and knowing that the first of April was along time past he picked it
up and on opening it found that it contained a handsome diamond
ring that had evidently been purchased of E. Hallett, the popular
jeweler, who by the way has the largest and best stock of any jewel-e-
in the city. Mr. Hallett was seen by a Cokuier scribe this week

of both loose and set stones is the finest that can be found anywhere
and he is always pleased to quote prices on anything he has. Hia
