Hunt, were expected to arrive on the train last evening. Ned. Burton, Superintendent of the San Francisco Mint, returned ’ home this week from a visit to Colorado. Mrs. Lawrence, mother of W. D.

O'Donnell, whe was injured by being thrown from a horse, is able to be about his house. : Jadge Caldwell of the Superior Court has returned from his visit to _ San Francisco. Mr. Calkins of the TRANscRIPT left yesterday noon for San Francisco on business. He was accompan™ ied by his wife and little girl who will remain at the Bay a few weeks to visit friends, J. W. Robinson, who recently sold _ his horseshoeing establishment in this city. and went to.San Francisco to engage ‘in business, returned here night before last, ‘and will make his future home among us. As has often been said, ‘‘There’s no place like Nevada City.” More hight Needed. It has been suggested, and very sensibly, that a lamp should be put up at the corner of Winter and York streets, near Dr. Charles’ residence. That is now one of the darkest parts of town, the whole rear portion of the County Jail being shrouded in oblivion after nightfall. The city will doubtless furnish the gas if a lamp were erected there. It seems to us that as a precautionary weasure, if for no other reason, the county through its Supervisors should furnish the lamp and post. Only Three Cases. The report having been freely’ ciréulated that there were a great many cases of scarlet fever in this city, we have taken some little pains to ascertain the truth of such report. So far as we cah learn there are only three cases ia the city, and the patients have nearly recovered. EEE Mouse tor Sale A comfortable dwelling house situated near the depot is offered for sale.

