Mr.. Filter. Permit me to give you a
lame description of one of the most cnvia
bic and social entertainments, that it has
bccn my lot to enjoy, at the Hop given at
the ClairvauX House last evening, 18th
instant, The reception of Mr.. and Mrs.
liam, and their lovely and accomplished
daughters and nicccs, was even more de-
liyhllUl and orderly than that given some
weeks since by other parties. The support
was all that could be desired to refresh the
spirit and give vigor to the body. The
guests were nearly as numerous, and the
amount realized, think was not far he
hind that taken in ut the Oyster Supper;
but there was no crash-eycry one had the
enjoyment of ease, quiet and elbow room. |
Many elegant toilets were obsC rived among |
tie ladies, whose ease grace and beauty |
were, in my opinion, never surpassed by |
any social gathering in any county, town
or city. About twenty whole.sCulcd gen
lIcmcn from Emmitsburg, the elite of the
town, and myself, and all the noble fellows
about the surrounding country, even as far
down as Rocky Ridge, put in their appear
ancc Everything was conducted in bust |
ncss,liSc order. The gcnt!cmanly Commit

grated with beautiful ba lgcs, acquitted (,
themselves with entire satisfaction to all |
present. Duplicate checks were provided |
for the oycrcOats and hats, which We're
placed in a lock room, thus avoiding all
confusion. The event Of the evening, was
the reception of a beautiful bride and noble
Bridegroom from our sister State Of Penn
Sylyania, who honorcd the party with
their presence, and were the recipients of
many congratulations, not only on account
OF their magnificent appearance, but for
the gaicty and pleasure impaired 70 the |
company by their modest BEHAVIOR and
genial cordiality. So swiftly did the hours
pass away, that the sun, in all lis glCry
stole in upon the scene, before the las set; !
was finished. The only single regret vas
the absence Of several dark eyed beauties !
whose home is not a hundred mics from
your Sanctum. Had they been there, oar
happiness had been complete; out O wing
