ONE EIGHTY FIVE.
EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL BALL OF THE
SHIELDS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.


The eighteenth annual ball Of the
Shields Library Association took place
On Wednesday night in the auditorium
of the Grand Opera House.
The ball was the largest given this
season, and was by far the most en-
joyable. 1t could not be Otherwise and
be under the management of the
Shields Library. Everything was done
by the committee looking toward the
comfort and pleasure of their guests,
and how well they succeeded was east
ly determined from the smiling faces
of all who were present.
The auditorium, wherein the ball
was held, was handsomely trimmed
and festooned. In the centre of the
large false hoor were the figures 1851"
the number of couples that were on the
march one year ago, and the letters
rs. l.. A." Around the front of the
gallery were shields bearing the names
of the thirteen original St,ites, flags of
all nations, and gracefully looped
strings ofevergreens. The boxes were
also trimmed in keeping with the other
portions of the room. Large frames
containing photographs were also dis
played in front of the private boxes
In order to have plenty of room for
the guests, the committee rented the
large lecture room and Webster's
Dancing Academy. This gave plenty
of room for the ladies and they were
not crowded.
The Association did not put forth
any great efforts to make their ball
this year large one as they are the
champions thus far in that respect.
The reception this year was given
more for pleasure than display and
they did not desire to have such large
attendance.
The grand march took place at :4C
o'clock, and was led by Master ol
Ceremonies, Adrian Gipp and wife
They were followed by Floor Maua-
ger Joseph A. Haagan and Miss Rose
Keogh Assistants Thomas ]. Farley
and Miss Maggie Gallagher Richarc
G. Walsh and Miss Messick Jamei
W. McCloskey and sister.
They were followed by one hundred
and eighty couples, and as they filed il
on the stage from the scenery, they pre-
sented very pretty sight. After thu
march dancing was commenced IL
earnest, and was continued until near
ly daylight. There were a number o
guests present from Philadelphia AM
Chester. During the night refresh
ments were served in abundance. tn
press and invited guests were treate
to fine collation. spread in Web
ster's Academy.
Nothing occurred during the nigh
to mar the pleasure ofany one presen
and everything passed of very quietly
The ladies ON the march were each pre-
sented with pretty programme.

New CASTLE, Nov. 40, 1880.
Yesterday, Thanksgiving day, was
ushered in clear and bright, and every
one intending to spend the occasion
away took the morning trains, under
favorable conditions, as regards the
weather. All our places of business
were closed, making our streets present
a Sunday like appearance.
Toward noon the members of Ivan
hoe Division, No. 2, K. of p, began to
congregate at the City Hall preparatory
to going to your city.
The fair in store of the Masons and
Odd Fellows Hall, iu aid of st. Peters
Church, was opened and the little folks
made the most of the occasion.
Between ~ and l p. m. snow began
falling, struggling, then thicker, then
faster, then steady, until it was impossi-
BILE to see objects half block away
s on the streets were deserted and only
those forced to be out were to be seen.
The matinee of the Amateur Min
strel Troupe, Of this CITY, was the event
of the afternoon. The snow storm kept
hundreds away, still it was success,
and being the first, will no doubt open
the way to many more matinees.

ANOTHER HUMAN BODY GRE
MATED.

PITFsBURa, Pa, November 25.-
There was quiet cremation at DR..
LIE Moyne's furnace to day, the sub
ject being Mrs. Lucia Noyes, wife of
G. H. Noyes, lawyer Of Warren, Pa.
The lady died on the 21st of Novem-
Der, in her 28th year. The body ar
rived here this morning accompanied
by Mr.. Noyes, who, with his wife, had
pledged themselves to cremate the one
who died first. There were religious
services, after which the body was

ure. Dense smoke was then seen to
issue from the chimney. The ashes
will be removed to morrow. Three
persons in New York, two in Phila-

A CORRESPONDENT SAYS THE sENAuoR
STRONGLY OPPOSED HIS DAUaHxER's
MARRIAGE.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 24.-The Brad
ley Cameron wedding was an event
which excited unusual interest in the
state capital. All who saw the groom
are astonished that Miss Cameron
should have thrown her affections on
a man with such q hideous face and
form. He is a stranger to grace and
beauty, but is credited with fine intel
lectual qualifications.
Senator Cameron is said to have
been dissatisfied with his daughters
choice, and to have endeavored to pre-
vent tho projected union, but the
young woman has a will of her own
and gave her father to understand that
she was capable of managing her own
affairs. Senator Cameron grieves
deeply over the event which separated
his eldest daughter from his family
On the day before the marriage he is
represented to have shed tears over
the prospective marriage, and on the
day of the event remarked to friend,
who had congratulated him, ''That he
did not know but what coincidence
could be more appropriate" Not that
he believes that Bradley will make hel
bad husband, but because she hac
been obliged to leave the home which
she had so many years adorned.

