the men were sets., work to repair the breach, and by
a quarter to nine the seme morning it was finished, and
the engine is now in foil work. It send. forth 11 gallons
of water per stroke, and makes St strokes per minute, so

tion, had murdered her husband by striking him on the

be obtained from the towns, and in order to remedy this,
a movement has been begun to form little confederations

the incendiaries. It Is rumoured some insurance °Moss
