WATER CELEERATION.-A water celebration
oi' u novel character took place in San Francis

gram to the Boston journal -
The bottle OF water taken from the Atlantic
at Boston was uncorked by Hon. Alexander H.
Rice, the President Of the Boston party, and
one halt It's contents poured into the Pacific
Ocean, making. as Dir. Rice said, "a literal
blending of the waters Of the two oceans, which
should flow on together until there shall be no
moro sea, and sym5oizing union OF the
people OF America in ties Of interest and broth
erhOod which shall continue until the last wave
OF time shall break upon the eternal shore"
The space in the bottle was then filled with
water from the Pacific Ocean, and its contents
will be taken home by the Bostonans as the
mingled clements OF the Atlantic and the
Pacific.
The party then formed circle on the veran-
dab OF the Cliff House, a Californian ana
Bostouian alternating, and the bottle of ming.

proprietors "opening their hospitablc doors, .
&c. Why, it is all simple business transac-

your board! The Virginia Springs, however,
are, in all respects, the best in the country
for health, comfort, and pleasure. To all who
are able to pay-or to spare the time anc

delightful this summer. There will be Large
