FROM Our theBular tOfrespOnuenl.l
1 have not written to you since the
bal masque. 1t was a grand success, as
all balls should be. The costumes were
varied and handsome. There were nu-
merous court lords and ladies, peasants,
clowns and sailors. His Satanic Majes-
ty was also represented. Several of our
prominent young ladies deserve great
praise for their pretty and becoming
costumes, which were made by their
own fair hands. "The 2-off-ones,"
was VERY well acted by one Of our
young grocers and one of the swan
derers" in the freight house. These
young men are deserving Of great praise
for the excellent manner in which they
''took in't some of their lady friends.

girls with him, when he wants to fiirt,
Or there won't be a square inch of him
left to return to the 'sMagic."
Prof. Galloway has a phantom
party on the tapis. Hasten the time.
Quite a number of our leading young

direction.
Five hundred dollars have been sub
scribed by the citizens to establish q

Three or four young men in town arc
almost dying with their great desire tc
learn to drive, so they II take theil

name may be, sleigh riding. 1t is painful
to watch the agonized look on their coun
~tenances as they gaze on some young

meandering down Second street behind
n festive bronchu, and to hear the muir.