FOR THE POOR.

According to their annual custom
the ladies of st. Peters Pro Cathedral
gave a supper last evening in the base
ment of the church the procreeds OF
which were for the benefit Of the poor.
The tables fairly groaned under the
weight of the edibles, which consisted
of all the delicacies of the season. 1t
is estimated that at least eight hundred
persons partook of supper, and the
ladies will reap handsome profit.
While the supper was in progress
the visitors were favored with fine
musical concert under the leadership
of Wm. ID. Kavanaugh.

CHEERING NEWS FROM CoNNECTICUT.-
Monday, the 4th instant was town meet
ing day in Connecticut. The returns indi-
cate gratifying and unexpected Republican
gains. In Norwalk Republican mayor and
full board of councilmen were elected by
one hundred and six majority. The city
went Democratic last year by forty-eight
majority. In Hartford the Republicans
elected all the local officers except town
clerk by four hundred majority. Neither
party anticipated this result and the Repub-
licans are rejoicing accordingly. Returns
from other towns show Republican gains
over the same elections in 1876. OF seventy
six towns so far heard from, forty-six have
gone Republican and twenty-four Demo
cratic and six are equally divided. OF these
towns the Republicans gain eleven and the
Democrats four. The six towns now equally
divided were Democratic in 1876. In Nor
witch the Republicans triumphed by four
hundred majority and in Meriden by three
hundred and fifty majority. The Republi-
can gain in the latter city over last year is
one hundred. Although these are elections
for town or municipal officers, the all-per-
vading presence of the presidential ques-
ton intrudes its powerful influence into local
matters, and the result in these local cleo
tions is significant as indicating the drift Of
public sentiment towards Republicanism
and especially significant as occurring in q

POstmasters In the Legislature.

The biographical sketches of the men,
bers Of the legislature seem to indicate
that a number of postmasters and possibly
some other United States officers have been
elected to the general assembly. This is in
open violation of the express provisions Of
the constitution, which renders the holder
of an office under the United States govern
ment ineligible to election to any state Of
fee. In conformity with the requirements
of this provision, Mr.. Fifield resigned the
office of United States district attorney
when he became the candidate of Mont
pelier for its representative. In 1875, Mr..
Smalley of Burlington retained, by an act
of forbearance, the office of representative
OF that city while holding the clerkship Of
the United States district court. The re-
suit of the last presidential election was
jeopardized by the unlawful holding Of the
office of presidential elector on the part of
United States officers. A proper regard for
the laws of the land would seem to call
for an inquiry into the cases of the men,
bers above referred to, and If it is found
that any at the time of their election held
the office of postmaster or any other United
States office, we know of no good reason
why the seats of those members should not
be declared vacant. There are men enough
both able and willing to fill all our state Of
fees without trenching upon the plainly
expressed provisions of our state constitu-
ton. The sooner an example is made the
earlier the unlawful practice will cease, and
in some future crisis severe strain on our
institutions may be saved by a conscien-
tious adherence to an apparently unimport-
ant law of the land.

Organization Of the Legislature.

The legislature will doubtless make quick
work in the election of its officers. Hon. j
L. Martin of Londonderry, who presided
with ready tact and efficient energy over
the last house, should, as he doubtless will,
be elected speaker without opposition. Elk.
perience and familiarity with the duties OF
the office, united with natural adaptation
to the position, will render his election a
measure of economy in promoting rapid,
ineligible and accurate despatch of bust
ness. For similar reasons Henry N. Newell,
Esq., of Shelburne should receive re-elec-
ton to the clerkship of the house. He has
displayed peculiar fitness for the respon-
sible duties of the position, and in the in
terest Of an entirely competent transaction
of the business of recording and publishing
the proceedings of the house, no change is
called for in this office. With Mr.. Martin
in the chair and Mr.. Newell at the clerk s
desk, the business of the house should move
tremendously and expeditiously forward.
1t is currently reported that F. w. Baldwin,
Esq, the secretary of the senate, will not be
a candidate for reelection, and that G. W.
Brownell, jr., of Burlington, assistant secre-
tary during the last two sessions, will sue
coed to the secretaryship Mr.. Brownell
has demonstrated the fact, while holding
the second position, that he is abundantly
able to fill the first well and acceptably, and
in the practice of civil service rules and
principles there is ample reason for advan-
cling him to the chief secretaryship of the
upper house of the general assembly.
