A Will Contest

The will Of the late John Chambers,
Of Mill Creek Hundred, is now being
contested before Register Biggs, at
New Castle. Mr.. Chambers died leaving
an estate valued at $4,000. He had
two children. To his daughter he left
but $500, and the remainder was left
to his son, Newton. The daughter
makes contest on the ground that her
father at the time of his death was
mentally incompetent to make will,
and claims an equal share Of the estate.
George Gray, Esq, is counsel for the
contestant and BENZ. Nields, ESQ.,, for
the will. The case has been in progress
several days, and many witnesses have
been examined. II is likely that the
decision of the Register, no matter how
1t is given, will not end the matter, and
that it will be carried into Court.

The Grand Observation-Disclosures
second Annual Reception Last
Evening".

The Grand Mibernia-AmerieaN's
second Annual Rec sptien Last
Evening".
The Grand Hibernia-Americ Asgo-
citation celebrated its second anniversary
by giving a grand reception in Web
ster's Dancing Academy, last evening.
and, as was anticipated, the affair was
not only very pleasant one, but gave
evidence that the management fully un-
derstood the part impossdupon them and
had spared neither pains nor expense
In making preparations for the event.
About 1880 o'clock, Ritchis's orches-
ira struck up very pretty march, com
posed expressly for the occasion, and
sixty-three couple Of handsomely dress
ed gentlemen and ladies entered the
ballroom led by Master Of Ceremonies
James F. Barns, accompanied by Miss
Kate Burns, followed by Floor Manager
Jno. L. MoCloskey and Miss Mamie
Leonard, his assistants Lewis T. Sinex
and Miss Annie Mealey, P. Matthews
and Miss Annie Hynes, Eugene McDsr-
mots and Miss Mary O'Donnell, Jno. C.
Shaw and lady.
The promenade was quite novel and
very intricate, and the Chief Conductor
and his lady, justly deserved the many
expressions Of praise and admiration
they received from their highly graft
fed friends. At the close of the march
sets we're formed, and the zest with
which the youthful gallants and their
fair partners entered upon the well-ar-
ranged programme, indicated that all
We're intent on having a "real good
time" During the first intermission
which took place about 1890 O'Clock,
Mr.. Jno. Mclaughlin, q young gentle
man who has acquired considerable
notoriety as adauoer, favored those pre-
sent with a "Sailor's Hornpipe." The
many di&cult steps were accurately ex-
ecuted in style that not only did
credit to his well-earned reputation, but
also to his tutor; gentleman we'll
known and highly respected, and with
out exception the best dancer in the
city. During the evening the managers,
conspicuous by their handsome new
badges, were constantly 'flitting to and
fro'' in the interests Of their guests, and
endeavoring by every means possible to
make the hours glide pleasantly by.
Refreshments were served in abundance
during the evening, and dancing was
kept up until five O'Clock this morning
when all retired, voting that the G.. II.
AS second was one Of the most orderly
ind enjoyable affairs Of the season.

An Enjoyable A Aaasr.

MRssEs. EDRroRs The entertain
ment Of Tablsaux, Musical and Illustra
tive poems on Thursday evening, a
MasonioI Temple Lecture Room, deserves
a more extended notice than you gave
1t In yesterdays paper.
The music rendered vocally by Mrs
Wales and Miss Dubois of Bridgston,
and instrumentally by Mrs. Grant, Miss
Maxwell and Massrs, Hsbsner and
Thomas was very delightful. Miss
Dubois sang Peacefully. .Slumber" and
was enthusiastically enoersd when she
sang in her most beautiful contralto the
charming ballad, "Clsar and cool.''
The tablsau, introduction Of the
BRIDE" in two parts, was very we'll re-
csived. In place Of "Flight Of Time
q "vesper scene'' was given. A living
madonna represented q portrait receiv-
ing the homage of nuns, while the sweet
notes Of "Ava Sanctissima' was sung by
concealed vocalists.
"Lalla Rookh" came next with all
the gorgeous costumes Of an oriental
court. The poet author would have
been grati6ed with so striking a rem
dering.
Then came "The Little Bachelor
psrsonatsd by George Maris who
fatigued with his fruitless contest with
the rats and the mice which led him
such life at last after several fruitless
efforts selected his wife. The wheel
barrow sequel was portrayed to the life
The love scene entitled "The Spin.
Ming wheel and elopement was q panto.
mine, and was heartily applauded.
"Pygnralian and galatsa rendered
by Miss Stokes and Mr.. Gayley was o
gem. The lovely Statue warming tc
life under the ardent glances and
prayars Of the enamored Scalptor
was portrayed with q beauty and
skill that left nothing to wish for,
was rapturously sncored by the audi.
ence. Then came the Shaksperean
scene from "King Lear" which was ad-
mirably portrayed.
The Carnival was q statuesque ex-
hibition Of all the performers, which
closed the entertainment. The result
was successful both artistically and 10 q
pscuniary point and the young people, s
missionary society Of the Central church
and their friends earned the credit as
well as the ducats which they received.

Selling Reserved Seats Twice,

For the hEPUPLICAN,
MEssRs RDIToRs ALLOW ne through
your widely circulating columns to say
that the habit of selling coupons for re-
served seats twice is getting to be al
most an every night occurrence at the
Opera House. l bought two reserved
seats for an entertainment one night
last week, at the box Office. About ten
minutes after occupying our seats We
were politely informed by the usher
that these seats were reserved and ask
ing II we had checks. We procured
our checks for seats occupied, when we
were shown two checks held by another
party calling for the same seats. We
were made to move although we had
the best right to the seats. would
say in conclusion that the tickets should
be better prepared hereafter, so as to
avoid these annoying changes of seats.

NEwLT PAINTED RooMs.-Thc danger
of inhaling the vapor Of turpcntine has
been !olg known, an" Its perniclous IN
nucnce on the health is beyond ali
doubt, as has been verified in several
cases occurring in persons sleeping in
newly painted rooms, some of which
have even proved fatal. Several theo-
RES, more or less plausible, have been
prnpounded to explain the prejudicIal
effects of The inhalation of the vapors {;
but, whatever be the correct eXpiann
;lon, there is no Ioabt of the danger OF
occupying room recently painted in
which tu prntlnc ia: h',rn can Ntoyel,
before cnnp!cte 'tc s!ra;ihu has taken
place. 1t WAS pointed out by the Cnun-
Gil Of Hygiene, that n sudden death
which recently took place in Paris was
attributable to this cause, it, being
shown that H. could not be ascribed to
the lead which entered into the COM
position Of the paint Of the room in
which the deceased slept; tho lead, be-
ing fixed and nonvolaLile, cannot in
these cases be accused Of being the
offending element.
