in place of the Pythians, who have been expelled.
The Salems now have Hill of the Lowells, who

expected that all persons participating will be
careful to appear en- toilette as if at an assem-
bly, at the Falmouth. The gallery will be
completely divorced from the floor. and it is
contemplated to arrange the space under the
galleries as grand salon, draped with elegant
portieres, furnished with the handsomest furn-
lture, and csrpeted with costly rugs. This
salon will be for the use of the ladies' and gen.
tlemen who do not dance, and tables will be
provided for cards. AT one side of the stage
tea and coffee will be furnished during the
evening. In Reception Hall, Mrs. Ulmer will
provide an excellent supper. Chandler will
provide the music. No one will be permitted

tended that the purchasers of tickets observe
the same etiquette as if in a private house.
