THE CALEDoNIANs.-TheC aledonian Club
of this city gave an invitation party last
evening at Jacobs Hall, which was in
every sense of the word a grand success.
The hall was crowded at an early hour.
and dancing began promptly at s o'clock
a large number of the members of the
club were in full Highland costume, and
their plaid sashes and kits, their iaunty
caps and eagle plumes and silver thistle
badges looked neat indeed, and formed a
striking contrast to the black swallow
tailed coats worn by those who do not
trace their lineage back to the land of
Bobby Burns 1t was by far the largest
party of the season, and it is doubtful if
ever before Jacobs Hall was so completely
packed with people. Every available foot
of space upon the dancing floor was util-
led and many who could not gain
admittance to the dancing floor stood
in the ante-rooms and halls, view
ing the merry throng as they tripped
the light fantastic toe to the merry
strains of excellent music through the in
tricate measures of the various dances. 1t
was an informal party in the strict sense of
the word. There were no printed pro-
grammes, no floor manager running hither
and thither, with a gold badge upon his
breast, no committees to consult, but it
was a genuine go as you please" and
:" have good time kind of a social. All
formalities were laid aside, and the Scotch
men welcomed their friends in that hos
pitable manner which has always charac-
terized the Caledonians of this city and
made their every attempt at amusements
a pronounced success. Refreshments were
served without stint, and no pains were
spared by the club generally, each member
q nf ON
for that purpose, to make it as pleasant for
every guest as possible.
A CASE OF CHAMBERS = Yesterday, in
Department One of the Superior Court
Judge Van Fleet was occupied all day in
hearing the case of Woods VS.. Cutler. 1t

The plaintiff. AYERS that the defendant sold
him horse for $3.50, warTanting ii to be
sound. He claims that it afterwards
turned out to be a glandered animal, and
the purchaser, on the strength of his con-
tract, tried to get the defendant to take
back the animal and refund the $3.50 This
Cutler refused to do, saying the animal
was not diseased at the time the sale was
made. In the lower Court plaintiff got
judgment for $3.50, and defendant appealed
the case. Plaintiff AYERS that defendant is
a veterinary surgeon, ard knew at the time
ne sold the animal that it was glandered,
and consequently worthless. J. C. Tubbs

continued until Monday next for argu
ment.
