Summer boarders are arriving, and we
notice that lady visitors from Baltimore
! and Washington occasionally make their
appearance, remain rs short while, and then
take their departure leaving sad hearts be-
hind them. Eccentric as we are we ven

A fire which swept over the woods of
Messrs. A. s. Benville and Company, Wal
ter b. Langley and Geo. w. Drury recently
did much damage burning cord wood and

Mimosas are in bloom. These trees
when in full foliage and flower are accord
ing to our opinion unrivaled among the
loveliest children of Flora. True, those
which grow in this latitude give but a
faint idea of the beauty which these trees

The entertainment which came off on
29th June at the school house in which
Miss Smith, Of Washington, ID. c., teaches
was an enjoyable affair both TO pupils and
to their friends. The dancing was kept up
until p. m, when the musician placed
his violin into its receptacle, took his
money and big piece of cake, bowed and
departed for home. A general handshak-
ing and audible good-byes were exchanged,
baskets elbOwed, and ere the hooking bird
in the old locus, by the gate ceased to
delight US with its ever cheering and mel
odious notes, "Home, Sweet Home" was
| made welcome by the presence of children
who.are the bright accrescent flowers OF
same. Transient life is made comparative
