NEW MILFORD.

The poverty dance" at the opera
house last evening, under the manage
ment of Professor Hanrahan, of Bing-
hamton, was an enjoyable event. About
sixty couples participated, and the cos
tunes worn by many of them will be
kept in stock" to ornament the corn
fields early in the springtlme. Prizes
were given to Miss Cecilia Boyle and
Master Charley Brown for the superior
styles Of "dilapidatedness" displayed
in their wardrobes. Many other suits
were ideals of picturesqueness persona
fed, but lack of writing fluid prevents
our detailed panorama. 1t was a great
surprise to us to see the great change
i'm the modus operandl of terpshcority
since our juvenile days, when we used
to hoe it down on the corner and swing
and hug our "honey" till she had to go
outside to let her lungs refill. But now
everybody was as graceful with their
little skps and kicks as the typical
fawns of yore, having completely ami
hilated the beloved little Jig of our boy
hood days. But with all the improve
ment I'm grace, time. and variety of
dance, for the life of us we could not
discover the slightest advancement in
the mode of squeezing. And we were
glad Of 1t. The old way still has q

the ceiling there was apparently no
room for the swing to pass At last
the oscillations diminished, and the
swing came to rest. The effect was
really an optical illusion, similar to
that experienced on seeing a railway
train gliding past the train in which
we are seated, and causing us to think
that ours is moving at the same speed.
The swing itself did not turn round the
bar, but the chamber turned round
the swing, and the illusion was so
perfect that the occupants involun-
tarily clutched their seats at the turn
over to avoid being thrown out. The
furniture of the room, including what
prrported to be a kerosene lamp, but
was in reality electric, and could be
inverted without danger, was all de-
signed to keep up the illusion, which
was further helped by baby's peram-
bulator and chair with hat ON it,
