DOVER, Del, Jan. 10, 1871
II can hardly be said and sustained that bu-
siness of legislative character is brisk around
the State House And it is not expected to
be so until the machinery is oiled with some
thing like adjournment" and then every
moment will be employed by the respective
members of each House. The dullness has
been more perceptible this week than formerly,
with no variation occurring by debate, or a
regular fight of words; but it will come.
On Monday evening, Hon. Eli Salisbury
was unanimously reuominated for .. S. Sen
ator, and as solidly elected on Tuesday, as
predicted in my letter Of last week. The only
name mentioned among the members was that
of Charles B. Lore, Esq, but it was generally
understood that no change was desired.
Mr.. Ray introduced a bill in the Senate, on
Wednesday, to protect the sheep, pigs, etc,
in New Castle county from dogs. The bill
gives the power 10 each justice Of the peace TO
issue licenses to each owner Of dog, for
which 81 rs is to be charged. The Senate
ordered the bill 10 be printed, which makes
the second that has been in the printer
hands.

dogs are growing cary OF the tax law, and

Communicated
Masquerade Party.

MIDDLETowN, DEL Jan. is, 1871.
Mr.. Editor The masquerade at Mr.. H. N.
Willis, on Tuesday evening last, was COM
plete success, and much credit is due the COM
mittee, Messrs. Lindley and Polk, for their un-
firing efforts in carrying out the affair.
Although 30 was the hour named, the
guests did not begin to arrive until an hour
later, which hope I may be pardoned for
saying, is rather breach of etiquette, as in
my opinion, an invited guest should always
comply as nearly as possible with the invita-
ton of his host.
Dancing began at 80 with The grand
march, in which a promiscuous assembly of
fantastic characters took part. Although
'Knights" predominated, bright-eyes and
smiles lighted up the scene, while merry laugh
ter and flying feet kept time to the inspiring
music.
Miss T. NJ, ''Nun,' defed all recognition,
refusing 10 join in the giddy dance because of
her vocation, in which she was supported by
"PIiest," Dr. W. H B. The sombre effect
Miss j., was counteracted by two bright
mornings" Misses L. W, and S. P, while
Captain Jenks' drew pity from all by his
evident predisposition to gout, represented by
Mr. NJ. N. W. An Indian and Gypsy Queen,
Mr.. B. ana Miss o. K, mingled together in
the dance and the "Sun-fower," " Mr. w H.,
entirely changed his nature by blooming most
radiantly when turned toward the might"
The "Highland Laddie, Mr. A. NJ. c., evi-
IDENTIFY fresh from his own bonnie" Scotland,
won all hearts by his coquettish plaid; and
Miss 9. r. M, Peasant Girl :" enjoyed the
dancing, evidently as a relaxation from her
usua. homely duties. Our FIRST thought when
the gallant "Sailor Lad, Mr. T. NJ, entered
the room, was pity for the 'girl he left be-
hind I" for, of course, he is no exception 10 the
rule that those of his craft have a sweetheart
in every port Among other characters was
"Flora McFlimsey," Miss L. NJ. who displayed
the whole of her wardrobe at once; ''Scot-
lands injured Queen, in the person Of Miss
l.. T.. and 'tQueen Isabella, Of SPAIN" rep
resented by Mrs. II. N. W. besides numerous
others.
AtIlP. NJ. the masks were removed, and
then came the fun. Looks of disappointment
were prevalent, and exclamations such as ~
told you so II Why, Miss m, is this you r
You told me a tib - &C., were to be heard on
every side After supper dancing was con-
tinued until late, or rather an early hour in
the evening, when all retired fully satisfied
with the evening entertainment.
To Messrs Lindley and Polk, our gallant
| committee, many thanks are due for their
good management and graceful attentions
during the evening IRENE.
