summer NijlNovgorod attracts merchants and
caravans, buyers and sellers. from all portions
of that vast country, aud for many weeks the
town is rich with the accumulated wealth oil

stretcher to the station-house, where the
usual stimulants were applied, and after a
short time she recovered and was taken to The
hospital. There she revived still further and
gave her name, aud expressed great disap-
pointmert at having been prevented from
drowning. On being questioned as to her

father was living, aud she replied. 20, yes,
