The Pittsburgers were brought over by Mr.. Watt,
ticket agent, and he IL . host In himself Phila-
delphia was fortunate 10 have Mr.. q. W. Boyd,
general ticket agent. as their escort, and too
much cannot be said In his praise. His kindnsss
was not confined 20 bis own party, but 10 each
and every one, and from all We could see and hear
he won himseifhosts offriends Jas. II. Wood, gon.

hind leg, which led 10 u magnificent pagoda built
