gossip: .Ben. Halliday, who made his
fortune by running stages across the con.

here. When Mr.. Halliday was here several
years ago, he entertained very handsomely,
but then he had an unmarried daughter,
Miss Polly. who, with her dark eyes and
dashing, distingue manners, and fluent use
of French and other foreign tongues, cap
tured a foreign nobleman, and became Ba-
roness de Broussiere, while her sister, who
was really very pretty, aud fair, and sweet
looking, had previously married the French
Count de portates Both sons-in-law were
impecunious, believe. which may possibly
account for Mr.. Halliday IS frequent mone-
tary endorsements, but they brought IT,
ties into the family, and what more could
he asked or desired ?''
