ground with the refuse of his pig dye, but the
English FA Weymouth make the abomination
to do the work of paving mamma As there are a
couple of oontlued back yards at Garibaldi cottages
converted into pig-myes, whence the valuable
material for mending the road is derived, our cwres•
poodeat suggests that thine tenements are eminen ly
calculated fur "(ever hospitals."
