knew next to nothing about stock, and some oi
the good points he spoke of caused the Judge
q hearty laugh in his sleeve.

--LATEST and best pointed COW in the neigh>
borhood,' as he styled her, driven in his yard,
and he dispatched daughter o. africa to
milk her. in few minutes in came ebony,
giggling and laughing. Squire Wick knew
that something was to pay, but what he could
not conjecture. There stood Dinah copypl-
sed with laughter, the empty pail dangling

her laughing machinery shaking her sides ut
