The BALL given last evening by the
Lexington Guards proved, as we expected
it would, to be a very successful affair.
Much pains had been taken to decorate
the hall with appropriate ornaments, and
the effect was pleasing in the extreme.
The arms of the company, with flags and
banners, were disposed in elegant devices
on the walls, on which also appeared
many patriotic notices. The words
"Cead mile fealthe," in large letters, at
the end of the hall, bespoke the well
come, which the Guards in every instance
most cordially extended to their visitors.
Ihe several members of the organization
seemed to vie with each other in provid
ingf0rthe entertainment of the company.
The result was that all present spent a
delightful evening, in which, we are glad
to say, we had the pleasure of participant
ing. The music was excellent, and its
inspiring strains caused the dances to
succeed each other in rapid succession
and to be greatly enjoyed. At the usual
hour most of the company adjourned to
the Barnum Restaurant. where very
handsome and we'll served supper awaited
them, After doing full justice to the good
cheer, the company returned to the hall
and passed most enjoyable time until
they separated, carrying with them most
Measurable recollections of the occasion.
HUM e. HUNT. BY u notice pub
ished under the head of New
To-Day" it will DO seen that the
HUM & Hunt Silver Mining Com
pany has levied an assessment
OF forty cents per share. This is
good news to many of our miners, who
for long while have had unsettled claims
against the company. We are also in
cllned to believe that under careful and
sklltul management that the mines
owned by the company could be made
remunerative, or. at the least, self-sus-
tanning.