The Virginia City Enterprise entreats them to desist from further homilies of the kind, and says: These Eastern editors talk as if mining was something that ha! never been done antil within the past few years, whereas, it is an industry so old that no one can tell when its pursuit was first commenced. Again, there are many kinds of mining. There is iron mining, coal mining, lead mining, copper miniag, gold mining, silver mining and many other kinds of mining. 3 Ever since maukind began to rise above the mere animal, or savage state, there has been mining, and there.always will be mining, so long as there is anything between the cir. cumference and center of the earth }worth mining. In their mind’s eye the writers’ tpon the “legitimacy” of mining perhaps draw a line somewhere between the common and precious metals. What they wish to.ask is, probably: ‘Is mining for precious metals a legitimate business?” To ask whether to dig gold and silver from the bowels of the earth is legitimate, is just as silly as to ask whether it is legitimate to dig iron, coal and'copper. As an industry, mining ‘is just as legitimate. as agriculture or any other of the industries of the human race, and it will soon be the leading industry in the greater part of the territory of the United Stutes, : The Pine Nut Crop. The Transceiver ‘devil’ informs us that the soft shell pine nut crop in this vicinity is nearly ready for harvest, and as the rising generation keep well posted on such things we suppose his assertion is tobe depended upon. The remnants of the once numerous Diggers will shortly begin laying in their winter's supply. The hard shell nuts will hot be ready to gather much before Christmas. They will come along just in time so that the depleted stock of soft shells will not leave the noble red men provisionally stranded. The manzanita berries this season will be unusual. ly large, according to Chief Jim, and the time for plucking it has about arrived. Plenty of mazanita berries means plenty of manzanita flour and therefore the larders at Campooda will not be short of material for bread and soup. Grasshopper pie is a rare dish out there, and the failure of the supply this season has caused consternation among the dusky epicures who cannot even by sending to Sierra Valley get any. Surprise Party. Union: Mr. John Sanders, who for more than twenty two years has been a respected citizen of Grass Valley, having closed out business here, and being about to remove to San Francisco, his friends determin, ed to give himself and family the compliment of a surprise party, and on Monday evening they fairly took possession of his hospitable home, and proceeded to pass a very pleasant evening inthe usual manner of social parties. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Nathan, Mr. and Mrs, J. Heyman, Mr. and Mrs. D. Corwin, Mr. and Mrs. F, Bamberger, Mr. and Mrs. I. Haas, Mrs. G. Hamilton, Mrs. Dr. Jones, Mrs. 8S. Novitzky, Mrs. W. Bennett, Mrs. J. Bennett, Mrs. A. Berg, Mrs. B. Nathan, Mrs, J. Mansau, Mrs. B. Gad and daughter, Mrs. M. Cohn and daughter, Mr. W. Goldberg and daughter, Miss Eliza Smith, Miss Emma Stokes, Miss May Novitzky, Miss Ray Novitzky, Miss Clara Muncey, Mrs. K. Casper, Nevada City, Mrs. .H. Bremer, San Francisco, J. Doychert, San Francisco, J. Bamberger, J. Weissbein and H. Stein. The party did nét break up until a late hour, and the good words ‘of the guests at parting with Mr. and Mrs. Sanders and family gave them the assurance that in the departure they were soon to make for their new home they were leaving be hind many sincere friends. rt New Postal Notes. The Money Order Department of the Postoffice will begin to issue the new postal note. on Monday next. They will only be issued for sums under five dollars, and cost only 3 cents each. They are payable to any one whe presents them, either to the person to whom they are originally sent, to those whom they may be given, or to the sender himself. The person who obtains the money on them has {fo sign his name, but no identification is required or questions asked. Grand Encampment. The Grand Eccar pment, I. O. O. ¥, will meet in San Francisco in October. At the regular meeting of Mistletoe Encampment, “No. 47, of this city, A. R. Lord, was duly elected as a delegate to that body. Exhibition Drill and Sbiree, The Encampment of Odd Fellows of Grass Valley contemplate giving a grand exhibition drill and soiree in a few weeks, at Reform Hall. They will be assisted by the uniformed He Got Away, Yesterday morning Schmidt the tailor saw a young man headed for the railroad depot, valise in hand, aud asked him where he was going i. ‘Oregon. ~Ta-ta,” said the young man hurrying on. When he had reached the middle ofthe next block, it occurred to Sehmidt that the departing youth had been among his patrons and still owed him $13.50, He snatched his hat and started on the trail. The debtor saw him coming and climbed over Sacranfentu street hill at a gait that would make Uncle Joe Perrin’s heart turn green with envy. He wheeled around the windward corner of the depot, and hiding himself behind a pile of freight waited til] the train was ready to start and then jumping aboard escaped in safety. Schmidt, who hunted all through the cars and under the seate before train pulled out, and didn’t see the object of his search on the rear platform till the ranaway and cars and all had an eighth of a mile the start of him, says that next to getting his $13.50 there’s nothing he could enjoy miore than seeing the: passenger for Oregon scramble up the Sacramento street grade at the rate he did. Did Not Know the Place. An old resident of Piety Hill, after an absence of many years, re: turned to this city a few days since, and visited his old quarters. He says that part of the city has grown entirely out of his recollection, Instead of seeing the seven or eight houses that were scattered over the hill, he finds the houses as thick as they are in any other part of the town. Allthe new houses in that section have been. built during the past two years, a great mauy having been erected this season, and a number of more are uow in contemplation. A few years ago land on Piety Hill could be purchased’ at a very low figure, but now it commands a good price, ttl Personals. We copy the following from the San Francisco Chronicle : George Hearst left on Friday for Mariposa county in pursuance of maning interests. : Mrs. Dr. Hunt of Nevada City and her daughter of Sacrament», who have been visiting friends in this city, left for Sacramento, on Saturday, where they will be the guests of Mrs. Judge McFarland. Mr. and Mrs.’ Robert McMurray of Nevada have been passing the last three weeks in this city. Mrs, Edwin Merrifield of Nevada was the guest of Mrs. Thomas during the week, Judge Searls and wife of Nevada and their two sons.will receive their friends at the Lick House for the next two weeks, ~~ Been Doing Some Figuring. A gentleman of this city, who did not attend the Conc'av:, has been doing a little figuring on the average cost to each menber of the Knights Templar who went from this city. There were seventy-six registered at their headquarters in San Francisco,and the geatleman says it is safe to say the average expense to each was $25), or a grand total of $19,000 for a ten day’s good time. ———_____»-«oe Bit by a Dog. Tidings: While in San Francisco, Charley, sonof A. D. West, was severely bitten by a dog. The dog was a friendly one and attem pted to fight another canine, when Charley attempted to separate them, when the dog turned and bit the boy through the knee. The bite is very painful, and makes the young lad walk lame. Central Pacific Assessmeut. County Clerk Beatty has received from the Clerk of the Stete Board of Equalization the assessment of the Central Pacific Railroad Company. Nevada county’s proportion is $904,155, there being 30} miles in this county. Also the Ncivaia County Narrow Gauge Railroad assessment. The whole ptgerty is assessed at $150,000. Nevada county’s proportion of thia is $125,200. : The Chfidren are Kicking. The public schools of this city were reopened. two vee%s earlier than usual this year. A report was circulated among the chillren that the reason for this was on account of dismissing the schools nex: week to allow them to atiend th: District Fair at Grass Valley. It is needless to say the rumor was u :founded, bat nevertheless the children are mad about it. : Sight Restored.

