New Year's Ball.- A new year's ball will be given at the Johnstown Center House, Wednesday evening, New Years night. For a long time this has been one of the established ceremonies of New Years, until a first rate dance is expected at "the center" as regularily as New Years Day comes around. Mr. Young, the proprietor of the house, will have a large and pleasant party.
Cavalry Horses.- The Chicago Journal says that Capt. Porter, assistant quartermaster, has opened the bids to furnish 1,000 horses for Daniels' cavalry regiment at Kenosha. Rhere were a large number of bids, ranging as high as $110. Most of them were offered to take the contract at $95. The bid of Z. G. Sherman, for $81.75 was founf to be the lowest and thecontract was let accordingly.
If horses can be furnished for $81.75 why in the world does the Government allow its agents to pay as high as $105 to $110.
Turkey Shooting.- G. Fritz proposes an entertainment at his saloon for New Years, in the shape of a turkey shoot, using his air gun for the weapon.
