LAKE GEORGE.

Great excitement, not to say con- SternatiOn, was caused in Lake George on Thursday evening of last week, by the masquerade entertainment fur nished by youngIgentleman residing in that vicinity. The comedy came as a surprise to most of the inhabitants. Garbed in some nondescript article which resembled lady's wrapper more than ought else, with bearded fully and wonderfully made, and arm ed with bouquets of cut flowers, he proceeded to call at the different houses where, with the exception of one, he was received with plaudits. But his comedy at this one nearly re- suited in tragedy, the awful appari tiOn very nearly causing heart failure to two of the inmates and. necessita- ting the presence of the doctor half an hour later (sO he learned the next day when he called to ascertain the result of his adventure.) It is to be hoped when he attempts such freak again himself with a forerunner, thereby precluding all fatalities.
