The fashionable world had been on the qua vice for nearly two weeks, in anticipation of the brilliant party to be given by Gov. Brown, the Postmaster General, and his accomplished lady. Ramor said that onc, two, and even three thou- sand cards of invitation had been issued, and it ‘was expected to bea magnificent affalr—the party of the season. ** Are you going to Gov. Brown’s party?” was asked an hundred times a day in political as well as social cireles, and from the number of attirm- ative answers civen we expected to meet a crowd Tuesday night came, and jumping into a hack told the driver our destination, but on gettin, within a square of the Governor's mansion found at least fifty carriages ahead of us, which were stowly delivering their “precious freight’ at the door. After having paid our respects to the Governor and his lady, who did the honors with great dignity and grace, we sauntered into the “east room,”’ where were ‘‘mingling in the maze of the giddy dance” thi ung and fair and beauti- ful of the Federal City. All was joy and glad- ness. and “ Bright a spoke love to eyes which spoke azain, And ali went merry as a marriage bell.” But the cotillon is at an end, and a dozen gen- tlemen claim the hand of a bright and beautiful being, of fairy form, whose bright eves, sweet smile, and unaffected manner has made her the observed of all observers.

We have been assured, by several respectable gentlemen, that Mr. Stone, the apothecary, who sold the arsenic to the slave boy of Mr. Kengla, and with which he killed himself, was com- pletely deceived by the representations of the boy, otherwise he would not have sold bim the article. The facts, as we are informed, are as follows :— Mr. Kenyta had been in the habit, from time to time, of getting articles from Mr. Stone; and. upon this occasion, the boy came in the naine of his master, telling Mr. 8. that his master had sent him to get thearticle, for the purpose of de- stroving rats about bis premises. Mr. S. ques- tioned him very closely; and the boy giving such peeesiie: answers to ail his inquiries, and he nowing both the boy and his master, was indu- ced to let him have it, not supposing, for a mo- ment, that the boy intended to make an improper use of it. If these are the facts. and we bave no reason to doubt them, they certainly exonerate Mr. Stone froin all culpability in the matter. In using the term “unscrupulous,” in our notice of the occurrence, we did aot intend itin the otten- sive sense in which some might construe it’ We intended to convey the idea that draggists should be far more scrupulous about selling deadly pot sons to irresponsible persons than they wonld an article innocent in its nature, without the pre- scription of a physician or an order froma known, responsible person ‘he following gentlemen were, on Monday night, elected officers of Covenant’ Lodge, 1.
