terra Asfocation last week at Bedford was
a very successful, and altogether very
plca'nnt affair. The craft VIA present in
full force, and fully six hundred persons--
men, women and children-must have
participated In the pleasures Of the occa-

understanding with the proprietors Of the
Springs hotel, which was soon amicably
arranged, every thing passed of, we be-
iicyc 10 the entire Fatitfaction Of every
one present. The largest number Of those
who went with the excursion stopped At
the Springs, but many found excellent az,
commodations IN the town Of Bedford,
and at the Arsndale hotel and CIyner cot
thge. In the evening the large dining
hall Of the Springs hotel was opened for
the ball and until a late hour i. was scene
Of social fe'iiyiiy that afforded much en-
joyment 70 the young people.
