The Rev . preacher exhorted the Brethren , who figuratively described themselves to be buiidersto be careful where they laid the foundation

astonished and delighted at the manner in which the performance was executed . Though the company consisted almost exclusively of noncommissioned officers and privates , with their wives ancl children , yet there was not the least lack of orderly conduct or the most correct deportment ; indeed it was some minutes before we perceived that we were not witnessing the evolutions of officers and their ladies . The ease and elegance , the gentlemanly conduct ancl lady-like demeanour , which
prevailed throughout the evening , were truly gratifying ; these and the dexterity with which they tripped on the light fantastic toe , proved the possibility of being even a private soldier in the field , and a gentleman in the Ball room .

way of distinction genteel , would have suffered materially in comparison with what was exhibited last evening . At about 12 o ' clock the whole company sat down to a table most pleasingly and substantially laid out in Wilson ' s best style , and we have no doubt that with the gratifications thus realized and the delights previously experienced , both beaux and belles departed at an early hour , not at all regretting their evening ' s entertainment , which afforded us more pleasure than anything of the kind has for a long time done .
