TIE threatened storm predicted for the 18th
inst ais! not reach ;bi. SECTION Of country, but
heavy rain struck Us on the 18Th Which will

The ''boysn at this post have organized an
association under the name OF 1.-The Camp
Supply social Cub, - and its officers at present
are as follows: sgt. Buman, President; Ordi-
nance sgt. seally Vice President; sgt. shinn
Secretary, and sgt. Hart Treasurer. The object
of the Club is to give a series of entertainments
for mutual instruction and amusement. One
specially is inpromp;u hops, the first Of which
was giyea on Thursday evening, the sd inst,
which proved a magnificent success and gave
er.iire satisfaction Ia all Except two who were
expelled or prescribed rs improper persons and
not legible to admitlanee) who participated; il
was indeed one OF the most enjoyable entertain
mcnts that has taken place at this post for

fascinating form. But alas when he entered
the ball-room one of the committee waited upon

possess, ia the shape of either ticket or q

by the aforesaid official that his presence vas
