himself MS well as he was able, but the horse
caught the flesh of his thigh in his teeth, and
tore it off in the most savage manner, leaving
the bone exposed. lie then went some little

quarters of mile in length, and has been tested
in several places which shows width Of some
thing like four feet, and tests to be worth from
one to two dollars per bushel. and seventy or
