from one of our former citizens who no. re-
sides at Mt Vernon. He did the carpenter
/ uatk iaf took A. sareent's old two story

that tins the erection Of 50 hn- bailJing
was rather ahead of the times, and wondered
At the folly of putting mp such iine house.
He has returned To his old home, and can sss
nothing of the old institution. Hut In lis
