Shortly after, the discovery was made that Lb* young lady was also missing, sod as several-persona bad *lt; eo the engineer depart with * lady ctoeelf veiled, occupying the arat beside him, it dawned upon the^i nr keeper'tt mind that tbe birds bad flown— iu point of htct, that ytftmg Sniffklua had vamosed with young Bllffkins.

The body of the vehicle is a model of its kind, being oval to form, well pro* portioned and finished in elaborate style. Tbe panels are oval glass; the upper margin being festooned with gold fringe and gold tassels.
