overtako them. The story was not given

The movement in favor of 2-cent beer
is rather cheeky. According to late an
alysis this popular beverage contains
cocculus indicus, oapsicum, ginger, quassia.
calomus root, wormwood. caraway and
c ,riander seed. copperas. sulphuric acid,
c.eam of tartar, alum, carbonate of pot
ash, ground oyster shells, nux vomica,
picrotum. strychnine and the Lord only
knows what else. And all that for 2 cents
a schooner! Why the idea!
The managers of the Grand Christmas
Ball informs us that with each ticket sold,
an elegant souvenir silk ribbon will be
pined to it. Now these ribbons are in
tended for the gentlemen to wear, on the
night of the ball, both as souvenirs and in
order so as the floor managers can keep
things moving O. k. And "after the ball
is over" the gentlemen can present them
to his 'best girl" or in case he is SO un
fortunate as not to possess "best girl"
then give them to whome he pleases, but
the ribbons MUST be worn on the night of
the ball. Dancing begins at eight (s)
O'Clock p. M, sharp please bear this in
mind. Ladies without escorts will be adj
mited free. Everybody cordially invited
to attend.
