with the throat, mouth and lips of woman
The birds are Miss Laura McManis' only
rivals. The young ladies are the daughters Of
n soldier who afterward entered the Methodist
ministry.
The committee on accommodations have still
long list OF good accommodations on their
books, and are constantly in receipt Of others,

month ago, and at the regulation prices.
