Yesterday morning we received infor-
nation to the effect that large quantity
of blasting powder was placed in the
open air within short distance of our
office Hardly believing that such could
be the case, we fastened to the spot indi-
Gated and there found tbirty-two kegs,
containing in all 800 pounds o: Califor-
MIA blasting powder The head of one
of the kegs was broken in, and the bung
of another was out; but with these eX-
ceptons all the kegs seemed to be whole
and sound. The powder has, we under
stand, been on the ground, about a hun
dred yards northeast of the RECORD es-
tablishment for some time past, and We
are told that the rising generation Of
town hoodlums are in the habit of taking
the powder, and, by making artistic fig
ures with it, on the ground, producing
novel and beautiful effects in fireworks.
This powder is certainly in a position
which endangers the lives and property
of great many people, as there are sew
eral houses within seventy-ive yards of
it II the powder is not good for blast
ing why not destroy it; but if it is good,
its condition will certainly not be bet
tered by being LETT exposed to the
| weather.

MEs. - Dear Madam: Your
letter came duly to hand. Twas pleased
to hear from you, and hope you are well.
Have been looking around quite indus
trlously for the "old man who rode up
with you on the cars, and so far my
hbors have not been rewarded. But
entertain hopes of yet meeting that VEN
cradle individual. Have handed your
epistla to several ''old gentlemen, but
some of them had never been to San
Francisco on the cars, and others didn't
own lodging houses. Still l am not dis
eouraged-not much, at least; my pa
hence and perseverance are great. Pos
slbly the 'old gentleman " has not yet
reached this point, and will be along by
and by. "Old men are not so fast !"
as young men. Please write to me and
tell me what to do. Have patience,
madam; patience is one of the Christian
virtues, and when you write to Post
master for information always send a
stamp to pay return postage.

was comparatively wellnigh cleared when
We came. We noticed, however. among
many other articles, very pretty bed

pretty coverlet, etc, worked by Miss
r. Buck. A pretty cradle, presented by
Miss G. Coffee, was also worthy of note
This table was attended by Mrs. Halpin
and Mrs. Hereford.
The next object which attracted our
attention was the ice-cream table, where
the delicious cream, made cooler and
sweeter by the hands that served it, was
presided over by Mrs. Connerton and
Miss Jacobs.
In the center OF the room was Il rustic
arbor, containing a messy well. Here
Mrs. Curtis and Miss Alba Bib gave to
thirsty travellers a smile and glass of
lemonade, reminding one of "Rebecca

Further down we found Mrs Foster
