PERSEVERANCE FIRE COMPANY BALL.--By
reference to our advertising columns, in will be
perceived that next Thursday night the 10Th inst,
is set apart by this Company, for the purpose of
holding Ball. The Masonic Hall, on A ] street,
has been engaged and if we are permitted to
PREJUDICE this Ball, by the one they gave last
year, we can safely say, it cannot be surpassed;
for, we never saw one conducted better, got up
with greater taste, that gave more general sat
sfacon. The same care and attention is being
bestowed, to render this equally worthy the pat
ronage Of our citizens. Aside from all this, the
object is entitled to great attention. The Com
pany is in considerable debt, for their apparatus,
and the beautiful building they have erected as
their depository and place of meetings. The in
tenton in getting up the Ball is to decrease, if
possible, this debt. The most Of the apparatus,
and the building, has been paid for by individual
dated by the members. This Company, (as we'll
as all others in the City, is never backward i'll
the hour Of danger and need ; and we hope that
our citizens will come forward and patronise their
undertaking literally. Let every owner of prop
erty, whether he attends or not, purchase ticket,
and thus give token Of attesation to the disner-
ested motives Of this Ball. We know it is un-


necessary to say word to the Ladies, for their
smiles of appreciation will be with those who they
know are ever ready to fly to their rescue ; there
fore, gentlemen, if you wish to the congre-
gated beauty Of Washington, visit the Hall, and
! you will not be disappointed.
