The regular Friday evening tTeceptions of that lady are very a! tractive and immensely popclar, as might naturally be supposed, censidering the host of readers Who peruse with undiminished inter- est, year-after year, her serial stories in the New York Ledger; and this Friday evening coming on New Years’ day, ihe happy idea ocourred to ber of departing somewhat from the usualbroutine, in order to maxe the occa- sion one of special enjoyment for her guests. ‘With this object im view, her neighbors and friends wese invited to participate in a mas- querade party at Prospect Oottage, and that picturesque building never held within its walls & bappier party thar was assembled there lastevening. The cosy parlor was filled with merry groups of young people in cos- tume, while. en the lower Soor dancing was kept up with spirit to the music of King’s band. The masks were removed about mid- night, when many surprises took place, as the disguisec in some cases were very complete. The party shoxly afterwards partook of an elegamt supper, and then resumed dancing. The hostess as «Mrs. Partington” was very entertaining, while her son, Dr. Richmond Southworth, whods home from New York for the Christmas holidays, created considerable amusement as Ike.’ Her daughter, Mi Laurence, was very successful in preserring ber incognita as “The Unkuown.” Another beautiful and interesting member of Mrs. South worth’s household, Miss Lola Clark, first personated “Topsy,” ina manner which would have satisfied Mrs. Stowe, and afterwards ap- peared as +Night;” ber rich and beeoming attire in that character suiting admirably with her queenly bearing. Bliss Olark’s efforts to please added greatly to the enjoyment of those present, and some of the gentigmen came near losing their hearts. Miss Edith Henshaw first as that “lone, lorn cretar,” “Mrs.Ganmidge,” and afterwards as “Myra, the Gipsey,” acquitted herself admirably in both characters, though her beauty better fits her for the latter person- ation. Mr. Emmett Duval as “Terrence O'Toole,” and Mr. Delano as “tev. Petroleum V. Nasby,” were got up in excellent style, and created considerable smasement Miss Maude Porter as «Lucretia Borgia,” Miss Biauche Porter as “Beatrice,” and Miss Mary Porter as “Cigareita,” excited much admiration, as did Mrs. Eisenbery as Seott’s « Rowena. Master Charlie Edmonston as a bootblack, and Wilhe Edmonston as a Rasman Count, (both sons of Mr. C. T. Edmonston, who, wih bis lady, was present.) were very good.

Marshal Goodloe, of North Carolina, and a number of gentlemen and ladies were present. some with, and some without masks. Alto- gether the entertainment was a great success. Mrs. Southworth’s reputation as an author- ess, We may mot tmappropriately add here, is every year enabling her to Increase the com. forts of her home, and enlarge the circle of her uretulness. We saw fast night a letter ad- dressed to her from the proprietors of the new Philadelphia weekly, the Saturday Night, offer- ing ber $10,000 for an original story, but her engagements with Mr. Bonner, of the New Ledger, Will not allow her to accept it.

A «right smart” young mau by the name of Marcelins undertook to court the prettiest girl in town. The girl (Emma) favor- ed bis suit, but the cruel father objected, scold- ed, stormed, raved, swore and threatened. Nevertheless Marcellus persisted in paving bis attentions to the blooming Emma. Mar- celtus bad served his country on board a battle sbip, and had iearned that noise never killed a courageous marine. The mother of the damsel favored his suit, and ber brother manfully took bis part. In due time Marcellus and Emma were married, as I hope ali true lovers will be. The father of the young bride hassued Marcel- lus for tea, cake, borse-taiting, candles, and several breakfasts consumed at his various visits to Emma, to the amount of some 890 Cheap enough, too, no doubt.

