Hallowe’en, though strictly speaking, a religious festival, baa become, bke iy other such festivals, grossly perverted in the images and customs to

which It is subjected.

From s local point of view we find the

yostKof Cepe May bent upon obtaining the greatest amount of fun and frolic on this occasion as possible. Washington street frpm perry to Franklin, seemed absolutely *1 yen up to the merrymakers though throughout almost the entire city group* of masqueraders were seen creating more or lam racket upon the highways, and making nail* upon their " in diagnise. One objectionable

that has oome into the celebra-

tion of this event here is rather mlecherous; we refer to the fact of throwing floor at the naseereby. Everything was taken good-naturedly, however, and

everyone had a delightful time. Hallowe'en, tbs name popularly given

to the eetof vigil of all Hallows, or feetival of AU Saints, which being the first day of November, Hallowe'en is the thirty-first day of October. In England it waa long enstomary to crack nuts, duck tor apples in water, and perform other harmless fireside revelries. While (he agate thing can be said of Scotland the Hallowe'en oesemonles of that conntry psrUkes more of superstition and

mong rustics, the form of ebsrilsoover who shall be his or her
