Watson, who appeared III the town few
months since and opened a dancing class
which had been fairly successful. He
has been gone now over "A week, having
missed both his class at Phenix and at
Anthony. At the place where he boarded
his clothes were found to also be missing
and everything indicated his intentions OF
not returning. although only a few days
previous to his departure he completed
arrangements for his dancing assembly.
The few unpaid bills which he left were
not such as would warrant such a hasty
vacation of the place. His scholars have
assembled for the first few evenings after
his disappearance, but as no teacher ap-
peared they dispersed again and have not
met since.

the window openings in the upper sto-

work. All the houses have fat roofs,
with a wall some four to six feet high
running around. and from p. m. until
sunset the roofs are given over 70 the
ladies exclusively. who can then walk
about and take the fresh air without
being seen by any of the opposite sex.

fountains. others playing scent or
