xne Marnea iiaay tteveng. , . . ; ..ii .i -jii:. There- is some rare enort eve rr among the most qulet.of our folks whjp .SK'pehding their suuimer months at the various seasid resorts. VYe heard the particulars ot quite an exciting affair got op a few kys) ago, at, that most ouiet and staid of all the places on) the coast, Mississippi City, whicl) was highly creditable to the parties, arid quite effective in its operations, It aopeam'thata'i a Dr.Te- garden's there is A considerable., number, of married ladies, all of therryqung and agree agreeable; - able; agreeable; and most of them quite pretty. n Their, uusosnuB, poor, uiuoriunaie vituroa toirane, and abject worshippersof Mammon, are kept in town, behind their counters, during the week, leaviue tneir.

These young 'gentlemen. sided by a few old. bachelors, have it in their nower to render themselves quite comulais ant to ladies bereft of their husbands, but the eraceless rogues, tna spirit of reckless dis regard of all the claims of gallantry and auuee oi cuivairy , mstcuu ui icuueriiigiiicm- selves agreeable to tne ladies, persist in cer tain neroarun bpuiui,ucuis uiBiui-buooiiui', rolling tenpinsv playing billiards, and last .i i. i i . i : n.. . tl. i inuuKU uoi icobi, uuitujk, uumct. 1.110 m- dies. iu8tlv indienanvst this shameful aban donment, and uttei degradation, determined in ' 4k. ilnnnmMl ' l.nrf.ni. tt t V. n bU D11CDI iUO UVnuU ,UUU1.J Ul muslin-shirted youths. by measures of a ue cided and energetic character. -The occasion tor tbe execution pi their plan presented it self, when on ihe striking up of the band, on a certain evening, not a single gentleman could be found to take part in the giddy ncer k ' Pon honor it's tod warm,' I snail faint,' protested one " It is too enemtine " ure- ed another. "I would not survive the d- d infliction;" and so they all excusid themselves. By and by it was observed bv tbe indignant married, ladies, that . one by one, the luxuriant youths slunk quietly awav until all bad disappeared." Though-they tried to be secret, they were not unobserved. By various and devious, paths, their, steps were all directed to a mysterious house some distance trom the main building. When they were an gone, the ladies met and arranged their plans. . A little nee.ro was nuntea upwno piayen tne most oeiicii-us dis discord - cord discord upon a gourd fiddle; an old cracked trumpet was found, through which anothe negro declared he could blow a blast equal to tbatef Gabriel.,. ..Then all. the .old tin nans in the villaee were collected and all th negro children that could be spared to beat them. ' Several ot them were' armed with respectable sized porkers, whose : tails they were ordered to twist at certain command. Tbus prepared, the ladies accompanied , bv their musical assistants, and each one bear ing in her hand a comb covered with paper, f another musical instrument of rare excel lence,) proceeded to tbe mysterious building whither the young men had previously di directed - rected directed their steps. 1 Arrived here they form formed - ed formed themselves in a circle around the- house. Tbe silence whicb seemed to prevail around and within the bouse, was only broken now and then by tbe jingle of silver, raps, as it were on the table, and exclamations of "I go four better;" " I call you," i4 Three Aces and a , Jack," and similar inlerjectional fibroses proceeding from, within the dwel-ing- ' '. ' ; ''" '! ; 1 In the midst .of this awful silence, sud denly, like a clap of thunder, there , broke upon the astonished ears of the assembled youths within the house, a most violent and tremendous noise 1 which appeared to em embrace - brace embrace all the discordant notes that either nature or srt could produce.' There was tbe ear-piercing squeak of a half dozen pigs in eony, taerewas tne teeth-scraping blast of a huge . cracked, horn, there , was the deafuing ding, dong. dang, of numerous tin pans mingled witn Which, In delightful concord, were the Screams of innumerable combs, and the bones grinding, saw-sharp- sning, scratching notes of a . gourd fiddle. Such a blast, we undertake to say. was never equalled by Capt. Rice's baod.in its palmiest days. As may be imagined, this terrific vis visitation - itation visitation oi discord produced the greatest alarm and confusion among the occupants of the bouse; they rushed to the door and win dows, but what was their astonishment to find the house surrounded by a cordon of ladies, armed with broomsticks, and other wet-like instruments. ' They called for quar quarter, - ter, quarter, but their voices were only as that of the boatswain's whistle in the hurricane.
