They reached home on the 1st in

also leave for Iowa. The boys have
had some fun and have made a good

but the base ball season with the

When Allen Holton, the imper-
senator, concluded his rendition of
the characters in David Garrick at
V. /. A. hall last Tuesday evening,
almost the entire audience, as if by
