the First Run and What May Come of IT.
Our suggestion last Friday for an excursion
to Warm Springs on the U. & N. railway be-
came an accomplished fact sooner than an
ticipated. Superintendrnts Doddridge and
Blickensdsrfer arrived from Ogden Saturday
and their attention being called to the sug-
gestion by Agent Smythe Saturday evening,
they sail d" Certainly" The time Of d~par-
ture aud arrival wa. fixed, and n train Of two
coaches, baggage car, and engine designated.
The Superintsndents, probably somewhat
doubling that q considerable excursion
would be got up on such short notice, tx
tended the courtssies of the road to the cor
net band and quite = number Of citizens
The excursion rate was fixed mt 81 for the

Once at the depot, away we Mt the crowd OF
one hundred and fifty people to the hotel,
the mound, and grounds, the band discoursed

fluids, aud an hour later all were aboard

and hilarious, despite the outer cold and

Greenwich, and New Orleans ninety
degrees west. making difference Of
one hundred and twenty degrees. OF
eight hours ia time. The English
bombardment of the Notifications,
which is reported to have been open
ed this morning at seven o'clock, Al

en- O'Clock last night, New Orleans

waiting for their morning papers,
read the news of the bombardment
before their clocks marked the hour
for it to begin. Such is the phenom-
