A GAY BALL-sLIGHT EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
Editors Spectator.-As anumber of your towns
people are sojourning here possibly a word
from here would be of Interest The first sensa-
ton Of the week was the Ball Friday night
The costumes were very handsome and beyond
the power of the writer to describe. Among
the participants were the Misses Funkhouser,
and Miss Splitter, of Staunton Miss Patterson,
Of Harriston, Miss MeCommon, of Leroy, Miss
Witt, OF Stanton, Miss Yount, of South River.
Miss Myers, of Middle River. Mrs. Craig of

Allemong. of Bridgewater. Mrs. ]. R. Kemper
and daughter, of Fishersville, Mrs. Thornton
Stout, of New Hope, Mrs. Kaigy, of Weyers
Cave, and number of others. The music was
furnished by EMBELLISHMENTS, ami it was a
successful ball. The only difficulty seemed to
be a dearth ofyoung gentlemen. and we hope
your city will send down delegation for the
coming ball Friday night. The last sensation
was slight tremor of the earth last night
which is supposed was an earthquake. The
shock was slight, and did no damage except to
frighten some of the more timid ladies who
were aroused by 1t-some say 1t was The bear,
which has been seen near the Hotel. roaming
over the porches, but others who know say it
was positively slight disturbance of the earth
from some unknown cause. There are about
one hundred or more visitors here and con-
stantly coming in. The scenery en- route hero
is grand, the "Horse Head being one of the
sights. This place is reached by carriage road,
6 miles from Harrlston on Shen. Valley r. R.,
