The young men’s New Yesr’w Par
ty, at the Arlington, <>n Monday
evening, is said to have been the
most pleasant and fashionable event
of Waynesboro society for some
time. A few days previous, the
unique and nobby invitations that
were issued to various guests far and
near, acted as the welcome heralds
of those exquisite pleasures that
were soon to fol ow. And when the
hour came for the assembling of the
merry-hearted Terpsichoreans, eager
to engage in the mazes of the “po
etry of motion,” so delightful in its
charrm, a beautiful picture presented
itself, and apparently seemed unreal,
while Fancy at once gave it the sem
blance of some festive scene among
he grottos of a fairy land. The
bright lamps throughout the parlors
of the Arlington never shown over
fairer specimens of accomplished and
refined beauty—at whose shrine
many knightly and gallant attend
ants worshipped in complete adora
tion ; and when the splendid music
of the Augusta Opera House Band
arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again
Aud all went as merry as a marriage bell I
The array of lovely evening attire,
w>rn by the many graceful and
queenly forms, added much to the
exquisite display of the scene pre
sented, and while the power of the
pen i9 inadequa e to describe them,
special mention would be but an at
tempt to do justice. Miss Lillian
Wilkins appeared in a splendid suit
of white Organdy, with diamond or
naments ; Miss Mamie Byne, cream
satin terra cotta silk, with cameo or
naments; Miss Mattie Anderson,
pearl silk and i-crul lace; the lovely
white morina with swan’s down and
diamonds, worn by Miss Nina Wil
kins, and the handsome c -stume of
rose satin and silk, crimson roses
with pearl ornaments, of Miss Lulu
Lee Byne, were conspicuous among
the handsome toilets of the evening.
The beautiful purple silk marvelau
and pearls of Mis9 Bessie Godbee,
the white lace hunting, of Miss
L<%ie Neely, the black lace and
crimson satin of Misb Annie Green,
the blue satin and cashmere of Miss
Julia Thomas, the olive surah silk of
Mr*. W. E Jones, the white satin
nun’s veiling and Spanish lace of
Mrs. Jesse Green, and drab silk of
Mr*. C. F. Shewmake, make up a
number of the evening dresses upon
that occasion.
Sylvanus Morris, E^q , of Athens,
Messrs. J. 8. Nixon and J. A. Thom
as, of Augusta, were among the gen
tlemen attending from neighboring
cities.
Joy and happiness reigned »u
preme throughout the short lived
hours of enjoyment, and the “im
perial waltz,” with its entrancing
fascination* w • ended with much re
gret to the participants. And the
hat>py recollections of that evening
still linger upon the threshold of
memory, aud will ever be bright
souvenirs treasured in the heart until
many uew years to come shall dawn
upon u». To the young men who
were the projectors of this happy
event, we wish much joy, and may
their knightly hearts, respectively,
experience the actual possession pi'
their ch'*ice i» life, and be to them
l fir*t flower of th»* earth, first gem <*f
the sea, and fairer than the evening
air clad in Jho beauty ot a thousand
stars.”

ed off, sustaining no injury. Some
ha f mile from the first obstruction, a
long stringer was placed on the track,
which was again knocked off. A few
hundred yards from the last mentioned
obstruction, a lot of wood was pilled
upon the track ; but the train was then
moving very slow, and the pilot ran
upon the wood and stooped. Had the
train been moving fast, this last ob
struction would certainly have thrown
it from the track, and may have caused
several murders, as the train was com
fortably full of passengers. Nothing
would better fit such scoundrels than a
good cord and a convenient liuib. The

—We issued no psper on Christ

Up things, posting our books, and
straightening out generally. But we
calculated without a knowledge of
“what a day might bring forih.” For
the past two weeks our Pre s ha*
been running all day and until late
in the night, we have not had an
hour’s r*’st, and no time to make out
account— and still the pressure con
tinues. We cannot find it in our heart
to turn off a good patron, and if our
friends will he a little patient, we

-Wo stated in our last. regular, is
sue, that Mr. 8. Schwarzweiss had made
an assignment. We are informed that
our statement was incorrect, and that
Mr. Schwarzweiss had not made an
assignment, but had sold to Mr. H.
Franklin. The following item, from
Bradstreet’s report will doubtless settle
the matter :
Ways ksboro,—S. Scb war« weiss,

mortgage for ubmt $15,000. Liabili
ties about $35 000: nominal assets
about $20,000; actual assets, about
$12,000.
