Signs Of Spring.

We have had enough balm in the air
the past few days to suggest symptoms
of the spring fever as well as to inspire
the hope that winter is about to vanish
This hope is likely to be dashed. 1t can't
be possible that the grounding has CON
sented to chop off any of his time, nor
is it likely that spring will actually be-
gin so far in advance of her opening as
scheduled in the almanacs. 1t is still
several days until March q, the date of
the vernal equinox, and there is still
time for winter to produce some disa-
greeable meteorological surprise and
yet make way for an early spring.

Forty Couple Present.

The third of the series of dances given
by our young people was held in this
city last evening. Metherell, Reitmey
er and Miles furnished the music About
forty couple were present including a
few visitors. This series has been well
patronized by the young people of the
town, which has greatly encouraged the
management. Each and every dance
brings more new faces ON the floor and
it is expected that the remaining two of
the series will be still better patrOnized.

of reception and entertainment, com
posed of the most prominent and
active members of the order in Cali

sojourn in this city and surburbs for

known emblems of the order, with a
plentiful profusion of stars and stripes.
The public buildings, private resi-
dences ana business blocks alike are
gayly decorated, while across many of
the principal streets are magnificent
arches. Van Ness avenue, the broad