Judge Blakey fined him $40, battalion of this city. .mits them to shoot, the birds will ‘have been changed, The experience Mineral Exhibition at the Fatr. , Union: The coming District Fair, which opens in Grass Valley on next Tuesday, will be the first effort of the kind ever made in this county, and is intended particularly to be an exhibit of the resources of the moun; tain regions in the way of cultivated productions, the handiwork of the shop and house, or the enterprise of stock men in rearing of good strains of horses, cattle and other live stock, That Nevada and the other counties comprising the district can make a very creditable display in these departments there is abundant evidence,and we may hope there may be a showing in these respects which we will have occasion to be proud, but there is one character of exhibition in which Nevada county should excel, and that is ina display of minerals, It is conceded that the county ranks foremost in the State in mineral wealth, particularly in gold bearing ores and earths, as here quartz mining has its greatest and-beat development, and deep y-ravel mining is carried on a scale of great magnitude. Besides the gold bearing ores and cement, copper ore is found in abundance and worked to a profit, and there is iron ore in abundance, evidences of cinnibar, and clays of variety and value. From all these a mineral display could be made up for the Fair that would be of great value and interest, and would give moré interest and be a great attraction than any other feature. Particular effort therefore should be madein having a choice and superior collection, not only as. information and instruction to our own people but the visitors from abroad who may favor us with their presence. The mining companies of the. county owe it for the benefit of the business in which they are engaged, and rindividuals who have taken pains, to collect and arrange cabinets of the valuable ores of the county and district, should assist in making the mineral exhibition one worthy of the occasion, and as an earnest of their desire to bring the local mineral resources into prominent and deserving notice, For Sportsmen. A correspondent writing from Sierra county says: Snipe s hooting is excellent in Sierra Valley just now. Birds are plentiful, fat and fairly grown, though until the grass is all cut large bays cannot be made without the aid of good dogs. Doe. H, and Captain B. had a fine day’s sport last week bagging about fifty birds without the aid of a dog. S veral sportsmen from Nevada county have been shooting the past few days, and made fair bags. Ducks are getting scarce in*the valley. The Indians cleaned them pretty well out before they could fly. Quail are more abundant than for many years, and most of the coveys willl be large enouga to kill by the Ist of September, at which time, by common consent, the shooting of quail and grouse will begin, sportsmen arguing that, if they wait until the new law perall be gone, as quail only come to the valley te breed, all leaving before the Ist of October for the foothills, The law for this section should not of thirty years convinces us that for Plumas and Sierra counties the opening of the season should be September Ist. Deer are reported plentiful, but hard to-get at, owing to the heavy underbrush. Richard Wade killed two fine bucks the other morning near Gold Lake, and a small bear a few days after near the same place. SE RE ak OA aS Just Received An invoice of Boys’ Clothing which will be sold at low prices, C. A. Barret, 46 Broad St. ae >> ABOUT TEN FEET HIGH. Yardstick and the Other Boarders Trust Not the Tale—Certain Deductions. ‘How high was that? Just read that again,” sang out young Yardstiek, one of our boarders, who is in the dry-goods line, to Professor Seedling who sometimes read aloud a par: agraph, after supper. The Professor complied, lending the beauty of his voice to the following statement: “In the year 1773° a Dutchman named Roggewein discovered Easter Island, and reported that the men of that island measured twelve feet in height, although the women were commonly not above ‘ten or eleven feet high.” ‘*Well,” said young Yardstick, ‘‘in my opinion he was a Flying Dutchman and a lying Dutchman,” and the other boarders agreed with him. While nobody desires American ladies to be giants, all would be delighted to see them well and strong. Yet a thousand causes combine to keep a large proportion miserable. Too much confinement in heated rooms, or-in the same house, multiplied domestic and family worries, want of sleep, little illnesses hard to describe, but peculiar to their sex— are the wolfish pack that drive the women ‘‘half out of their Leads,” Miss M. A. Packard, of No. 323 Ewen street, Brooklyn, N. Y., confesses to have suffered from nameless phy@ical disarrangements so induced, and says: ‘PARKER’s GINGER Tonic is my strength and shield. It cured my dyspepsia and for those general ills of which women complain . so much, the Tonic is better than all things else, 1 have suffered for years in this way, and speak from experience. A valuablé@feature to womén is its delicious taste.” PakkeEr’s GINGER Tonic is not an essence of ginger, but a highly scientitic combination of the best vegetable curative agents known to tlie medical profession. Physicians endorse it, and no wife or mother should be without it. Prices 50 cents and $1 a bottle. Your druggist keeps tothe tickets held by the occupants, pate ei ene we Tickets fot the Fatr. Grass Valley Union : Membership tickets for the Fair are placed at three dollars only, and such a ticket wife and all their minor children, to all the exhibitions at the Park and at the Pavilion, (excepting when the Annual Ball may be glven) during the whole time of the Fair and, also without any extra charge, allows such member to place any animal or article of production or mauufacture on exhibition in competition for premiuins, A premium gained will. very often return the cost of the ticket and sometimes more. The object in placing these ticketg at so low a price is to induce families to take a personal interest in the fair, and to bring in all kinds of exhibitions. The wife can use this ticket, and bring the family of children; or one of the elder children may have it in charge and bring »the remainder, ‘Vhey must come in a body together, to prevent confusion and trouble, and no others than the wife and chiidren of the member will be admitted on such a ticket, : Season tickets, price three dollars will admit the gentleman named on it, with any one lady whom ‘he chooses to bring with him, to Park and Pavilion, as above stated—not transferable.

