IN FANCY DRESS.
The Assembly ar Marietta Last Night.
One of those pleasant events for which
the town of Marietta has become justly
famous occurred there last evening, when
tho fancy dress assembly was given
in Central hall, under the auspices Of .
committee of gentlemen who have Cor
some time been identified with the social
festivities of the lively little borough on
the Susquehanna. 1t is probable that in
the previous history of tho place there has
passed in brilliancy and thorough enjoy
mcpt the event that last night quickened
the social life Of the immediate locality in
which il took place. and the extent and in-
tluence of which was made manifest by
the presence of . number Of guests
from beyond the county limits. This city
furnished q complement Of some twenty
of her fairest daughters and bravest sons.
The scene Oh the floor Of the hall at nine
o'clock was one Of extreme beauty and
animation, which increased as the moments
freishted with pleasure sped rapidly by to
the music of tho dance. At the hour in
dicated tho grand march began, and to the
observer it constituted spectacle to DO
long remembered by reason Of its attrac.
tiveness and novelty. All the promo
naders were III fancy costume, and when
later on an occasional dress coat made its
appearance upon the floor it seemed but to
contribute to the general effect in way
that increased tue variety and spirit Of the
scene. The costumes were almost uni.
formly of bright color and novel design,
and the eye Of tn: observer was not
wearied by the appearance Of sameness
50 customary Oh occasions Of this
kind. Poet mingled with peasant, royalty
glittcred beside the bright hues of the
bourgeois, and the queenly beauty and
stately grace of the ancient court shOne in
ready contrast with tho no less equal
charms Of modern era. There was the
little shcpherdess, who couldn't be des-
cribed otherwise than cunning - the
vivandiere, who in military garb aud
iaunty grace was utterly distractinS the
merry huutress attired in dress Of her own
woodland hue and with all the accOutre-
mcnts of the chase, formed u conspicuous
and most attractive figure ON tho floor ;
while the bright eyed archer with
uuitCI SluuS HUI Sot tuO
hearts Of the young fellows pity pattiDg ;
the aesthetic drapery of tho renaissance set
off the shapely grace Of q transcendental
beauty; the golden stars pinned back
Nights sOmbre curtains aud shed a mellow
radiance upon the scene, while cOrOnals
glittered Oh beauty's brow and jewels
flashed and sparklcd at the thrOats, on the
arms and hands Of their lovely owners.
The young gentlemen, ;.s though splrred
by the dazzling charms of the gcntler sex,
fairly outvied each other in tho richness,
variety and general good taste Of their
dressing, and their mauly beauty gave to
tho unusual scene completeness and
rounded effect that could scarce
fail to answer tho require
ments Of tho most cxacting taste. No
wonder was il then that time flew
unheeded by, aud that the little hours had
begun to lengthen ere the last OF the
dancers had departed from tho place Of
festivity. OF course the music was by
TaylOr-hc and his excellont orchestra arc
considered indispensable adjuucts to the
success Of IN occasion OF this kind
and of course the sensuOus SYM
phOnies Of the waltz. and the more
measured movements Of tho quadrille
were par crcellence. 1t was in all
respects Il delightful OCCASION, in the con-
temptation of which the participants as
well as tho management may congratulate
themselves. To Messrs. Simon b. Cam
eron, George Gilbert Cameron, ID. Brain
ard Case and David Il. Melailey, the
managing committee, is duo the credit of
promoting the affair, and to the same gen
tlemen and the young ladies whose
names appear upon the reception commit
teo belongs all praise for carrying it
through to such a successful termination.
