in her usual deties, was suddenly
stricken with some fatal disease which
quickly terminated in death.
The young ladies of the town
rendered a leap year dance to their
gentleman friends in Cochran's Hall,
on Monday evening, and the customs
which the ladies are permitted to
take advantage of once in every four
years, were carried out to the letter.
Quite a number were present, and
the dance was much enjoyed.

which is the fact that it continued in
session from s o'clock until 1890.
