IZOiv AT A 13ALT.,--Last night a ball was given
at the nitional Guards' Hall. Towards morning
there was, more or less fighting in the barroom.
About half.past four o'clock this morning a man
was knocked down and beaten. A party of mon
who had been attending another ball came up
about this time and entered the Hall. The fight
ing- was renewed, and a man named Daniel Red
ding was cut, but was not seriously injured. The
doors were locked then, but Lieut. Bowers, with
several of his policemen, came up, got the place
open and arrested all who were inside. The pri
soners gave the names of Daniel Dowling, Thos.
Leery, Dan Borden, John Brophy, Thos. Horn,
Edward Doyle. James Higgene, James Marnhy
and Lawrence Murphy. They were taken before
Alderman Godliou, and were held to bail to keep
the peace.
"Wirs•rwAno, Ho!" is the march now on Chest•
tint street, and to accommodate the rush, Wm.
Rollo Stevenson has leased the property 1225

a first-class saloon for families and parties. The
alterations and furnishing for the reception of
- visitors will ly! finishel by the 31st, and on the
first day of February the saloon will be opened
to the public. Vie well-known abilities of Rollo
:Stevenson as a caterer will insure the establish
ment the patronage of Philadelphians, and they
will find one worthy of them. Stevenson is sure
to make his establishment a success, from his
thorough knowledge in all the branches of the
business, and his former experience in the first
class establishments of this city,

cvening. The building will be decorated in the
batataomest manner; . two full orchestras will con
tribute promenade and dance music. Every ar
rangement will be made for the perfect comfort

character of the gentlemen forming this society

antee that it will be a scrupulously proper affair.
MTV:3IIMM BonerAtty.—This morning, be
tween , twelve, and one o'clock, three men at
,
tempted to break into the house of Dirt. Barns,
on Richmond street, below Ann. The burglars
got into the yard and commenced operations
upon a back door. They were frightened off be
fore they bad effected an entrance, and beat such
a hasty retreat that they loft behind them a brace
and bit.
THE MAENNEHCHOR.—The grand annual bal
masque of the Maennorchor is announced to take
:place at the Academy of Music on Wednesday
evening next, 29th inst. It is scarcely necessary
to say anything more. Tho character of the
balls of the Macunerchor is well known, and the
'one of next week will be fully equal to those
- which have delighted so many people for a long
Series of years.
PnEss CLun.—The stated meeting . of the Press
Club of Philadelphia was held yesterday after
noon. The new constitution and by-laws were
adopted. ' The semi-monthly meetings hereafter
be exclusively for literary purposes—reading
of essays and general debate. These meetings
will no doubt be of great interest to the mem
13ers.
SAT.:NOEL:I:IM) BALL—The annual masked ball
-of the Briengerbund will come off on Monday
evening next, at Horticultural Hall. The balls
of this association have always been largely at-
tended and a great variety of fancy dresses have
been worn. The arnmgetnents ,made indicate
- that the coming ball will be as brilliant as any of
former Seasons. '
Sost.iciolk; or BURGLARY.-A young, man
marmd John Hasson was arrested at Thirteenth
and South streets, yesterday, on suspicion of
laving been concerned in the robbery of the

NEW JERSEY SYMMS.
ATLANTIC CITY.—On Tuesday evening a large
and earnest meeting of the citizens of Atlantic
City was held at the Mayor's office, for the pur
pose of considering the best measures to provide
against the encroachment of the sea and the
washing away of the shore along the Inlet front.
D. W. .Belisle was chosen Chairman, and Dr.
Thomas K. Reed, Secretary. After the 'object
had been stated by the Chair, who urged the great
necessity of moving at once in the matter, and
showing the great advantages that would result
from such protection, it was decided that peti
tions be circulated extensively for signatures,
-asking Congress to investigate the matter, and
make a suitable appropriation for constructing
the necessary defences. The same petition as
was printed in the Ber.LaTIN a few days ago,
was adopted, and the entire meeting signed it.
Similar meetings are to be held in various other
places for the same purpose.
To UN COMIIIENCED.—The horse-car Passenger
Railroad Company, of Camden,contcmplate com
mencing the building of their road as soon as the
spring opens, and the preliminary measures have
been perfected. They have applied for a-supple
ment to their charter, which will give them bet
ter facilities for completing the road. When fin
ished, this will be one of the most advantageous
enterprises that have been carried through in
Camden for many years.
TILE Num CHARTER.—The subject matter
which is to be incorporated into the now charter
" for the city of Camden has been iu the hands of
the Solicitor for some time, and he is putting it
into legal shape, preparatory for placing it before
the Legislature for its action. This new charter
Is to be a great improvement on the old one, as
it does away with the super-abundant amend
ments and supplements which now encumber its
provisions, and retard its enforcements.
'Will Salt Lake City be Destroyed?
The correspondent of the Cleveland (Ohio)
Herald, writing from Salt Lake City, makes
the following remarkable statements in rela
tion to the impending destruction of that
town. lie says :
The beautiful and picturesque Salt Lake,
with its hundred mountain islets, has now
long been in sight, with its varied and chang
ing grand views, with its placid, unruffled
bosom. Ile who beholds, beholds but to ad
mire. It is about 125 mils long and about
7.5 miles across at its wid St place. I am in
forme° that into it are drained and poured, by
river and rivulets, the waters of an area of
country of over 300,000 square miles. A. vast
amount of water, and yet this lake has no
outlet. What becomes of this water? Can
evaporation alone dispose of it ? I am also in
formed that the water of the lake rose last
year three feet, and is now continuing to
rise at the same rate. Should this continue
for a few years longer, beware, ye Saints of
the saintly city . l—ye will be swallowed up
as were the saints of the cities of old, to
gether with their cities, by that other Dead
lea ! On the sides of the mountains stir
rounding - the lake at ti vertical = height of - at
/east two hundred lake;
traceable,
.can be seen the evidences of water mark,
made by the laving of waves, perhaps of cen
turies duration, making it plainly evident to
even the rnost bieredulous that in some former
age the lake had been very mush larger than
it now is, possibly of twenty times its present
Sraa. If this is true, as it surely is, the lake
now riabm. why may it not attain its former
level? What drained it? We cannot see,
nor do I believe that reason can be given
therefor. The cause of draining having ceased
or ceasing, it will again fill up. The lake is
generallyshallow, and no living thing exists
below the surface of its waters,nor floats upon
i ;a bosom.

At present, the profits of the Company are derived
only from its local traffic, but this is already much more

Company can issue, if not , another mile were built. It is
not doubted that when the road is completed the through
traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and. Pac

be no competition, it can always be done at profitable
