hasten
and consider the matter, SO that the work
can be commenced and completed before
bad weather sets in. To be sure all
spring and summer are before us, but
much delay now may bring
heap of dilly -dallying hereat
ter. We are anxious to have
our Seventh and Eighth ward
friends enjoy the huge luxury and help
foot the bills. Besides this generous view
of it, there is another which actuates Us
to quickly urge the beginning of the
work. The Trustees claim that wher
these improvements are completed they
will have known the absolute cost o
running the whole business, the amount
required to pay the interest on the tota

fund for the final extinction OF the prin
cipal Knowing this, they can at tn
earliest possible day reduce the price o
gas to consumers to the minimum figure
so that thereafter no more complaint OIL
the score of dear gas will be heard in tin
land.
Then we say, make good haste in thi
meritorious work, and let the whole city
participate in this estimable blessing, ,
cheap illumination.
