their departure this morning, to make
their future home in Santa Clara coun-
ty, California, where Mr.. Stevens has
for some years past been the owner of
fine properties, at Ben Lomond, which
they had contemplated occupying long

sold all his interests here, except his
portion of the Rich Gulch company's
mining property, of which he still re-
tains the management, and his resi-

for three or four years spent in ex-

ma, this place has been their home.
Their departure from here is regretted
by hosts of friends, who all the same,

tied all points Of interest after the ses-
sion of the grand chapter. The meet

attention received was so pleasant,
that it was with many regrets that |
started on my homeward journey. My
sojourn at HALEY among old friends
will always be one of the pleasant mem
cries of my life. Our session was one
of harmony and much good work was
accomplished for the benefit of the
order. The reception and banquet
rendered us was perfect in every detail
and long to be remembered. The town
of HALEY is beautifully situated, and
one of the attractions is its opera
house, recently completed, which would
be credit to town of double the size
of Haley, which | am told is about
