They started shortly after six o'clock, and had a
delightful trip down, reaching the Cove shortly after
seven. borne rambled on the beach, others up through
the village, and some visited the Oove Hotel, outside
which Mr. Eliddoos's band played. After an hour
agreeably spent on shore, they returned to the steamer
and on the voyage beck, Bro. Hovey swig and clamed,
greatly to the amusement of the brethren and sisters.
The return trip was most enjoyable, and the party

full value for their money, in this very charming trip.

boys were called, one of whom did not see any stones

replied that he had to go to his work.—Dr. Drew:
Perhaps you thought, as a glider, themore there were
brokers, the bigger the job.—Mrs. Cook told how
defendant had offered her As. out of his money box,
when she replied—" If you had come to me before we
