Floral Hall with its heaven ofquiits-all
patches and several yards wide-with
fancy work for stars and pictures for a

traction for the women; and it this year
contained an unusual attraction in the shape
of several hundred loaves Of bread, all
baked. by different persons, from Klingler's
s5 cent, "Snow Drin' -four. Each and
every loaf there looked good and sweet, and
tender enough to melt in ones mouth, and

olives and shallots, all Of which are similar, |
possess medicinal virtue Of marked |

Insomnia. A juice made from onions is |
-egarded by the French as an excellent
