Notwithstauding tho cares attend mg =
busy life, the trou bles resultiug fFofn
business advetaitica, and the heavy

early evening was spent in social cou-
vcrsation in the spaclous pAYlors OF the
Morton house. Many had not met since
the event one year ago aud tho silvery
haired matrons greeted each othc!
with the utmost frieudlihess and
cordiahty. Tho hard handed son
of toll aud tho merchant, the retlre0
capitalist and the official discarded all
subjects pertaining TO their business
and mingled together for visit OF the
pioneer character. Contrary to custom

spent in renewing old acquaintance
and forming new ones. Az $50 the