The owners of all passenger vehicles plying regularly to the Park, and unloading inside the gate must take a membership ticket. Buggies entering the Park will obtain a half-price ticket, twenty-five cents, in addition Disturbing the Peace. Theresa Varney, of Moore’s Flat, and F, Vosshans, were arrested on Tuesday evening last, by officer Marker, on a charge of disturbing the peace. Vosshans was tried last evening before Judge Blakey.

The bitter thoughts of war time “have long ceased to trouble us. The mucharm to,those who heard it, and the patriotic songs sung at home will long have a place among the lyrics of the rescued nation. “War Songs” is a good looking book of 96 octavo pages. As we Open at random, we come across: “Brave boys are they, Gone at their country’s call;” and so they were brave boys. “Rally round the Flag” is there, of course, as'is Root’s “Battle Cry of Freedom.” “We are coming, Father Abraham, 800,000 strong,” r@minds us of the days of threatened disaster,and the grand response of the people to the cry of help, “Just before the Battle Mother,” recalls many a touching memor y as does “Weeping, sad and lonely.” Of course, ‘‘Glory Hallelujah’ has to be shouted, and ‘Old Shady” and his deep dyed brothers have to be heard, as they always will be, (a mile or two !) “Marching thro’ Georgia,” and “Tramp, tramp, tramp,” are well known to the boys. The older patriotic tunes are not forgotten, and there isa full supply’ of the tender and consoling hymns that belong to memorial and funeral occasions, There are also a few new tunes that will make hours by the camp fire pass pleasantly.

As an industry, mining ‘is just as legitimate. as agriculture or any other of the industries of the human race, and it will soon be the leading industry in the greater part of the territory of the United Stutes, : The Pine Nut Crop. The Transceiver ‘devil’ informs us that the soft shell pine nut crop in this vicinity is nearly ready for harvest, and as the rising generation keep well posted on such things we suppose his assertion is tobe depended upon. The remnants of the once numerous Diggers will shortly begin laying in their winter's supply. The hard shell nuts will hot be ready to gather much before Christmas. They will come along just in time so that the depleted stock of soft shells will not leave the noble red men provisionally stranded. The manzanita berries this season will be unusual. ly large, according to Chief Jim, and the time for plucking it has about arrived. Plenty of mazanita berries means plenty of manzanita flour and therefore the larders at Campooda will not be short of material for bread and soup. Grasshopper pie is a rare dish out there, and the failure of the supply this season has caused consternation among the dusky epicures who cannot even by sending to Sierra Valley get any. Surprise Party. Union: Mr. John Sanders, who for more than twenty two years has been a respected citizen of Grass Valley, having closed out business here, and being about to remove to San Francisco, his friends determin, ed to give himself and family the compliment of a surprise party, and on Monday evening they fairly took possession of his hospitable home, and proceeded to pass a very pleasant evening inthe usual manner of social parties. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Nathan, Mr. and Mrs, J. Heyman, Mr. and Mrs. D. Corwin, Mr. and Mrs. F, Bamberger, Mr. and Mrs. I. Haas, Mrs. G. Hamilton, Mrs. Dr. Jones, Mrs. 8S.

