An Explanation.

most estimable young ladies formed
themselves into an organization for the
purp oss of holding Leap Year party
and reception before the commence
ment of the Lenten season. Malcolm's
Academy aud Danz's orchestra had
been secured for thu occasion and a
number of invitations to what promised
to be one Of the best and most select
parties Of the season, were sent out by
the young ladies to their gentlemen
friends But owing to certain clrcum-
stances with Which most of our readers
are familiar, the ladies' interested in
the movement wsre advised to aband-
on their project and declare the Leap
Y ear party off, which advice was cheer
fully accepted aad no reception held.
Then followed a statement in a morn-
ing paper to the effect that, certain
young lady who was scorned by her as
sociates in making I'D the list, had made
a successful attempt to break up the
party, and that the four young ladies
who were on the arrangements COM
mittee were Obliged to pay the expense
of the music and hall rent amounting
to $46,
We desire to make the following
statement in reply to the article referred
to: First, No young lady was scorned
Second, Mr. Danz did not receive any
thing for the mus sic he was to furnish,
nor did he ask it. Third, Professor NAL
colin did not receive anything for tue
rent of his academy and would not ac-
cept it under the circumstances, and
finally the explanation given by the
committee TO Prof. Danz, Prof. NAL
colin and Mr.. E. M. May, was perfectly
satisfactory to the above named gentle
men, and this is all there is in it. &

"A letter is just made public from Gen.
