we have no runaways to chronicle; hon'6res

no fights our canine population are all upon
terms of intimate friendship and submit all
their disputes to arbitration, and having no
fire company we can't afford hre. So our

disuuieteth himself in vain, and IN the bitter
ness of his spirit he bOrroweth Bible and
readeth the prophet Ezekiel, wherein he
findeth fearful assortment of calamities,
and he prayeth that such may befal this peo-
pie, that he may thereby have much Items.
His PRAYERS are an abOmination and avail
nothing.
