of Ole Bull to this country was to make arrange
mcnts for the procurement of lands in the West

they may enjoy the blessings Of political free

acres of land, and is now taking measures to
bring over Norwegian Colony. He himself in

he has also purchased some lands, and is about

aSpit gold dollar pieces are rapidly multiply

the plundered sides stuck together again, the

The milling around the edge will be found bro

be observed protruding from it. The coin, too,
is thin in the middle"
