THE MINERS, UNION BALL.

hall of the society on Monday night.
The affair was a success in the broad
est and most comprehensive sense of
that term. There were present some
thing near one hundred couple, and
throughout the night there was
not a single hitch or jar to ma
the harmony and enjoyment of the
occasion. Indeed, we doubt if a
more pleasurable gathering of an
equal number of ladies and gem
tlemen ever transpirod in this section
of the State. The ladies were taste
fully attired and all looked bewitch-
ingly handsome. Eureka was fairly
represented by both ladies and gentle
men. More doubtless would have at.
tended but for the unfavorable nature
of the weather, the night having been
dark and threatening. Candidates
were also there in the greatest profu-
sion. We started in to jot down the
names Of those OF this class present,
but we got discouraged and threw up
the contract. An observant looker-on,
however, told us that all, save twelve,
OF the gentlemen composing the
county tickets of both parties were on
hand. We saw at once that there was
economy in point of time and labor in
putting the question in this simple
form, and so We concluded to chronicle
absentees. Here is the list: g. g. Wal
lace, Captain Hubbard, j. Marchant,
George K. McCulloch, A. d. Haskell,
FL. Davenport, DR.. Bishop, Hiram
johnson, NJ. Cavanaugh, w. A. Ed
wards, A. E. Kaye and Joseph Oberer;
that is to say, that out of the thirty
eight names on the two tickets, only
twelve were missing, eight Republic
cans and four Democrats. The candi-
dates present, as might readily be sup
posed, were as af1able a set OF individ-
uals as ever solicited the suffrages Of
their fellow citizens. They were espe-
cially agreeable and sought to make
things equally so for all with whom
they came in contact.
