The Ball in the evening, at the Indian
Queen Hotel, was grand affair and a
complete success. Early in the evening,
the spacious dining room, beautifully
festooned with evergreen, was filed with
gentlemen and ladies anxiously waiting for
the music to start them on the grand march
Floor Managers, Harry Huston and Henry
Drolett, having everything in readiness,
started the music and the pleasures of the
evening began. The music was kept up
and the dance went on, none seemed to
grow weary of whirliug through the dizzy
maze-for what gentleman could, when the
falrest of ladies were there to assist them.
But all such pleasant assemblages have an
end and SO must the Grand Gift Ball
Shortly after a. m, the music ceased and
the happy party dispersed bearing with
them the recollection of one of the most
pleasant times ever spent in ball room
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon
the committee who had charge of the ball
as no disturbance of any kind occurred
during the whole evening to mar to pleasure
Of the dance.
The music was furnished by Prof Moran
Mr.. Harry Drukenmiller, John Huff Of
Washington, y. j., Charles Kieser and
Daniel King, and We can say it was first
class, not to be excelled anywhere.
Every effort, on the part of the members
Of the band and all others connected with
the drawing and ball, were put forth tc
make everything pleasant and satisfactory
and the opinion Of every one who took part
in the pleasures of the evening, is, that they
succeeded to perfection.
We are glad to announce that they have
realized sum almost sufficient to purchase
their uniforms and in a short time we eau
boast of band in full uniform, that will in
the future as in the past, enlivened our town
with music not to be exceeded by any band
in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Some years ago, J. w. Serviss, of Am
sterdam, and David Nanny, of the Nanny
House, in order to play joke on Stephen
Arnold, of the Arnold House, both of that
place, went to him and said that they had
bet drinks Oh a certain question in dispute,
and that they desired him to act as referee,
the drinks to be paid for when the bet was
decided. Mr.. Arnold accepted the terms,
and drinks to the amount of $3.50 were
disposed Of Mr.. Serviss then said that
he had bet Nanny the drinks to the entire
party at Arnold's, that, when the spire OF
the new Catholic cathedral fell, it would
fall to the west while Nanny had bet that
it would fall to the east. OF course the
laugh was upon Arnold. He looked puzzled
for a moment, then quietly producing a
book, he carefully noted down the terms of
the bet. During the gale of last week the
spire of that cathedral fell 1t fell to the
east. Tidings of the fact reached Arnold,
who drew on his Ulster as if he had been
creased, drove up to his house as rapidly
as possible, produced the book in which
nc had recorded the bet, and almost before
Mr.. Serviss had heard of the fail Of the
spirc he was presented with bill for $3.50

the Colorado beetles had descended upon
his crops in immense numbers, but being
too late to do any damage, he had not
disturbed them. On examination VIC
found good many of the beetles lying
dormant on the loose soil, and numberless
places where the crows had dug up the
ground. Evidently the crows were feast
