The masquerade ball given in the Hall under the auspices of theyoung people of town, on Friday evening last, was by far the grand party of the season.

The big man or the clown and the Indian constituted the "Wild West Show." There were at least twenty others in costume. The lookers-on seemed to be more in terested than those in dress, as they were continually figuring out who that party could possibly be and even to the end they were in doubt. Those masked relieved themselves of their dry goods at 11:30 p. m., after which all joined in a social dacee. Atty. F. 11. Ingham of LaPorte, has recently purchased a "C" cor net of the Diston manufacturer, of Williamsport, and admirers his pur chase very much. Hon. 'l'hos. V. Copper, F. Mac Cully Esq., and Mr. j. W. Durham, all of Philadelphia and Mr. F. W. Smith of Reading, who are rusti cating at the 'Mere, m»de LaPorte and Lake Mokoma a visit, on Tues day. The party took a row on Lake Mokoma. The Hon. Thos. Y. and Judge Ingham occupied one boat nnd Aveic fishing for chubs to feed the 40. handsome trout kept in the box. One of the party unfortunate ly got his hook fast and while in the act of unfastening it capsized the boat and both gentlemen plunged headforemost in the deep waters of Lake Mokoma. Ji'dge Ingham in - quired of the Senator if he in his boy-hood days had learned to swim and with a favorably reply both pulled for the shore. Fortimately they were not in very deep water. The Senator said about up to his watch pocket. The others of the party escaped ayy misfortunes. Mr. Mac Cully is on the Philadelphia Bulletin staff and the people of the Quaker City will undoubtedly be made acquainted with the sad story of the deep. After the party had caught a sufficient number of chubs they proceeded to the box where Billy Moyer cut them up and fed the trout. All wero surprised at the size of the speckled beauties and said they were the finest they, ever saw. Lake Makoma bidß fair tc te one of the best trout lakes in the state and when the time rolls around that all are allowed to drop an angle into its heaving bosom, we shall all be pleased to have with us the above mentioned party. , . . „ THE CROUSE MYSTERY. Arrests, It is Said, to be Made at an Early Date. From the Williamsport Republican July 25. Tuesday, when a Republican re porter spent a few hours at Lairds ville, he was informed by J>ersoiis of good authority that very strong suspicion is developed on a bad character of that place of having played a very important part in the Ilirnm Crouse tragedy. Several ar rests will soon be made, as a brother of Mr. Crouse has arrived fioin Col umbia county and is looking into the matter mere detiritel}-. Although lie has offered a reward of SI,OOO for the arreßt of the party or parties who were interested in the horrible death of lii 3 brother, none has yet been made, and he says his object in visiting Lairdaville was to arrest the above mentioned intimated person. The particulars of an outrage of the most fiendish nature lias just come to light in the suburbs of Smithville, a small village about twelve miles north of Pittston. On Sunday night two Poladders named Kosh missed a trunk from their room containing $45 and some clothes. No trace of ttie trunk was found until Wednesday night, when the wife of Thomas Tobiii, who re sides close by the Folander's house, went to procure some wood which was stored under the house. , In doing so she discovered the trunk and naturally gave the alarm This was the means of attracting quite a large crowd, among them being the four Polanders. They, seeing the trunk became enraged and seizing Tobin began beating him, at the same time charging him with theft. His protestations of in nocence only increased their anger and they dragged him to the Fair view branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and tied him to the track with strong ropes. He lay face j downward with his whole body stretched out on the track. So tightly was he secured that he. could not move. About 1 o'clock a coal train came in view. According to Tobin's story of the affair, he now gave up all hope and commeced to pray. Fortunately the train was running up grade. The engineer Baw Tobin's face move slightly. He whistled down brakes, and when about ten yards from the object on the track he jumped from the cab and running ahead saw the man's "terrible predicament. He pulled out a knife and cut the rope just in time to save Tobin from being cut in pieces by the wheel. The Polan ders have been arrested and com mitted to jail.
