THIEQUlCKsTEPS.
Their Second Animal Last Night
a Pleasant Time.

In their regular place on the list c
entertainments, the Quickstep Socia
Club occupied the boards at Prof. Web
ster's Dancing Academy, last evening
in their second annual ball, and al
though Terpsichore may nave b.eI
rendered extra fastidious in her tastes
by the quality of the offerings which
have been laid at her shrine by the
Shields, Orion, Live Oak, and Others
of like character that have worship.
ped there this season, she found that
the Quickstep had anticipated.that fact,
and the nature Of their tribute, last
night, must have made the lively Muse
husll with pride.
The grand march which CANE off al
ten O'Clock, was superb affair, forty
couples, under the leadership of Mr.
Jno. NJ. Newell and Miss Rose Keogh
participating, Profs. Richie and Worth
furnishing the music. Immediately al
the close of the march, sets were formed
and dancing commenced. An exsmi-
nation of the programme showed that
the Quickstep managers were not novi
ces at the business as the selections
were rare and novel, and the guests
were loud in their praises of the skill
full manner in which they were ar
ranged. At intervals during the night
refreshments were served, and ths
stars were blinking very drowsily ere
the happy company separated, and
when they did, mingling with the
pleasant "good mornings" could be
heard pledges to meet again at the
Quicksteps' "Third."

On Monday evening 10th inst, Rev
Mr.. Pegg of Scott NJ. Il. church, Will
mington, preached a very able dis
course from Is. John, 1st chapter and
the latter part of the 7th verse; "and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son clean
seth us from all sin" Mr.. p. took as
the basis of his discourse "Sin," and
showed the effect of Sin upon all mel
and that its effects we're really
the cause Of every failure Of reaching
that blessed abode, and the cause Of
sending every soul to the region .of the
damned; he showed the direful effects
of Sin apon the moral world-upon so
ciety and upon the physical world; he
then showed that the blood OF Christ
can cleanse from all sin and prepare the
soul for the Society of angels.
Mr.Pegg's descriptive powers are very
good and impressive; iie neld his au-
dience bound by irresistible conclusion.
