The subdued excitement of the past
two or three weeks will find a vent in
the St. Patrick's Day celebration to be i

an excuse for a frolic, and they are only
too glad to improve it. A general in
vitation is given to the public to at- !
tend this affair. The ladies are making |
Bxtensive preparations to nerve refresh- j
ments during the evening. It will be a i
jolly time and those who are looking :