Doychert, San Francisco, J. Bamberger, J. Weissbein and H. Stein. The party did nét break up until a late hour, and the good words ‘of the guests at parting with Mr. and Mrs. Sanders and family gave them the assurance that in the departure they were soon to make for their new home they were leaving be hind many sincere friends. rt New Postal Notes.

Exhibition Drill and Sbiree, The Encampment of Odd Fellows of Grass Valley contemplate giving a grand exhibition drill and soiree in a few weeks, at Reform Hall. They will be assisted by the uniformed He Got Away, Yesterday morning Schmidt the tailor saw a young man headed for the railroad depot, valise in hand, aud asked him where he was going i. ‘Oregon. ~Ta-ta,” said the young man hurrying on. When he had reached the middle ofthe next block, it occurred to Sehmidt that the departing youth had been among his patrons and still owed him $13.50, He snatched his hat and started on the trail. The debtor saw him coming and climbed over Sacranfentu street hill at a gait that would make Uncle Joe Perrin’s heart turn green with envy. He wheeled around the windward corner of the depot, and hiding himself behind a pile of freight waited til] the train was ready to start and then jumping aboard escaped in safety. Schmidt, who hunted all through the cars and under the seate before train pulled out, and didn’t see the object of his search on the rear platform till the ranaway and cars and all had an eighth of a mile the start of him, says that next to getting his $13.50 there’s nothing he could enjoy miore than seeing the: passenger for Oregon scramble up the Sacramento street grade at the rate he did. Did Not Know the Place. An old resident of Piety Hill, after an absence of many years, re: turned to this city a few days since, and visited his old quarters. He says that part of the city has grown entirely out of his recollection, Instead of seeing the seven or eight houses that were scattered over the hill, he finds the houses as thick as they are in any other part of the town. Allthe new houses in that section have been. built during the past two years, a great mauy having been erected this season, and a number of more are uow in contemplation. A few years ago land on Piety Hill could be purchased’ at a very low figure, but now it commands a good price, ttl Personals. We copy the following from the San Francisco Chronicle : George Hearst left on Friday for Mariposa county in pursuance of maning interests. : Mrs. Dr. Hunt of Nevada City and her daughter of Sacrament», who have been visiting friends in this city, left for Sacramento, on Saturday, where they will be the guests of Mrs. Judge McFarland.

A gentleman of this city, who did not attend the Conc'av:, has been doing a little figuring on the average cost to each menber of the Knights Templar who went from this city. There were seventy-six registered at their headquarters in San Francisco,and the geatleman says it is safe to say the average expense to each was $25), or a grand total of $19,000 for a ten day’s good time. ———_____»-«oe Bit by a Dog. Tidings: While in San Francisco, Charley, sonof A. D. West, was severely bitten by a dog. The dog was a friendly one and attem pted to fight another canine, when Charley attempted to separate them, when the dog turned and bit the boy through the knee. The bite is very painful, and makes the young lad walk lame. Central Pacific Assessmeut. County Clerk Beatty has received from the Clerk of the Stete Board of Equalization the assessment of the Central Pacific Railroad Company. Nevada county’s proportion is $904,155, there being 30} miles in this county. Also the Ncivaia County Narrow Gauge Railroad assessment. The whole ptgerty is assessed at $150,000. Nevada county’s proportion of thia is $125,200. : The Chfidren are Kicking. The public schools of this city were reopened. two vee%s earlier than usual this year.

