It has no supplying streams but is sinp.y sLpp.i.u by the ever purLng stre-ns of mid earth

William Smith and Horace D. Curtis are hereby appointed committee to or ganize said party. Ii they fail, tueir wives will not It is especially desired to visit the Gunnery at its camp, at Point Beautiful. Mir.

pied by Mr.. Thos. MeGrevey, and insured in

Although the department was hard at work
trying to check the element, which threatened
the destruction ofsthe entire block, the flames
