( Hero comes a letter last night, which i should have been received on Saturday 'morning, and (ho delay of everything I now must bo attributed to the snow-j snow-j blockade. .So this letter having es-! es-! enped LonLout, Miser, and other i places, mut find space at last, if it is I three daya late.

KdUuri Jluai-l: 't Tho .function ball came oil' last night and was in all respects a grand i success, reflecting great credit on Mr. Krb, of tho Junction ITouw, for his , indefitligablo energy in getting up such a sociable. As a caterer he is second to none, which I am confident every person who attended the hall will cor-. cor-. roborate. Indeed, when such a display of viands met tho eye, the question miu'ht have been nsked, are we in tho heart of tho "Cireal Ameri-can Ameri-can desert," or iu some gmnde 'saln of an eastern city? Nothing occurred oc-curred to mar tho pleasure of the evening. Kvcry one endeavored to vie with his neighbor as to who would be the jolliest, and what was better there was none of that "paper collar" i aristocracy present, but people of coui-' coui-' mon sense and refinement. Mormons ' and li entiles were thero and for tho life of mc 1 could not discern which was which. Sociables of this kind will tend more to bring about tho desired change faster than legal persecution of conscientious belief. Wc hope Mr. Krb will give us another an-other opportunity of seeing his genial countenance in h We dedanft: |
