A ball was given at a place called Sangy Run, in the Wyoming territory. Here is a discription of a pair of guests who formed a portion of the elite of that place and town round: “ Miss——, from Wilder’s Gulch, was elegantly attired in a handsome grosgrained buckskin dress, with armyblanket overskirt, bottom looped with buckskins strings cut bias. Her head was dressed a la Cloud, in which were twined a few- springs of sage brush, the whole secured behind with a handsome pin made with a pine splinter and a buffolo’s ear. She wore an elegant mountains catskin cap, fastened with antelope tails, secured under the chin with a rattlesnake’s skin. Her feet were encased in buckskin moccasins ornamented with heeds and soldiers’ buttons. She created a big sensation as she entered the hall hanging on the arm of Mr H. Barton, of Hallville, who was dressed in the style of locality—buckskin breeches in boots, hunting shirt of the same, ornmented with heeds and tobacco juiee, and an army belt of the latest pattern around his waist, securing a pair of sixshooters and a huge bowie knife, which set off his gallant figure to great advantage. Envious glances from both sexes followed this excellent couple round the room.—-American paper.
