we have had this season. The atmosphere has
been OF a mild temperature, and the sun shone
out IN spring like splendor, which. after the
long continuance of the most disapreeable
weather, was hailed with delight by all, but

of the most beautiful panoramas that eyes ever
beheld

The first " demonstration " of " strong
minded women" came off last evening at the
temperance Temple, on which occasion Mrs.
Ernestine l.. Rose, of New York, but formerly,
