last Tuesday evening. The night was
clear and cold, and the sleighing excel
lent, all being well adapted to the occa-
sion. At 10 o'clock the music struck up
and dancing commenced, with six sets
upon the floor. Everybody seemed in
fine spirits. the ladies looked charming.
and were dressed most elaborately and
in good taste. We do not know if any
conquests were made by the gentlemen,
but if none were, then it was certainly
no the fault of the ladies', for they all
looked their loveliest, and the gentlemen
must have been very fastidious. The
management was under the immediate
supervision of George p. McConkey.
which gave very general satisfaction, n
not a thing occurred to mar thefestlvitles
of the evening. Taken altogether. it twas
a most agreeable affair. and We hope the
time 10 not far distant when the same
company will meet together again.
RELEAsED.-On the 18th instant, Judge
Cole issued an order for the release of
William Connolly on his own recognize
ance, in the sum of $1,000. He has
been in Jail since the 10th of November
last. at which time we published the
cause of his arrest, which was as follows
Connolly had been on a spree, and need
ing liquor, went to the saloon where he
was in the habit of drinking. and finding
no one there. helped himself to a drink.
and was arrested on the charge of petty
larceny-this, and nothing more. A pc
tition, numerously signed by citizens of
Cherry Creek. where Connolly resided,
was sent to Judge Cole. which caused his
release. Connolly is now on his good
behavior. and it is to be hoped that the
lesson he has had will do him good.
RoBBED- "A young lady living with
Pat McElroy. on Treasure Hill. made the
discovery on Thursday last that some
person had appropriated $3.50 incoin and
two rings. valued at $500. from her trunk.
Mrs. McElroy had SO in silver. which
she put in a purse, and threw it in a
trunk. Soon thereafter she wanted some
change, and went to the purse to get it,
when she discovered that it had been
taken. This caused the young lady to
see if her yaluables were all right, and on
examining her trunk, found that they
toe were gone. No one is suspected of
the robbery.
DIVINE SERyIcE.-Rev. George B. AL
len preached in st. Luke's Church last
Sunday morning and evening. The
morning service wls not n%umerously at
tended, probably on account of its not
being generally known that there was to
be preaching in the evening, however,
the house was crowded. His sermons are
highly spoken of, and AS it was his first
appearance here. he created a very favor
able impression with our people. It is a
great pity, and a shame, that this COM
munity does not employ the services of
some good minister of the gospel.
CHEAP SLE1GH-RIDING.-Bids were re-
ceived by the managers of the 22d ball
for conveying parties to and from the
hall. There were three bids received,
one for $50. one for SO, and the last and
least q being for ten cents. Dan Nor
ris was the lowest bidder, and he carried
out his contract fully and to the satisfac-
ton of his patrons. He kept three
sleighs running until he got all the people
to the ball. There is nothing like COM
petition in business for cheap sleigh-rid-
ing.
WAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY The ami
versay of the one hundred and forty-ffth
birthday of the Father of his Country"
was not celebrated to an unusual extent
in this place on Tuesday last. Statutes
were fred at early morn, all the national
flags were flying throughout the day,
and in the evening a citizens ball was
held at Masonic Hall. On account of the
deep snow. it was impossible for the mill
tary to parade.
EsCAPED.-Dexter Rockwell. a 17-year
old boy, who has been in the county Jail
