large brogan shoe and peg it in neat and

fifteen minutes 10 perform the same task

without getting al all out OF breath.
The SHOE fitted on last ready for peg

machine, being then put in rapid motion,
seized hold OF the shoe, gave 1t a rapid turn

was next moved slowly so that we might

prove pasco. Z Collins Lee, of that city

Stevens is against him in Pennsylvania;
Tom. Corwir makes lin The but OF his mcr-

Munroe was when Weed sat upon his body
on the shores OF Sodns Bay, and pronounc-
ed it the body of William Morgan.
