The hop on last Thursday evening ut
the St. Charles Hotel, given by our young
men, was decidedly the social event of the
season, and was one of the most peasant
and enjoyable gatherings hat has taken
place in our midst for some time. The
arrangements were left in the hands of a
competent committee, and nothing that
would be in the least conducive to the
comfort and pleasure of the guests was
! left undone. That their efforts We're in
every way successful is amply proven by
| the high words of commentator that
they received from those present. Though
the affair was purey one of the neighbour
hood, still as our neighborhood can boast
OF the handsomest, gayest, sprightliest
and prettiest youth of the county, we had

any gathering from any and every quatter.

and Miss Jennie 5, were present in all the
splendor OF their manifold charms. These
ladies certainly deserve the name of belle

regular features and most graceful car
riage, and these combined with an easy,
vivacous and charming address, is well
a'culated to make and hold captive all
who come under their influence. The oc-
casion was also graced by the presence Of

gained many friends and admirers among
our susceptible beaux, who could not
withstand the bewitching smiles and CO.

well how 10 use. Inc ever popular and
agreeable Miss Jennie st, was also pre-
sent and her graceful and easy carriage
was as marked as that OF queen among

the recipient of much attention, and she
bestowed her favors in kindly and gra-
cious manner, and great was the look Of
disappointment on the faces of her part

hastened to seek their hands we should
say that their bright eyes had made many
captiyes. This hop was graced 10y the
appearance of a bright and fascinating
little star. that has not for some time past
illumined the armament If our social
dances. Miss Maria BIS petite and al
