kets for less Than 37l cents a poundj
a dozen Of eggs costs the same; chick
ems cost 25 cents a piece; turkeys at

attributed to the supplies from lndi-

the difficulty Of crossing the river
That paper addSs "The construction
Of a bridge across the falls, with low
rates of toll, would open an easy and
