reputation of giving very pleasant and
sociable dances, and as usual, last night
their hall was filled with merry groups
OF ladies aud gentlemen. The dance
commenced early in the evening and
ceased promptly at one O'Clock, so as to
give plenty of sleep to those present Tor

furnish music for the baby show that's
charming. An afternoon at Turner hall
in the midst of pretty children, listening
to this music, is an occasion long to be

and everyone should attend. Messrs.
Hartman and Silver show courtesy and
kindness to all, and will be pleased to
