Afterwarde the possession of it apparently preyed upon his mind, for he divulged it in detail to a friend. His reason for not making a public statement as to what he had seen, he said, was oD account of the time that he would be obliged to lose as a witness and the expense, which he couldn’t afford, In time, however, thia frivnd illustrated the truth of the saying that the seeret of two is nut a secret at all ; for he told another friend of it. And so it went, until now, in the eleventh hour, the attorneys tor the prosecus tion know as much about it as any one else.

Although the New Boplena Mining Company Las experienced more or less misfortune in the past, we learn from various parties who have recently visited its lower depths of late that the present prospects of its eventual success are good. Mr, Wade, the Superintendent, is exerting every faculty to insure the ‘welfare of all those interested in the undertuking, either as owners or employes, ind we believe that~ bis efforts will be floally rewarded by seeing this mine guoted aloogside with the best im the county. The uew mill attached to the boisting works wus started up on Saturday last, and is now busily engaged in crushing rock from the mine, The machinery all works spleadidly, and the result of its operation will serve “UC suppose God did save ‘me,bat thea F held on io)the grass, too.” ‘ta arte could’ Garry him.

THE STAR SOCIAL PARTY, The paity given at Temperance Hall on Saturday evening last, -under the auspices of the bdtar Buse Ball Olub, and in honor of the San Juan nine, who were their guests, was very largely attended andj an altogether pleasant event. The music was fine, and although the boys were :omewhat tired after the day’s sports, the enlivening strains caused them to feel a renewed appetite for the evening's evjoyment. In order to not infringe upon the Sabbath hours, dancing was discontinued shortly before midnight. Weare gratified to learn that a sufficient sum of entrance-money wus realized to pay for the music and incidental expenses of the occasion, and still have a smull surplas remaiving over, ee THE HUDSON MINE.

Although the New Boplena Mining Company Las experienced more or less misfortune in the past, we learn from various parties who have recently visited its lower depths of late that the present prospects of its eventual success are good. Mr, Wade, the Superintendent, is exerting every faculty to insure the ‘welfare of all those interested in the undertuking, either as owners or employes, ind we believe that~ bis efforts will be floally rewarded by seeing this mine guoted aloogside with the best im the county. The uew mill attached to the boisting works wus started up on Saturday last, and is now busily engaged in crushing rock from the mine, The machinery all works spleadidly, and the result of its operation will serve “UC suppose God did save ‘me,bat thea F held on io)the grass, too.” ‘ta arte could’ Garry him.

THE STAR SOCIAL PARTY, The paity given at Temperance Hall on Saturday evening last, -under the auspices of the bdtar Buse Ball Olub, and in honor of the San Juan nine, who were their guests, was very largely attended andj an altogether pleasant event.

In order to not infringe upon the Sabbath hours, dancing was discontinued shortly before midnight.