Besides the gold bearing ores and cement, copper ore is found in abundance and worked to a profit, and there is iron ore in abundance, evidences of cinnibar, and clays of variety and value. From all these a mineral display could be made up for the Fair that would be of great value and interest, and would give moré interest and be a great attraction than any other feature. Particular effort therefore should be madein having a choice and superior collection, not only as. information and instruction to our own people but the visitors from abroad who may favor us with their presence. The mining companies of the. county owe it for the benefit of the business in which they are engaged, and rindividuals who have taken pains, to collect and arrange cabinets of the valuable ores of the county and district, should assist in making the mineral exhibition one worthy of the occasion, and as an earnest of their desire to bring the local mineral resources into prominent and deserving notice, For Sportsmen. A correspondent writing from Sierra county says: Snipe s hooting is excellent in Sierra Valley just now. Birds are plentiful, fat and fairly grown, though until the grass is all cut large bays cannot be made without the aid of good dogs. Doe. H, and Captain B. had a fine day’s sport last week bagging about fifty birds without the aid of a dog. S veral sportsmen from Nevada county have been shooting the past few days, and made fair bags. Ducks are getting scarce in*the valley. The Indians cleaned them pretty well out before they could fly. Quail are more abundant than for many years, and most of the coveys willl be large enouga to kill by the Ist of September, at which time, by common consent, the shooting of quail and grouse will begin, sportsmen arguing that, if they wait until the new law perall be gone, as quail only come to the valley te breed, all leaving before the Ist of October for the foothills, The law for this section should not of thirty years convinces us that for Plumas and Sierra counties the opening of the season should be September Ist. Deer are reported plentiful, but hard to-get at, owing to the heavy underbrush. Richard Wade killed two fine bucks the other morning near Gold Lake, and a small bear a few days after near the same place. SE RE ak OA aS Just Received An invoice of Boys’ Clothing which will be sold at low prices, C. A. Barret, 46 Broad St. ae >> ABOUT TEN FEET HIGH. Yardstick and the Other Boarders Trust Not the Tale—Certain Deductions. ‘How high was that? Just read that again,” sang out young Yardstiek, one of our boarders, who is in the dry-goods line, to Professor Seedling who sometimes read aloud a par: agraph, after supper. The Professor complied, lending the beauty of his voice to the following statement: “In the year 1773° a Dutchman named Roggewein discovered Easter Island, and reported that the men of that island measured twelve feet in height, although the women were commonly not above ‘ten or eleven feet high.” ‘*Well,” said young Yardstick, ‘‘in my opinion he was a Flying Dutchman and a lying Dutchman,” and the other boarders agreed with him. While nobody desires American ladies to be giants, all would be delighted to see them well and strong. Yet a thousand causes combine to keep a large proportion miserable. Too much confinement in heated rooms, or-in the same house, multiplied domestic and family worries, want of sleep, little illnesses hard to describe, but peculiar to their sex— are the wolfish pack that drive the women ‘‘half out of their Leads,” Miss M. A. Packard, of No. 323 Ewen street, Brooklyn, N. Y., confesses to have suffered from nameless phy@ical disarrangements so induced, and says: ‘PARKER’s GINGER Tonic is my strength and shield. It cured my dyspepsia and for those general ills of which women complain . so much, the Tonic is better than all things else, 1 have suffered for years in this way, and speak from experience. A valuablé@feature to womén is its delicious taste.” PakkeEr’s GINGER Tonic is not an essence of ginger, but a highly scientitic combination of the best vegetable curative agents known to tlie medical profession.

The mucharm to,those who heard it, and the patriotic songs sung at home will long have a place among the lyrics of the rescued nation. “War Songs” is a good looking book of 96 octavo pages. As we Open at random, we come across: “Brave boys are they, Gone at their country’s call;” and so they were brave boys. “Rally round the Flag” is there, of course, as'is Root’s “Battle Cry of Freedom.” “We are coming, Father Abraham, 800,000 strong,” r@minds us of the days of threatened disaster,and the grand response of the people to the cry of help, “Just before the Battle Mother,” recalls many a touching memor y as does “Weeping, sad and lonely.” Of course, ‘‘Glory Hallelujah’ has to be shouted, and ‘Old Shady” and his deep dyed brothers have to be heard, as they always will be, (a mile or two !) “Marching thro’ Georgia,” and “Tramp, tramp, tramp,” are well known to the boys. The older patriotic tunes are not forgotten, and there isa full supply’ of the tender and consoling hymns that belong to memorial and funeral occasions, There are also a few new tunes that will make hours by the camp fire pass pleasantly.
