The reception rendered to Bishop
Brewer at the residence of DR.. G. n.
Bowie last Friday evening was largely
attended and greatly appreciated by the
number OF people who were desirous of
meeting the Bishop or Of ecgthening
their acquaintance with him. The even
ing was very pleasantly passed in conver-
sation and music, 1nterspersed with ap-
petizing refreshments.
We are requested by tho recent per-
formers in among the Breakers to ex-
press their thanks for. and high appreci-
alton OF the compliment paid them in
the petition circulalated last week for a
repetition o: the play. An accumulation
Of unfavorabie circumstances will prevent
a repetition, but another play will prob
ably be produced at some early date.
Some ranch property was purchased
below Stone Station last week, presum-
ably for tho Granite company, though
nothing is known rs to their intentions
concerning the building of a smeiter at

that tho nine is to be moved to
Drumnond while the mill viii stay where

inquire how long it viii be before such
appointment is made and who will be
tho man?

numerous washouts will be repaired and
the blockades unblocke by July 4th,

Many complaints reach US from the
not go to that place via Pkllipsburg
which would get it in there two Or three
days earlier than at present. The George
town district is properly tributary to this
point, both in the matter of distance and
location, and concerted action on tho
part OF residents of the two localities
would probably result in the eEtablish-
ment OF a mail service between the two
points. In this connection lillian Ham
,nond informs Us that he will probably
within a week put On stage between
here and Georgetown.
People who complain That advertising
in The Mail costs good deal of money
will be interested in the fact that a col

Wananaker. Of Philadelphia, has never
less than ono column, day in
and day out, and sometimes two full col
umns in FIVE or six OF the Philadelphia
papers and his business extends all over
the western continent, not excepting

got there.
