did not fall rapidly, and at dusk it had

flavor of salt or soda. Mr.. Simondi
made a chemical test and pronounced
it of a saline nature. On Wednesday

The Haileyites who went down to

Bellevue, speak very highly Of their
treatment. AT the outset the floor
director publicly requested the ladies'
to refrain from engaging ahead, on
account Of the visitors from HALEY

everything in their power, and with
success, to provide the outsiders with
partners; and when supper-time came,
all the Bullionites and Hailcyites
were permitted to 90 to supper first,
while the Bellevueites remained
behind.
The ball itself was very numerously
attended, and financial and social
success.
