ELM GROVE... There was a -- what shall I call it? A young America in the first degree, at Daniel STEPHENSON's last Friday night. All the children from the age of 10 to 14 years old gathered at Mr. STEPHENSON's and had the liveliest little dance that has been in this neighborhood for years. George SCHLIEF, a boy 12 years old, was the musician, and his musical instrument was a French harp. Some of the little fellows say they had a jolly time escorting their girls home.