On Sun ‘week.an elopement and marriage took pisceae Marine city, the being a young man, aged seventeen, and a young lady, aged fourteen, both belonging to families mov- ing im the first circles of society in that place. ‘The affair has created considerable excitement and talk at Marine city and also at this place, &s it contains ail the elements of a domestic ro- mance, witbout, hewever, the auspicious ter- mination which uanally accompanies these fictitious eyisodes-of love’s vicissitades. The young mau is named Albert Graves, and is a cousin of Hoe. N..SsBoynton, our representa. tive elect to the State Legislature. Albert has been paying bis addresses to Miss Susie Wes- cott, the youthful and charming daughter of Mr. D. H. Wescott, for over & year past, and it is hardly necessary tostate they became deeply enamored of each other, The attention of the Parents of both parties was directed to their ‘wooing, and efforts were made to prevent their meeting. In fact, itreng and determined op. position was raised, and the yontnfal lovers were givem to understand that they must ney- ermore join hearts or hands at love’s trysting Place, or breathe the “old, old story” into each willing ear, This stern mandate was attended with its natural consequences—only making them more devotediy attached and more det-rmined sad successful om finding ways and means of meeting each other. Feeling that they were cruelly treated they d+ S:rmined to make one bold stroke for tree dom and happiness. On the afternoon of Sua- day, the 13th inst., without consniting their re- latives, and accompanied by a male friend. they jumped into catter and drove overto D. F Hart, whore residence is abort two miles west of Merine city, and were there and then united, by thet gentleman, in che holy bonds of wed- leck. The parents of the young lady missed ber, and after a little search got an in'sling of what was going on. A brother of the young lady, with a friend, D. Desier, ¢» into a cutter and made chase, but arrived tos late. Consider- img that dis, course, they thonghi it was best to look over the affair and imvite the young married eouple home. Ac- cordingly they started on ahead to se the old folks, and instructed the young couple to fol- low at @ safedistance. They im@gined that thy old folks could be quited and reconciled. but in this they reckoned without their host. The father of the virgin bride had taken a position where he could see the young folks ¢ into the village, and the brother and tnem@ not happen to see hin. Whew. cas Piece driving up theold gentleman an Siter ® shart tassle with the bridegroom, in which bis superier size and strength gave him a cutter and forced her to go home, at the same time telling theyoung man that he might “tray- 1.’ The girl reluctant and sobbing as if her heart would break followed her father home, while the young maa n, down hearted, took for the time haing another course. The parents of each were exasperated, and tieyjointly determ. im.d breakup the marriage. Theo ascertamed through legal advice that laws of the State did not sanction marriages where the male con- tracting party was nnder eighteen and the fe- male under sixteen, and that under the sccum- stances of the present cxse the Lie coulil be sev- Ted with but little diMleulty. This they de- termined to do. Close watch was kept over the young lady, but she managed to escape, and made her way to 4 neighbor's house, where Al- bert, being sent for, no sooner appeared than she was agai torced to return to ber home. Negotiations were kept up all through Mon- day to bring about a reconciliation of the old to}s, but all to no effect. Un Tuesday morn- ing early the young bride, under charge of ber father and brother, was taken to Detroit to pe placed in a convent, there to rem ain uniil she arrived at mature age or gave up the object of her affecuons. The entreaties of the girl to re. main with ner young bueband and the course pursned towards her by her relatives have created quite a sensation throughout the village and neighborhood: and while some approve the wisdum of the pgrents in thus separating per- sons of immature age, who cannot form any idea of the resporsibilities of married lite by far the greatest majerity severely censure the oli folks and warmly sympathize withthe yortng lovers. ¢ & ic A Mysterious Incendiary. The city of Newburyport, Mass., 1s ina fever of excitement over what is, view it as coolly as you please, certainly a most remarkably phe- zomenon in crime. For. fifteen or twenty ears Newhuryport bas had incendiary. Four churches’ and smaller stractures ua- numbered, have perished by his destroying band. He takes pride in bis work, and in the system and secresy with which he does it. Every fire of the long series has been set by the same apparatus. An odd little box, seem- ingly made by the mysterious man’ him- self, is im each instance filled with kercseng oi!. saturated kindling wood, and other highly inflammable substances. A candice end is placed in this, and so lighted that in a few minutes the whole will be in flames Year after year, at irregular intervals, this httle contri- vance is employed in the work of destruction which this man is bent upon. After every con- quered fire, this littie box is fouud where the conflagration began. Yet in all tois time the men who make the boxes, who carry them about aad fire them, has successfully defied all the agencies of discovery, all the detectives employed in the imterests of justice, or for the defence of property, and there is not @ suspicion who is or what is the motive at the bottom of his acts, Uf course he must bea citizen of the place, and one no longer young. Perhaps be is one of the most prominent in the arrangements for bis own capture. His extraordinary crimes aad extra- ordinary success in alluding pursuit would make asplendid basis ior a sensation novel. His last attempt, happily an unsuccessful one, dates ck only to last week. His familiar box was on fire against a church, the destraction of whicb,a bigh wind prevailing, would have carried with it half thecity. It was discovered in time: but no traces of the men were left. The excitement over the matter naturslly grows with each repetition of the arson. alism in Massachasetts. Ritualism bas made its appearance in chusetts. and bas called forth a very i pastoral letter trom Bishop Eastburn, # pro- test and admonition. *He condemns ii¢ burn- ing of incense, the placing of lights on @* com- mupion table, the elevation of the wmenis, the making thesign of the cross, whed not di- rected by the rnbric, the wearing of Muusual vestments, surpliced choirs, intofling the prayers,and various other ritualftc mam- meries, aad saying: “1 trust that we among you forget that we area Protestan¢hurch. 1 sincerely hope that none of you deife to forget it, The very name ot our chur, inscribed. upon its constitution and printec the title- puge of our prayer-book, is, ‘The Prot- estant Episcopal Church in the Jnited States of America.” This is the name 2 which we should glory.
