The social Event or the Season.
Uneer the above caption the Asheville
CUizen refers to tbe ball given in that
place last week by several young WJ
mingtonians, in the following s'yle :
It was a graceful act upon the part of
Messrs. Preston Bridgers, S P Shotter and
Thos H McKoy, of Wilmington, in ten.
dering to tbe young ladies from Georgia,
visitors to Asbevi.le, a complimentary
G .rman at the Eagle Hotel Tuesday even
ing. Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, the commodious ball room
was filled with one of the most pleasant
crowds ev r assembled in "Asheville. It
was a recherche affair throughout, in every
appointment. The dancing continued un
til a late hour. At twelve, refreshments
were served, and greatly enjoyed. The
favors were admirably selected, and added
to tbe pleasure of the party. I
Prominent among the ladi- 8 upon the
fl.oc were MUs s Dun'ap, VUson. Nutting
and Greer, ot Georgia ; A'.drich anl l'ick
en, of South Carolina ; Ellis,1 cf New
bern ; Myers, of Chailotte ; Breaux, Le
Sassier and Kennedy, of New Orleans ;
Mrs J O Martin and Misses Penniman, or
Asheville ; Miss Needles, of I hlladelphia.
Miss Rufflo, of Hillsboro. Tbe costumes
were elegant, and of course all were most
charming hi all respects.
Mr McKoy led the dance and proved
himself, as in all his efforts, au fait.

Death of Mr. McLaughlin
It is with deep regret that we feal call
ed upon here to chronicle the death of
Mr. Wm; McLaughlin, a young gentle
man well and favorably known in this
city and surrounding; country. On Sat
urday evening while in a moment of des
pair and depression he drank nearly two
ounces of laudanum and refused to have
antidotes aJministered as long as he was
conscious.. Doctors Wood, Walker and
B urban k labored unceasingly from tbe
time they were called in until this morn
ing at 4 o'clock, when the unfortunate
young man gisped .his last breath and ex
pired. Yesterday afternoon the deceased
regained his consciousness for a few mil
utes when there was a change for the
worse in his condition. He had been in
very poor health for the past two years
which culminated a few months ago In a
severe attack of typhoid fever which left
him in.adepreseed state of mind besides
leaving his nervous system completely
shattered He was naturally a gentleman
of buoyant disposition and of genial and
honorable impulses. His last act was
committed, we are compelled to believe,
in a moment when the mind and senses
i
were clouded and unsettled, the result of
a long and protracted fever. The funeral
services' took placo ai4 o'clock this after,
noon. The remains were escorted to Oak
dale Cemetery by the Knights of Pythias
of which order he was a member.

A Word to our Keadsrt.
When you read of a remedj that will
cure all diseases beware of it; but when
ycu read of a pure vegetable ; compound
which claims to cure only certain parts of
the body, and furnishes high proof that
it does this, you can safely try it and
with tbe assurance that it will help you.
Tbif is just what Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure does. It cures all troub
lee of the lower portion of the body and
none others. It will not help tbe tooth
ache, ear-ache nor' consumption bat it
will put your body la a vigorous and
healthy state where you can enjoy life and
appreciate its good things Try it.
