PENNBURGYI :GAZETTE: FRIDAY, ,FEBRUARY 12,
New York Masaplerades .and Estrava
_
A New York correspondent says:
1 was asking a lady what was the char
acter of the masked ball she visited the
night before at the Academy of Music.
"Splendid!" she answered, with enthu
siasm. "Iv'e been to masquerades every
season-for the last fifteen years, and never
saw so much dress. In paint of elegance
it `laid over' anything in New York. I
didn't see anything objectionable. We
came away early."
"Splendid'." I should think so. One
lady wore a white silk with train three
yards long, flounced to the waist with
black lace and puffs of black illusion, and
had diamonds to match set in black and
white enamel. Diamonds means dia
monds, too, at an Academy bail: Fringes
of them two inches deep, and three rows
of these strands for the necklace; a spray
in Moorish setting for the hair; brooch
for the corsage, and bracelets of stones
among two or three gold bands. White
and ruby colored satin opera cloaks,
trains four yards long, arms and throats,
- strewn with coral jewelry, white point
over-dresses, are among the elegancies of
costume. No doubt madame saw only
what was sumptuous and gay. But the
gentlemen who looked in about two in
the morning were chary of their reporti.
The ambitions young women who dressed
in Belle Helens, are she devils in red
satin, and in tights with velvet jackets,
imitated the humors of the worst ac
tresses with great success. To say noth
ing of the dancing, 'which wasn't so bad
as it looked, it is to be hoped, the sirens
of the ball, many of them, had to betaken
home drunk, and were bundled into their
carriages by the maliers,Vithhumorons
comments, as they
,were lifted from their
helpless and careless postures
Private -luxury has probably reached
its camas in this country ia a Fifth Ave
nue house, between Sixteenth aud Seven
teenth streets. The rooms were described
as fitted up with furniture having India
camel's hair coverings. after the style
long admired for the boudoira of duch
esses in England. The
ro , suite for Ithe
drawing•room was bugnt from the
French exhibition; the doors are of very
fine bronzes, imported, with' the family
monogram inlaid in solid silver; te cur
tains so fine and heavily wrou h ght as
to start the rumor that they were of
round point, in which case they would
cost two thousand dollars a window,
which even these princely Americans - are
hardly ready to give. Some of the finest
diamond sets at the Exposition were
brought over for the lady of this house,
whose jewels compare with those of the
highest nobility.
The Fruit Prospects.
A Rochester (N. Y.) paper says: "We
have heard no complaints in this region,
thus far thli season, in regard to the in- '
jury of the peach buds, frofn severe
weather, and it is hoped they will not be
killed this winter. In some places in the
West, the mercury has fallen considera
bly lower than in Western New York,
and in some parts of Missouri and Illi
nois it is reported the peach buds have
been injured."
A letter from Champaign, Illinois.
states: "Many rumors are afloat in regard
to the condition of the peach buds. That
they are killed in many places is doubtless
true,Lut in the majority of the peach
orchards of the , State, there Is no doubt
of an abundant supply of live buds for a
good crop. Few people - distinguish be
tween fruit and leaf buds and a less num
ber are familiar with what are known as
dormant leaf or fruit buds. Hence so
much contradictory evidence in regard
the condition of fruit buds.
The Annapolis (Md.) Republican states:
"While in conversation one day during
the week with a friend residing in the inte
rior of the county, we learned that the
fruit growers in his and surrounding vi
cinities were greatly alarmed lest the fruit
crop this season should prove a total fail
ure. The long continued mild• tempera
.cure has had the effect of placing the trees
in such a condition that the first cold
snap occurring, of which we will proba
bly have many, will undoubtedly exert a
very disastrous influence over their yield.
A TEtzoruar to the Chicago TriZune,
from Jacksonville, Illinois, gives theso
particulars of the mysterious murder of
General McConnell: ,
Never has our community been more
shocked than it was today by.the circu
lation of the report of the murder of Sen
ator Murray McConnell, who has been a
resident of Jacksonville since 1820, and
taken a prominent part in all matters per
taining to its Interest. He was found at
8:45 this morning, in his private bedroom
and office, upon the floor on his face in a
pool of blood. He had breakfasted . ritlt
the family about 8 o'clock, and was een
in his room alone, reading, about ten min
utes before his lifeless body was dis Co
vered. No one was seen or heard to enter
the room or premises, which axe located
on one of 'the main streets of the city.
Five deep trashes, like those made from
the blows of ahammer,were found on his
head. The jaw bone was broken, and
the skull fractured in several places.
There is not the slightest clue to the
Motive of the perpetrator of the deed.
He was perfectly lifeless when found.
The General wain his seventy-first year. d
Major McConnell, his son, has offere
a reward of one thousand dollars for the
apprehension of the assassins. The Cor
oner's jury have been in Session all day,
but have brought in no verdict as yet.
The greatest excitement prevails.
GunaT excitement has been caused in
Fort Wayne, Indiana, bY the urea of
John W. Vannatta, charged !with having

of the wedding all the guests assembled
