ton, and also resolved that the Confederation

happearancc, Vici is both beautiful and
striking. He is a solitary crecchur, and
Is called vOodchuck because he lives i'm
the wood and the boys chuck stones at
him. He has hair upon his back and
upon his belly, and his tail is much the
same. His eyes are at the opposite
ends of the body, and assist him in the
amusing occupation of seeing, vich he
can sec in the dark az veil rs in the
light, hclse he wouldn't live in oles

mated things, he is fond of enjoying
himself, vich he does in very amiable
and interesting way. lie obbles along
upon the ground, ven nobody is looking
vacthcs the birds in the trees, and tries
to sing like them, viCh he has never sue
ceeded in doing; but this is not his
fault, because he hasn't got any feathers.
The vOodchuck lives good vile. My
huncle ad Won vat lived some time, but
finally died; though there is no telling
how long he would ave lived if it wasn't
for that ere haCcident. Howing to the
quiet life vich the voodchuck henjoys,
