The Kew Tears Ball. The New

of be Independence City band on Is ew
Year's eve was one or the most bril
liant social eveuts or the season. Some
fifty odd couple were present, just
enough to fill the opera house com
fortably, and yet plenty of room for
the quadrilles, polkas, waltzes, etc.
The P.utler orchestra and the city
band furnished Hoe music for the oc
casion. It was never the writer's good
fortune to witness a nioro genteel aud
orderly assemblage of people in a ball
room than was present at tho opera
house last Monday night. Eveiy

A Kew Tear's Watch Party. About
fifty persons gathered at the residence

time was enjoyed by all. Just before
midnight prayer was offered up by
Rev. Mr. Smith, and as the merry
chimes of the church bells rang in the
New Year, congratulations were or-
fered aud "a Happy New ear" greet-
lii! extended to each aud all. These
social gatherings aro very pleasant af
