One of those recherche entertainments
which makcth the heart glad--a soirct
dansante came off at the hospitable resi-
dence Of Mr.. D. Donaldson, of Pecan
Grove Plantation, OIL the night Of the
llth. 1t would be a great pleasure to
me, indeed, had the time and space at
my disposal, to go into particulars con-
corning the highly enjoyable event suf-
fec it to say that it proved a grand sue
cess in the truest meaning Of the wore,
with the f;lirest and loveliest of the OPP
posite sex as one of the principal attrac-
tions. Your correspondent and his in
separable friend Sol wore also honored
with an invitation for the evening noted
to an affair of the same kind at the
residence of Mr.. Anderson, on the right
bank Of our world-renowned river, but
we had to forego the pleasure Oil account
of q previous invitation to one nearer
home.
1t is being widely circulated that the
Welcome Social Club, with the ever
pleasing JOS. Cohn, j., Esq, as presi-
dent and prime mover Of all the Society's
doings, are making fast preparations for
the future; it being the members inten-
ton to honor their neighborhood with
soi1ees twice q month at the residences
of one or the other Of their leading citi-
zens. As the Welcome entertainments
are invariably attended by tile elite and
beauty Of both sides Of the "mighty
creek" great is the anxiety to have their
social and terpsichorean meetings inau-
gurated without delay.
1t pleases me to learn of the unexpec-
ted return to this parish Of that dashing
young 1sraelite, Sol. Cohn, ESQ. The
young gentleman has been rusticating
amidst the friends of his childhood in
the Old World for the past six months;
in fact, it was his determination, on tax
ing leave of the Gland of the free" to
make Europe his future place of abode,
but 1t appears that 1t was "not to be,'
for the attractions of good old St
Jacques were rather too much for him.
in consequence Of which Louisiana in lieu
Df Europe will claim him as a perma-
nent citizen in the future.
The charming sister of our entcrpri-
