SrK.—ln tlie Weekly Xews of Nov-m1,., 27 there is a report of the Weslevan >" : it-» held here on the ISth. ami some wild and unwarranted epithets are given re^.,i.li n „ dancing on that occasion. The socialL'athe£ ings which occur here from time to time have always l>een exemplary in even- respect. It is trae that the habit of daiieins after such meetings has become almost a standing regulation, not only wirii the young, but with many of more mature years' • and while this is indulged in moderation' and characterised, as hitherto, with faultless decorum, long may it continue, Had it wished that those who liked daiieins; should forego the pleasure on the occasion ol the Wesleyan soiree, intimation should have been given in some form before the meetine dispersed. As this was not done, a portion of the audience met as usual after the soiree and began dancing. Two or three persons then, who hold very erratic views of recreation, in an unceremonious maimer tried to stop the dancing by depriving the party of light. In return for this rudeness, they were, in a thoroughly good-natured fashion, jostled aside, and n» OHe was sorry.—l am, &c, Polka.
