A few nights pre- yious to this a band of jovial fellows with a violin received aa invitation to spend an evening before their depar- ture. They enjoyed themselved to the utmost degree possible while tlie violin made the rooaas reechoe with its harmonious strains, and the boys trip- ped tbe light fantastic toe, very gently until the treumpeter from his roost suddenly told them of the midnight hour when they departed wishing them success in their yankee carer, and warning them to advocate social- ism.
