Last night couple of ladies took it into
their heads to have little sport, and accord
ingly one Of them dressed herself in male
attire for the occasion, while her associate
promenaded the street with her, introducing
her to her friends as her brother. They called
upon one old gentleman at his home, who by
tho way was their nearest neighbor, and 80
complete was the disguise that the old gentle
man failed to detect it. We would suggest
that the ladies be very careful in the future
how they conduct themselves, as the law i'm.
poses fne Of cas- for ladies' dressing them
selves in male attire, and promenading the
streets in that condition.
