Boston, Dec. 23. It may now be said that the G---r and C--m-
---rs have the last night had a sort of an assembly at
Concert-Hall. . . . [9 lines] The Ball was opened by Captain
W----n, ---a gentlemen.... . . [one line] There was indeed a
numerous and blazing appearance of men, but the ladies of
all ages and conditions so few, that the most precise
Puritan could not find it in his heart to charge said
assembly with being guilty of the crime of mixed dancing.
